 *'''Bold '''the first time an article uses the name of the subject. Haven't seen this as too big of a problem, but there area  few instances.
 **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)
-*Calling ''Pikmin ''"Pikmin 1" isn't something I like. It's kind of more like a pet peeve. By taking off the "1" and italicizing the game name, that should be enough to tell people it is a 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'', just like the ''Pikmin ''series (However Kirby obviously hasa  lot more games, it's just that they don't have the continual title)

-**''*''Notice how "Kirby's Dream Land 1" isn't italicized. I don't think I've ever seen a "Pikmin 1" italicized. Direct relationship, it seems.

 *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 Cave's sublevel walk through, each sublevel header should be heading 3.
 **Trivia header is Heading 2. I don't find that this happens to much as Trivia only needs to be typed once on any page, but I've seen it, like, 3 times since my joining of this wiki
-**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. However, this is kind of just a "me" thing (since I started going off this format from what I saw on the Main Engine's page), so if you're thinking I'm being overly dictative about this wiki, you don't absolutely have to do this (just know, that if I see a non-Header 3 for different types of notes, I'll change it).

-*This is minor, but this wiki has a pattern of putting the gallery before the trivia. Keep it that way. I've seen a few where the trivia is before the gallery
+*This is minor, but the triva goes '''''after''''' the gallery. Keep it that way. I've seen a few where the trivia is before the gallery. While I don't really care if it was either way, 95% of the articles I've seen follow the pattern of
-*Categories... Guys, 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 ''from what we've seen and plants aren't enemies.

 **And also make sure you're not making unnecessary categories. We don't need categories for each individual Pikmin.
 *Trivia. Sometimes, people will add trivia entries that don't belong in the trivia. If it is something Pikmin do in game that's clearly seen, it doesn't belong there. For example, saying Yellow Pikmin can control electric currents in ''Pikmin 3 ''is not trivia because it is an important gameplay mechanic.
