==Piklopedia Deaths== | ==Piklopedia Deaths== | ||
Sorry for the confusion. I actually posted another message on [[Talk:Piklopedia]] earlier. For the Hermit Crawmad, the glitch I was referring to was the glitch that kills a small Hermit Crawmad when you walk into it while it is petrified. My thoughts when testing this were: "If the glitch works for leaders and Pikmin, then it should probably work for Pikpik Carrots too, since they ''do'' count as Pikmin. There isn't any reason for the glitch not to work in the Piklopedia." {{User:Mariotime315/sig}} 16:42, 7 November 2016 (EST) | Sorry for the confusion.

==Category:Map images, Category:Radar patterns, and Category:Maps== | ==Category:Map images, Category:Radar patterns, and Category:Maps== | ||
At the moment, [[:Category:Map images]], [[:Category:Radar patterns]], and [[:Category:Maps]] are very disorganized categories. From what I can tell, [[:Category:Map images]] is a very old category for map-type images, [[:Category:Radar patterns]] is specifically for textures of maps from the radar, and [[:Category:Maps]] is where [[:Template:File info]] places images with the type of Map. There's a lot of overlap in what types of images they cover, particularly in the case of [[:Category:Map images]] and [[:Category:Maps]]. In order to sort out this mess, I propose that [[:Category:Maps]] be merged with [[:Category:Map images]] by editing [[:Template:File info]], and all the radar textures in [[:Category:Map images]] be moved to [[:Category:Radar patterns]] (over time, as there are several), and all the non-maps in [[:Category:Map images]] be removed. Perhaps we could have a category specifically for custom-made diagrams as well. Would this be a good idea? — [[User: | At the moment, [[:Category:Map images]], [[:Category:Radar patterns]], and [[:Category:Maps]] are very disorganized categories.

:That sounds like a plan to me. In fact, I'm even thinking the following: Category:Radar patterns for game textures that show any sort of map. Category:User-made maps for anything not official. Category:Maps as the parent category of the last two, and also as the house of any other map-related images. — '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 14:42, April 9, 2021 (EDT) | :That sounds like a plan to me.

::::::Hmm, right. I think the template does that for other things too. I honestly can't figure out the best solution right now, so I guess we just let it happen.

== Re: Redirects == | |||
Hi Espyo—sorry about that. On a previous wiki I edited, updating redirect links was something we would try to stay on top of and routinely did, although obviously that was a different wiki, and I probably shouldn't have assumed that the same was done here. Thanks for letting me know. [[User:Milkmancer|Milkmancer]] ([[User talk:Milkmancer|talk]]) 13:28, September 17, 2022 (EDT) | |||
== Source for Takashi Nagasako voicing Captain Charlie? == | |||
Hey! I was recently browsing the pikipedia and noticed there's a voice actor listed for Charlie. I'd never heard of this before, so I was intrigued! I tried to look for a source in the credits for the game but found nothing. Where did you find this info? Thanks!

:Hmm, that's pretty weird. I can't find a source for that either. I'm not sure where I got it from, but I know I wouldn't have just made the name up or anything... — '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 07:09, January 27, 2023 (EST) | |||
== How to report vandalism == | |||
It is too late at night for me to reliably work out how to make hyperlinks work given my current bout of illness, so forgive the plaintext here, but on the article for " https://www.pikminwiki.com/Glitches_in_Pikmin_3#Hard_to_reproduce ", the link next to the "Hard to reproduce" entry for "By changing from a leader that is in the Sandbelching Meerslug's fight to a leader that is elsewhere just before the boss is defeated, the game may show the defeat cutscene with the camera underground, and may then lock up. " has been edited at some point to link to a clip of an unrelated Joe Rogan podcast. I am uncertain how to revert the page to the relevant prior version, especially since the edit history seems to show a lock was placed on the page just yesterday, presumably due to other vandalism which was caught. [[User:Amnesiacjournal|Amnesiacjournal]] ([[User talk:Amnesiacjournal|talk]]) 01:18, February 19, 2023 (EST) | |||
:You can just report vandalism to my user talk page like you did here. You can also undo the vandalism and I'll eventually catch it in the recent changes. If it's urgent, you can find me on the Pikcord Discord server. Now, as for that video in particular...looks like that was me :P I remember laughing hard at it back then, so I must've copy-pasted the URL to share with other people, then went to copy-paste the glitch video to put on the wiki but the "copy" part must've failed. Anyway I was able to find the intended video, so I've fixed the page. That said, I can't find any lock on the page whatsoever. — '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 10:14, February 19, 2023 (EST) | |||
:Ah, gotcha. I read in the page-change history that a lock had been added, but it was an update summary message I didn't want to test in the state I was in, as to avoid gumming up the works. Thank you for the clarification, we've all had clipboard mistakes before. [[User:Amnesiacjournal|Amnesiacjournal]] ([[User talk:Amnesiacjournal|talk]]) 15:24, February 19, 2023 (EST) | |||
== A question about Pikcross == | |||
Hello! On the April Fool's article, it says you're the programmer for the Pikcross April Fool's game, so I figure you're probably best suited to answer this question. I come asking on behalf of the Mario Wiki if it would be fine to use the Pikcross source code for an upcoming community event, as there's plans to include Picross puzzles as part of it, and the Pikcross game engine more than meets the requirements for having an in-browser Picross engine. This would be a modified version of Pikcross, hosting its own puzzles and presumably hosting its own graphics as well, but using the pre-existing code as a basis for it. | |||
I figured since the source code is freely linked in the article itself, it's probably alright, but I wanted to ask just in case there's any problems with attribution or what-have-you. [[User:Camwoodstock|Camwoodstock]] ([[User talk:Camwoodstock|talk]]) 14:46, April 28, 2023 (EDT) | |||
:Hey. I never gave the code a license, so it befalls under the wiki's standard CC BY SA 3.0. Even if I did bother to add a license I'd probably pick that. So just be sure to give proper attribution, and knock yourself out! The engine is slightly glitchy here and there, since I never had time to iron out the kinks, but it should be pretty well-documented and organized. If you come up with any improvements, please let me know so I can backport them to Pikcross. — '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 10:35, April 29, 2023 (EDT) | |||
== the Vanilla sees == | |||
Yeah, I can understand that, but having those sections labeled as No would be kinda implying that those abilities aren't in the game which would be misleading. hence why I added links to the relevent articles (which took me awhile to figure out how to do). was kinda meant to be more accurate then possibly implying said abilities debuted in 4 with the upgrade.[[User:Pikmin Theories|Pikmin Theories]] ([[User talk:Pikmin Theories|talk]]) 20:21, August 21, 2023 (EDT) | |||
:Then I'd say that, in the table, the way we describe "same but different-named" abilities, or the way you want to describe "it's a vanilla feature", or both, has to change. Can't quite think of the best way off the top of my head. — '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 11:06, August 22, 2023 (EDT) | |||
::Only thing I can think of is adding like a cite I think? (little number like a squared) or an asterisc, I think that's what it's called * saying it's a basic feauture in said games. Though I dunno, without reference to what said ability is feels worse somehow..... [[User:Pikmin Theories|Pikmin Theories]] ([[User talk:Pikmin Theories|talk]]) 23:20, August 27, 2023 (EDT) | |||
:::We can well document both things in the table. I think the only problem might be to find text that's short enough. "No, but a similar upgrade called '''X''' exists" and "No, but the feature exists by default" work to document the table well, but they're both very long. — '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 04:03, August 29, 2023 (EDT) | |||
Dunno if it'd be possible or how it'd be done, but what about having the No, but have the No be clickable to link to the proper page/sections? [[User:Pikmin Theories|Pikmin Theories]] ([[User talk:Pikmin Theories|talk]]) 03:42, November 16, 2023 (EST) | |||
==Rename== | |||

::I meant the rename log, so apparently this wiki has a rename thing? I saw there many users on this log, which their user pages were renamed to another title by... You? {{User:Darryl Omg/sig}} | |||
:::Yes, users can request to have their username changed, so those logs are probably what you are seeing. — '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 17:32, March 3, 2024 (EST) | |||
Yep, that was why I said "I'll suppose its like as in Pikmin Fanon", which I was asking if the way to requestion like from Pikmin Fanon, of requesting on their userpage. If so, then I would choose to me to be renamed to "Blower Pot", following my Pikmin Fanon rename? {{User:Darryl Omg/sig}} | |||
