An editor original from the Pikmin Wiki, but due to the merge, I am brought here. Everything in my user page was originally from the old wiki. I don't want to revise everything, so things I added in from my time here will be italicized and bolded, since I want to differentiate. | |||
Firstly, my username is not a spelling mistake. The name comes from a mix of 3 words: "Stupid," "Super," and "Star." I am stupid, and Kirby Super Star is one of my favorite games, so it fits. | |||
I hang around a bunch of different sites, so you could possibly see me in some other place. However, this is the only place where I use StuperStar as a username, so you'd have to ask the person you think is me... I'll leave it up to you to find me. XP | |||

Mostly because this is the only community that doesn't have a huge clan of people running it. Kirby, the Legend of Zelda, Mario, and etc. all have a huge staff working on their wikis or information websites. Here at the Pikmin Wiki, which to my knowledge is the #1 source for Pikmin knowledge (first thing that comes up on Google and doesn't have as much competition as all the Zelda websites, like the two wikis, Zelda Dungeon, etc.) | ||

This is a great lesson. Sometimes I find people that add really useless info on pages that are obvious and sometimes stupid. I've seen an enemy's color description in a trivia entry. Given that we have a picture, this is unnecessary. So, if you edit something, please have a good reason. I'm not trying to deter anyone from actually editing, I'm just urging you to edit only if you are actually improving the quality of the page rather than cluttering it. | This is a great lesson.

==Things to Improve== | |||
'''''Everything below pertained mostly to the old wiki as we had a large amount of newbie editors that paid little attention to proper format. But I'll just leave it here since, really, it should apply to every, if not most, wikis.''''' | |||
Coherence. Wikis don't look nice and organized if it's content isn't in uniform. Here's a list of things that I'm trying to fix. I like to think of myself as the format Police of this wiki. I have spent hours searching this Wiki for the things that get on my nerves (I'm very fastidious on order and coherence). This is what I aim to do (not all of this deals with coherence, might I add): | |||
*'''''Italicize ''games'''. For example, ''Pikmin'', ''Pikmin 2'', and ''Pikmin 3''. It doesn't matter where the title is (in a heading, normal body paragraph, etc.). JUST ITALICIZE IT. This is a biggy. Also, when you say "the Pikmin series," italicize "Pikmin" (so it becomes "the ''Pikmin ''series"). This is observed in every wiki that I have ever been on. | *'''''Italicize ''games'''. For example, ''Pikmin'', ''Pikmin 2'', and ''Pikmin 3''.

**Sometimes articles have more than one official name (for example, PNF-404 and Wollywog). If an article falls in that category, bold the first time its other name(s) is used (like "Wollyhop" for Wollywog, or "Planet of the Pikmin" for PNF-404) | **Sometimes articles have more than one official name (for example, PNF-404 and Wollywog). If an article falls in that category, bold the first time its other name(s) is/are used (like "Wollyhop" for Wollywog, or "Planet of the Pikmin" for PNF-404) | ||
* | *'''THE FIRST ''PIKMIN'' GAME DOES NOT END IN A 1'''. To my standards, "Pikmin 1" is unacceptable on so many levels. By taking off the "1" and italicizing the game name, that should be enough to tell people it is the game, while keeping it's official title. For example, in the Kirby Wikia, they don't call ''Kirby's Dream Land ''"Kirby's Dream Land 1" even though the series also has ''Kirby's Dream Land 2 ''and ''3.''. | ||
**'' | **''''I don't think I've ever seen a "Pikmin 1" italicized. Coincidence? I THINK NOT | ||
*Linking words to multi-sectional pages. Pages like [[Obstacles]] and [[Sprays]] cover multiple topics, right? Obstacles covers a heck of a lot. Because of that, if you are properly linking things to pages, Obstacles should be a common you type out. Whenever you reference a wall, a bridge, a scale, etc., you're linking things to this page. But, in my honest opinion, linking the word to just the page isn't enough. If someone wants to know information, they want to be brought right to it, or as close as possible, and it ''is'' possible to get them closer. say you're linking something to the paper bag part of the obstacles page. What you would do is: '''[Obstacles#Man-Made|Paper Bag]'''. You add a "'''#Whatever section the thing is located in'''". Paper Bag is in the Man-Made section, so you link it to that section. This is just to keep things more precise. | |||
*Heading. Make sure you know what ones to use. Here's a list of different things I've seen that has used the wrong heading. | *Heading. Make sure you know what ones to use. Here's a list of different things I've seen that has used the wrong heading. | ||

**For Note headers, use "Heading 3." For example, in ''Pikmin 2'', enemies have "Olimar's Notes" and "Louie's Notes." Those exact words (the header of the passage) should be set to Header 3. | **For Note headers, use "Heading 3." For example, in ''Pikmin 2'', enemies have "Olimar's Notes" and "Louie's Notes." Those exact words (the header of the passage) should be set to Header 3. | ||
* | **If you have any doubts on which one you should use, check a similar article (like another fruit or treasure). | ||
*Categories... | *Trivia goes '''''after''''' the gallery. Keep it that way. I've seen a few articles where the trivia is before the gallery. While I don't really care if it were the other way around, when i joined this wikia community, 95% of the articles followed the trivia-after-gallery pattern | ||
*While we're on the subject of trivia, make sure, if you're adding a trivia entry, that it's really necessary. Chances are, if the article has more than 10 entries, there are some unnecessary entires. For example, saying Yellow Pikmin can control electric currents in ''Pikmin 3 ''is not trivia because it is an important gameplay mechanic. And anything previously stated in thearticle does not go in Trivia. There have been some cases were I have moved something previously out of the Trivia to it, but chances are it's the other way around | |||
*Categories... let's be reasonable. Make sure you're adding pages to categories that would make sense. No, Olimar's family is not in ''Pikmin 3'' and plants aren't enemies. | |||
**And also make sure you're not making unnecessary categories. We don't need categories for each individual Pikmin. | **And also make sure you're not making unnecessary categories. We don't need categories for each individual Pikmin. | ||
*Spelling and grammar. Yes, there's not much we can do to stop it. It happens. Some people are bad at it and don't review their work (I for one) very well, but if you can please check over your edit, that would be great. But mistakes happen. So help someone out, and if you have the time, check recent edits to review their writing mechanics | |||

Hocotate | Hocotate Freight becomes richer and richer due to the President's new found source of cash (PNF-404). Hocotate has grown from not just a small shipping company that only has a corperate building on Hocotate, but on many planets. It's grown into the biggest intergalactic shipping company in the system. This obviously doesn't go well with some other shipping companies that had to file bankruptcy due to Hocotate Frieght's monopoly on shipping. Hocotate Freight has made some enemies | ||
