Pikipedia was created on December 3rd 2005 by [[User:Dark Lord Revan|Dark Lord Revan]] at [http://www.wikia.com Wikia]. On the third quarter of 2010, a major global website layout change was enforced onto all Wikia wikis; this change was not well received by most, and some wikis moved to independent domains, such as most of [http://www.niwanetwork.org/ NIWA]. Pikipedia followed suit, and became independent at pikminwiki.com on September 14th 2010. This move occurred through users of Pikcanon-NOT, the fanon wiki now known as [[fanon:|Pikmin Fanon]], who made an offer to Pikipedia to move to their new domain as well. | Pikipedia was created on December 3rd 2005 by [[User:Dark Lord Revan|Dark Lord Revan]] at [http://www.wikia.com Wikia].

During the departure, the Pikmin Wikia became devoid of action and outdated, nevertheless remaining on the top of search results for Pikmin-related wikis, given Wikia's recognition value on the Internet. Soon after news of ''[[Pikmin 3]]'', users who were eager to join a wiki and contribute went for the old website, without recognizing the existence of the official move to Pikipedia. To this day, edits continue to exist on both versions of the wiki. Given Wikia's current focus on social media and popularity, however, most of the contributors who appreciate its nature tend to be more inclined towards mass editing and attention rather than detail and accuracy, as Pikipedia does. | During the departure, the Pikmin Wikia became devoid of action and outdated, nevertheless remaining on the top of search results for Pikmin-related wikis, given Wikia's recognition value on the Internet.

There have been attempts to add a passive notification of the move on the front page of the outdated wiki. However, these are all immediately reverted for the sake of Wikia's refusal to have competition. | ||
