Information that can only be obtained through these means but is still true in normal gameplay, however, is welcome on articles.

==Leaks== | |||
In the case that some ''Pikmin'' content somehow gets in the hands of the public when it was clear that the developers intended to keep it a secret, so they can reveal it at a later date, Pikipedia should not document this content. If relevant, Pikipedia can document that the leak happened, but that's about it. At best, showcasing this content could spoil upcoming things for the fans. At worst, it could be a violation of fair use. This can apply to private content leaked by a malicious actor (like a hacker), information accidentally published before the right time and then removed (like a tweet), or to [[unused content]] in a game that will likely find use in the future (like in a live game that gets constant updates or some [[DLC]]). | |||
Said information should still be held on to, so that if in the future it becomes clear that that content was never meant to be used anywhere, it can be documented on the wiki, assuming good faith. | |||
