This article is about the Pikmin creatures you control in the series. However, its name is "Pikmin family", in the same format as other [[Template:Families|family articles]]. This article is not structured like other family articles on the wiki, but this is fine given its more broad focus and the fact that it still functions as a family article. Or at least, it was fine, until [[Glow Pikmin]] were added. Glow Pikmin are a type of Pikmin, but they are not in the Pikmin family, so they are also listed in the [[Unknown family]] article. This raises the question of whether there should be separate articles covering the Pikmin creatures and the Pikmin family. One issue with doing this is that the resulting articles would have a large amount of overlap, and another issue is that there's no obvious title for the article about the creatures, which is a problem given it would be one of the most important articles on the wiki. But it is worth considering that a similar thing was done with the [[Candypop family]] article, with the [[Candypop Bud]] article being split out a few months ago. Should this article be split? And if so, what should the titles of the resulting pages be? &mdash; [[User:Soprano|'''Soprano''']]<sub>[[User talk:Soprano|''(talk)'']]</sub> 04:39, May 12, 2024 (EDT)
