This is a list of ongoing projects at the Pikipedia that we could do with some help on. To request that other projects be undertaken, please leave a comment on the talk page. When a project has been completed, its section can be removed from this page. See also Category:Articles with things to do.
Main projects
Max deaths
A new attribute has been added to the enemies' infoboxes: max deaths. This is the maximum number of Pikmin that can die in a single attack. However, almost all enemy pages lack info on this subject. We must observe every attack of every enemy, on both games, and write how many Pikmin can die in a single blow, if any. As discussed here, some values should be gathered first, and then their place will be later decided. As of now, Espyo will host a list.
Cave infobox images
The cave's infoboxes all have the same image: File:Cave entrance.jpg. As discussed here, all infoboxes should have a screenshot of the cave's most notable floor.
Monologs, Voyage Log entries and ship's dialogs
Olimar's monologs, Olimar's Voyage Log and Ship's dialogs should be placed on pages they refer to, if any, using {{notes}}. To do this, move the text to "Notes:Article name/monolog" (or "/voyage" or "/ship") and include {{metadata}} as documented. Then add or change the notes template on the article (see the template's documentation), and transclude the new subpage on the notes listing page it comes from. Some articles already have these notes, but they are hardcoded into the article, and should instead use Template:Notes.
Game names
Some instances of the names Pikmin and Pikmin 2 are formatted and named incorrectly. In other words, there are still some articles out there that call the first game "Pikmin 1". There are two things that need to be done. Every time the first game is referred, it shouldn't contain the number 1. And every time either game is mentioned, its name should be italicized. These changes should not break the policies, though.
Additionally, when referring to the series, Pikmin must still be italicized.
Walkthroughs
Some articles about enemies, caves and Challenge Mode levels don't have a strategy/walkthrough section. The articles that do have one aren't coherent. Some of them have the strategies in a section on the bottom, others have the strategy hidden within the regular description text; some call the reader "you" and provide walkthroughs, others use the term "the player" and explain strategies in a more general way... A consistent style for these must be discussed sometime in the future.
Treasures
Most treasure articles still lack proper information as to the location and collection of the treasure. A list of treasure articles can be found at Treasure Hoard or Template:Treasures.
2-player battle locations
Most 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. Find a list here.
Ship's dialogs
In Pikmin 2, the Ship will usually give out dialog as a form of advice to the player. However only very little dialog has been transferred, and thus more dialog needs to be added to the page. Here is a list of what needs to be added:
- Pikmin (sighting, obtaining, abilities discovered)
- Sprays (collecting berries, making spray out of, collecting drop, using)
- Nectar, nectar weed, rubble
- Candypop Buds
- Hazards (fire, water, poison, electricity)
- Bulbmin
- Cave (one per cave)
Day 1Day 2- Day 3
- End of day
- Exploration Kit
- Challenge Mode unlocked
- Titan Dweevil
- Debt repayment
- Pikmin extinction
If this list is missing something or need to talk about something about the project in general, suggest it here.
Notes format
Pages that use {{notes}} need to be switched to the new format, as described on the template page. A list of pages can be found here.
Smaller projects
- For pages that have a "Brawl trophy" section, we should rename it to "Brawl trophy description". It looks better that way.
- Images require, for the most part, vastly improved descriptions. These do not have to be long or detailed, but concise and accurate, just a sentence about what the image is of, probably with a link to its subject if there's an article on it.
