Hello! I'm Soprano, formerly called Botanist. I'm an active editor and patroller here on Pikipedia, making many kinds of contributions. Pikmin 3 is my favorite Pikmin game and most of my edits have been related to it, but I work on documenting the other games too. I also help keep the main page templates updated, and upload lots of images from time to time. If you need to ask me a question about the wiki, feel free to ask on my talk page, or join Pikipedia's Discord server and ask there.
Me and the wiki
I first learned about Pikmin when Pikmin 3 came out. I didn't know about Pikipedia or any game wiki at the time. I got New Play Control! Pikmin for my Wii, but it was too hard for me and I stopped playing halfway through. In mid-2014 I got a Wii U and Pikmin 3, and that game was much more doable. I got New Play Control! Pikmin 2 in early 2016, and it was also too difficult, mainly because I didn't want to lose any Purple Pikmin.
In late 2016, I found Pikipedia, through Bulbapedia. I started reading the wiki, and for the first few months of 2017 it was one of my favorite websites. I read pretty much every article on the site and talked about Pikmin with someone else who played the games. I was eventually able to beat Pikmin 2 with some help from the wiki, and later Pikmin as well. Throughout this time, I read the wiki a lot, but never thought of editing it. I got Hey! Pikmin when it came out, but by then I wasn't reading the wiki much.
A few years later, I finally decided to join Pikipedia in January 2020. At first I didn't edit very much, doing a few small edits and projects. But in August, Pikmin 3 Deluxe was announced. On the Pikmin Discord server, I became one of the most active theorists about the new game, looking at promotional material and discussing it with others. And on Pikipedia, I started uploading lots of promotional images and screenshots from trailers about this game. This led me to start editing more things. In particular, I noticed that the Menu article was getting very large and was lacking a lot of Pikmin 3 and Hey! Pikmin information. I proposed to split the article into smaller articles about each menu screen to allow this extra information to be documented, and the resulting project to split the article and document more menu screens was my first major Pikipedia project. When Pikmin 3 Deluxe came out, I uploaded a lot of screenshots to the wiki, mostly of the Side Stories stages, while documenting its new and updated menus as well.
In 2021, I started making more diverse edits to the wiki. I did various small projects throughout the year, such as researching hints and objectives, making Pikmin 3 Deluxe area maps, starting to update Template:Did you know, and rewriting some notable pages, including Pikipedia:About, Help:Editing, and Pikmin family. When Pikmin Bloom was released, I became the most active contributor of information about the new game, creating new articles, doing research with others, and documenting community findings. I've had a great time contributing to Pikipedia, and would encourage others to join this great wiki.
Plans
These are some things I plan to do sometime when I have time, but feel free to work on them if you want – a wiki is never complete, and when there are more people helping out, it's a better resource for everyone.
- Improve the treatment of regional differences in treasure articles.
- Expand Story Mode, Sequence break, and Music in Hey! Pikmin.
- Expand Hey! Pikmin articles of all kinds. (a big project I plan to do sometime)
- Add thorough layout descriptions to areas and stages in all game modes. (another big project, won't be for a long time)
- Make detailed SVG maps of areas. (eventually)
- Improve the wiki's accessibility to people with less knowledge of the franchise and its mechanics.
Subpages
- Gallery – A list of the images I've uploaded to the wiki. (Warning: lots of images, may take a while to load.)
- Pikmin 3 Area Design Analysis – An analysis of area design in Pikmin 3.
- Pikmin 3 Fruit Table – A list of fruits in Pikmin 3 for comparing juice and weight.
