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.

Big 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.

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.

Monolog and Ship Log notes

Some enemy pages have notes. These are the notes that appear in the enemy reel, the cooking notes, and Olimar's notes. However, in Pikmin, there are still notes about Olimar's monologues and Ship Log entries. We must create a subpage "/monologue" for every article relating to something Olimar has monologued about in Pikmin. Additionally, we must create "/log" pages, as the Voyage Log info on some articles is hardcoded into the article, and should instead be written with Template:notes.

Game names

The names of Pikmin and Pikmin 2 are sometimes written incorrectly. In other words, there are still some articles out there that call Pikmin "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. In headings, no italicizations should be used, but if the header mentions the first game's name, it still mustn't have the number 1.

Additionally, when referring to the series, Pikmin must still be italicized. In short, unless it's referring to the creature, it should be italicized.

Killing walkthroughs

Some enemies don't have a killing strategy section. The articles that do have 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...

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.

Cave walkthroughs

Existing walkthroughs for cave pages are generally poorly written, and there are caves without any walkthrough. They are also severely lacking in helpful, illustrative images. Walkthroughs needs to be concise, accurate and objectively written. A list of cave articles is at Category:Caves.

Image pages

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.

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.

Challenge Mode Walkthroughs

Make walkthroughs for the Challenge Mode Levels. List of them are here.
