(Added a project to revive the random content box one of these days. Also, removed the new theme project (I wonder why...).)
(Removed the old featured image task, since it's a part of the random content box task.)

Most [[:Category:Mission Mode levels|Mission Mode pages]] should have the basic lists of enemies and obstacles by now. Each level should have a in-text guide, split up into multiple paragraphs, on the most efficient way to get a Platinum medal in the level. We have plans to make video guides on the Wiki's YouTube channel, but until/if we get to doing that, we should add these guides ASAP. If someone has a strategy and you think you have a better one, please discuss on the talk page as to which we will put on the stage. There should be guides for both [[Collect Treasure!]] and [[Battle Enemies!]]; guides for the bosses are already present on their respective pages.

=== Find cool images ===
Our [[:Template:Featured image|featured image]] banner of the front page has been abandoned for years. Over the course of the series's lifespan, several wonderful screenshots have been taken, and some deserve more attention than just being lost inside some article. Browse around the wiki, find good images, and start suggesting them in the template's talk page! If you could also contribute with ideas on how to improve the featured image section, those would be great too.

One of the [[Main Page]]'s features for a few years was the "random content" box. It randomly displayed either a [[Template:Featured image|featured image]], or some [[Template:Excerpt|random excerpts]] from the games. However, that box has not been updated in years, and it was showing the same things over and over. A ''lot'' more content should be picked for it.

It's recommended to browse around the wiki, find good images and quotes, and start gathering a list of candidates in the template's talk page. If you could also contribute with ideas on how to improve the random content feature, those would be great too.

=== Convert large files ===
Some files on the wiki are pretty massive. Heavy PNGs should be replaced by lighter JPGs or go through PNGCrush, high-quality JPGs should have their quality toned down, and images with needlessly high dimensions should be shrunk. But of course, common sense needs to be used for this. If the image is meant to have clear detail, it might be best for it to stay the way it is. Use your judgment. A list of the largest files can be found [https://www.pikminwiki.com/index.php?title=Special:ListFiles&sort=img_size&limit=250&desc=1 here].
