Since the tasks vary in importance, duration, expected ''Pikmin'' knowledge, and required MediaWiki skills, this page will start with a nifty table listing all tasks and these attributes, as well as how close to completion they are. You can sort the table using the header row buttons, to make it easier to find a task that suits you. Of course, these values are subjective, and they're just recommendations – feel free to try any of the projects listed anyway. Read [[Pikipedia:Helping out]] if you feel you need to be better prepared. As you contribute to these projects, feel free to update this page.

{{pb}}, the newest game in the ''Pikmin'' series, has lots of unique features compared to the other games, and some of these are surprisingly complicated. Thoroughly documenting these features, and any changes to them in [[update]]s, is an important task.

{{su}} features some ''Pikmin'' content. Most of it is not documented on the wiki. In the game's article, the list of spirits, songs, etc. should be completed, and in the articles of each Spirit, item, Assist Trophy, etc.'s subject, there should be a small section explaining how it works in the game.

=== 2-Player Battle stage cleanup ===
Most [[:Category:2-Player Battle locations|2-Player Battle stage articles]] are short. The pages need data (enemy list, hazard list, Pellet Posy list), descriptions (possible layouts, marble and Onion locations, where cherries tend to land), and level-specific strategies. Ideally, they'd have one section per layout (including the [[2-Player Battle#Layout selection|layout selection]] direction, and the technical information template in each).
Most [[:Category:2-Player Battle locations|2-Player Battle stage articles]] are short. The pages need data (object list, starting spray amount, buried yellow marble amount), descriptions (possible layouts, marble and Onion locations, where cherries tend to land), and stage-specific strategies. Ideally, they'd have one section per layout (including the [[2-Player Battle#Stage generation and layouts|layout selection]] direction, and the technical information template in each). As for the object amounts, it may not be enough to simply use the game files, since those for some reason don't mention all the objects.

=== Explain how to reach caves ===
=== Document the Play Nintendo website ===
As of {{date|22|January|2014}}, the [[Pikipedia:Cave article guidelines|cave article guidelines]] has a new section. The purpose of this section is to explain to players how to reach the cave in question. The [[:Category:Caves|cave articles]] currently don't follow this part of the guidelines.
The [https://play.nintendo.com Play Nintendo website] has various ''Pikmin'' content, including character descriptions, quizzes, minigames, and craft projects. An article should be created to document all this content, similar to but smaller than the [[mariowiki:Play Nintendo|Super Mario Wiki article on this topic]].

=== Document the max Pikmin deaths ===
=== Document the max Pikmin deaths ===
As discussed [[Template talk:Infobox enemy|here]], some values for the maximum number of Pikmin that can get affected by a single attack should be gathered first, and then their place in an article will be later decided. As of now, [[User:Espyo|Espyo]] will host a [[User:Espyo/Pikmin cap|list]].

=== Confirm ''Hey! Pikmin'' cutscene Pikmin requirements ===
There may be more ''Hey! Pikmin'' cutscenes that have a minimum Pikmin requirement than the ones documented on the wiki. Somebody should go through all the cutscenes (which will likely require a fresh save file) using the fewest amount of Pikmin possible, and then check what the Pikmin requirements are for each one. Alternatively, this information may be easily accessible by checking the game files.


=== Transcribe text in treasures ===
=== Transcribe text in treasures ===
Some [[:Category:Treasures|treasures]] have text written on them, much like the real world objects they represent. Using either the game textures or the real world counterparts, we should transcribe the text written on the object and point it down on the wiki. Some treasure articles don't have these transcriptions yet.

Some treasure articles don't have these transcriptions yet.
=== Add guidebook enemy notes ===
Add the notes on enemies from the ''Pikmin'' Player's Guide, the ''New Play Control!'' Prima Guide, ''Pikmin 2'' Player's Guide, Pikmin Nintendo Power Promotional Booklet, and the ''Pikmin 3'' Prima Guide. For guides that aren't online, attempt to transcribe the notes from the book to the page with no errors.

=== Convert large files ===
=== 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. Read [[Help:Files|this]] as your starting point and 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].

=== Write ''Pikmin 2'' enemy IDs ===
Every enemy and obstacle in ''Pikmin 2'' has an internal "teki" ID number. This number should go in the technical information section of each enemy's article.
=== Remove the ability for infoboxes to add game icons ===
The game icons in the top right of articles are generally added by [[Template:Game icons]], but some [[:Category:Information boxes|infobox templates]] add game icons automatically. While this may reduce the number of templates used on some pages, it complicates the game icon system and can make it hard to understand. Ideally, Template:Game icons should be the only template allowed to add game icons, and other templates should have this functionality removed. This would require adding Template:Game icons to hundreds of articles to replace the icons currently added by infoboxes, a task that should ideally be performed by a [[Pikipedia:Bots|bot]].
