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, 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.

''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): | Coherence. Wikis don't look nice and organized if it's content isn't in uniform.

*'''''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''.

**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."

* | *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 | *While we're on the subject of trivia, make sure, if you're adding a trivia entry, that it's really necessary.

*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. | *Categories... let's be reasonable. Make sure you're adding pages to categories that would make sense.

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 | ||
The company now doesn't just do shipping. It has its own scientific branch, headed by a wacko Hocotation named Gizmo, that studies exoplanets and the strange things about them. Their biggest focus, however, is on the Pikmin planet. I mean, that's what started their money-making spike. So, the President sends builders to PNF-404 to design a Hocotate | The company now doesn't just do shipping.

The research facility is done. The construction is complete. It is a full-fledged little town (encased in a dome with breathable air) with multiple buildings. Complete with a database named... you guessed it. The Piklopedia. (however, it's empty because since the building's construction, no one has gone their to study the life forms. filling out this database will like filling out the Piklopedia in ''Pikmin 2''). It has a landing bunker for space ships. The President, to get more revenue, even had them build a large hotel for tourists who want to experience this odd, gigantic, but dangerous world. | The research facility is done.
