+The '''Pikipedia''' is a wiki for information pertaining to [[Pikmin]], the [[Pikmin series|series]] of video games developed by [[Nintendo]]. It was created on  December 3rd 2005 by [[User:Dark Lord Revan|Dark Lord Revan]] on wikia. It began moving to pikminwiki.com on September 14th, 2010, after users of PikCanon-NOT offered Pikipedia to also move to their new domain. The move was quick, thanks to a bot created by [[User:Greenpickle|Greenpickle]]. The outdated wikia site still exists today, and Greenpickle's moving notice can still be found there. Pikipedia currently has {{NUMBEROFARTICLES}} articles so far. Having only one consonant difference, its name resembles that of Wikipedia closely, well still retaining the first part of the word pikmin.
 Being a wiki, everybody is free to edit pages and leave comments on talk pages, done by using the ''edit'' tab at the top of pages.  Other ways to get involved and become part of the community include creating or participating in topics at the [[Forum:Index|forum]] and chatting in the [[Pikmin:Chatroom|IRC chatroom]].  The Pikipedia also has a Livestream channel, which can be found [http://www.livestream.com/pikipedia here].

-During summer 2010, Pikipedia moved from [http://wikia.com Wikia] to Independent [http://www.niwanetwork.org/index.html NIWA]. This move was originally inflicted by the outrage of a new Wikia look at [http://www.fanon.pikminwiki.com/ Pikmin Fanon].
