::When it comes to covering unused content on Template:Did you know, we have to be very careful to make it clear that it's unused. People with many varying levels of ''Pikmin'' knowledge see this front-page template, and having unused content there could confuse some people. Also, we don't really document unused content in other games that resembles ''Pikmin'' stuff, because it doesn't fit on the [[Reference]] article. So with that in mind, I think the Goomba and Pikpik carrot trivia points are good, they just need a rewording.

::I think the Waterwraith and Dwarf Bulbear trivia points are pretty good and interesting. You point out why the Emperor Bulblax one doesn't really work in this comment, and it's not that interesting anyway. As for {{p1}}'s creation story, my interpretation was that ''Adam and Eve'' was in development and wasn't going well, and ''Super Mario 128'' was just a tech demo that didn't really have anywhere to go, so they combined ideas from each game into ''Pikmin''. &mdash; [[User:Soprano|'''Soprano''']]<sub>[[User talk:Soprano|''(talk)'']]</sub> 18:38, July 16, 2022 (EDT)

:::I'm not really sure how to avoid getting someone confused with an unused content trivia point.  Of course, not to say that's my goal, but saying that "X is unused in ''Y''" seems like it would suffice.  It would just be easier to avoid the subject all together, but I think that would be missing out on some interesting things.  But if it's necessary to avoid it, then I'd say do it.  As it's currently written though, the Goomba point seems easy enough to understand.  It could maybe be simplified to just "''...that there is an unused model of a Goomba in ''Pikmin''?''", but I think that's missing out on the fact there's two similar things, in two very different games.
