(Made some clarifications.)
(I was intending to wait until I finished the Music in Hey! Pikmin article to update this page, but since I've been putting off doing the last 2 music analysis sessions for 3 months now, I may as well update it.)

A few years later, I finally decided to join Pikipedia in January 2020. At first I didn't edit very much, doing a few small edits and projects. But in August, {{p3d}} was announced. On the ''Pikmin'' Discord server (Pikcord), I became one of the most active theorists about the new game, looking at promotional material and discussing it with others. And on Pikipedia, I started uploading lots of promotional images and screenshots from trailers about this game. This led me to start editing more things. In particular, I noticed that the [[Menu]] article was getting very large and was lacking a lot of ''Pikmin 3'' and ''Hey! Pikmin'' information. I proposed to split the article into smaller articles about each menu screen to allow this extra information to be documented, and the resulting project to [[:Category:Menus|split the article]] and document more menu screens was my first major Pikipedia project. When ''Pikmin 3 Deluxe'' came out, I uploaded a lot of screenshots to the wiki, mostly of the [[Side Stories]] stages, while documenting its new and updated features as well.

In 2021, I started making more diverse edits to the wiki. I did various small projects throughout the year, such as researching [[hint]]s and [[objective]]s, making ''Pikmin 3 Deluxe'' [[:File:Tropical Wilds map P3D.png|ar]][[:File:Garden of Hope map P3D.png|ea]] [[:File:Distant Tundra map P3D.png|ma]][[:File:Twilight River map P3D.png|ps]], and rewriting some notable pages, including [[Pikipedia:About]], [[Help:Editing]], and [[Pikmin family]]. On {{date|21|August|2021}}, my username was changed from Botanist to Soprano to match the name I use on the Pikcord. When {{pb}} was released, I became the most active contributor of information about the new game, creating several articles, doing research with others, and documenting community findings. On {{date|4|April|2022}}, I was promoted to [[Pikipedia:Patrollers|patroller]] on the wiki. I've had a great time contributing to Pikipedia, and would encourage others to join this great wiki.

In 2022, I continued to document the frequent changes to ''Pikmin Bloom'' (which became rather annoying to do after a while), as well as do other wiki projects. I wrote an article on [[weight]], looked through every file on the wiki to revive the [[Template:Featured image|featured image system]], and analyzed the entire [[Music in Hey! Pikmin|Hey! Pikmin soundtrack]]. On {{date|4|April|2022}}, I was promoted to [[Pikipedia:Patrollers|patroller]] on the wiki. Now that {{p4}} has been announced, I'm really looking forward to documenting all its new features, and I'd encourage others to join this great wiki to help out!

These are some things I plan to do sometime when I have time, but feel free to work on them if you want – a wiki is never complete, and when there are more people helping out, it's a better resource for everyone.
