Removed the image gallery section because it's covered at Help:Editing, and rewrote the NTSC/PAL section to better fit the wiki's more recent standards.

==How do I make an image gallery?==
==What do NTSC and PAL mean?==
To make an image gallery, you would use the <code><nowiki><gallery></nowiki></code> tag, then list the images (one on each line) that you want to display.
 
*Example (Bulborb):
 
<pre><nowiki>
<gallery>
Red Bulborb P1 art.png|A [[Bulborb]].
Hairybulborb.jpg|A [[Hairy Bulborb]].
Orangebulborb.jpg|An [[Orange Bulborb]].
</gallery>
</nowiki></pre>
 
Turns into this:
<gallery>
Red Bulborb P1 art.png|A [[Bulborb]].
Hairybulborb.jpg|A [[Hairy Bulborb]].
Orangebulborb.jpg|An [[Orange Bulborb]].
</gallery>
 
==What is this NTSC and PAL?==
{{main|Region}}
{{main|Region}}
NTSC and PAL are the two different versions of the [[Pikmin series|''Pikmin'' games]]. In themselves, NTSC and PAL refer to the television coding systems the game must display in, and so games must be altered to be compatible with consoles in the same region. During this localization process, other changes and fixes are also made, forming the two known different versions of the game. PAL games are generally distributed in Europe and Australia, while NTSC ones are found in Japan and America. On the wiki, avoid using the terms "PAL" and "NTSC". Instead, use "US" and "European".
{{w|NTSC}} and {{w|PAL}} are analog television encoding schemes. NTSC is used in North America and Japan, while PAL is used in Europe and Australia. Video games from before the age of digital television usually have separate NTSC and PAL versions for technical reasons, but these version differences are also used to allow for different localization versions, altering aspects of the game to fit regional cultural differences. "NTSC" is often used as a short way to refer to the American localization of a game, while "PAL" is used to refer to the European localisation. However, this usage of the terms is technically inaccurate, since the versions for different televisions don't necessarily have to have localization differences, and there can be different versions of the game for the same encoding scheme (such as different Japanese and American versions that both use NTSC). On Pikipedia, it is therefore recommended to use the terms "Japanese", "US", and "European" to refer to the different localized versions of ''Pikmin'' games.


==Can I type "Pikmin" with a lowercase p?==
==Can I spell "Pikmin" with a lowercase p?==
No. Every time you type Pikmin, always do it with an uppercase P. This is the official spelling. You can read more at [[Pikmin family#Naming]].
