If you want to use the cursor at [http://pikmin.wikia.com/wiki/File:Onion2.ico Pikmin Wiki] on your whole computer, here's how you do it.

#Get the cursor.

#*Open up that page, and click on the link that says "Onion2.ico‎", just above the warning (don't worry about the warning).
#*Open [https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/pikmin/images/0/05/Onion2.ico/revision/latest?cb=20140624035509 this link].
#*On your browser, go to a menu that reads something like "File"/"Save" (or just press Ctrl+S), and save the cursor on your computer somewhere. I highly recommend that you save it on the likes of My Documents, and not on the desktop.

:I knew that some people wouldn't be using Windows, it's obvious. But I did this tutorial with Windows users in mind, as they make up the majority. Plus, I wouldn't really know where to start with Mac instructions, as I never even touched one. But there might be guides online; changing cursors is pretty easy. There's a solution for using the cursor only on specific pages. If you're using Firefox or Chrome, you can install custom CSS styles for sites (you might need some addons first). Most modern browsers probably also allow custom CSS in one way or another, regardless of operative system. You can just install a simple style that adds the cursor to any Pikipedia page, pretty much like what Pikmin Wiki has [http://pikmin.wikia.com/wiki/MediaWiki:Wikia.css here] (first 3 lines). I can add a tutorial for that too; that's probably also very easy. — '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 04:55, 25 August 2014 (EDT)

In theory, shouldn't it be possible to add the cursor to the user preferences? Even though I don't use the cursor, it'd probably save a lot of trouble for the users. (It might give GP a headache though... I'm so evil) {{User:PikFan23/sig}} 15:53, 25 August 2014 (EDT)

You all probably noticed I've been merging several pages lately. However, I've left some things behind, without explaining why on the edit summary. I'll explain now.

*The "boss order" template; this was left behind because we need to discuss how and whether or not we're really keeping this.
*<s>The "boss order" template; this was left behind because we need to discuss how and whether or not we're really keeping this.</s> We now have a [[Template:Bosses|boss navbox]].
*Nintendo Player's Guide sections for enemy articles and the like; I left those behind because we have to decide whether we want to put them along the {{tem|notes}} template or not. They'll all be passed to Pikipedia as soon as we figure out what to do.

*Old cave/enemy/treasure/etc. names; I left these behind because we need to follow a more standardized pattern. For one thing, keeping it in Trivia is kind of weird (I feel like the technical info section could work better), and for another, we need to specify where this prototypical name comes from. A trailer? The Japanese version? The old script inside the final P2 ROM? The protoype ROM?

A trailer? The Japanese version? The old script inside the final P2 ROM? The protoype ROM?</s> The policy now encourages the use of these names. They'll be added to the wiki in due time.
*Music used on caves; it's a LOT better to list the songs on the sublevel they're used, now that Pikipedia has a section for each sublevel. Along with it, we still need to decide if we're having full songs or only song snippets, and if we're meant to have these song titles (they're not canon). Once we figure this out, the song lists will be added.

*Cave guides; I left some of these behind, because one of our pre-merge projects was to clean the guides to begin with. Some Pikmin Wiki guides are different, but also need work. So since we're meant to be cleaning up, might as well skip the job of copy-pasting stuff that'll get changed. Still, I apologize if I left some important strategy or such behind.

*Treasure images; I left some behind, some I didn't... I'm not sure, I think we should organize what to do with treasure images, because some have concept art, some have low-res concept art, some have screenshots, ...

*Whether a ship part is visible on the outside of the Dolphin; much like the old name for caves and treasures and such, I think we should keep this out of trivia. I have a good feeling about adding that info to the infobox, but we'll have to discuss it. After we do, we can re-add the info.

*Enemy sizes on infoboxes have different formats between wikis. We need to discuss what's noteworthy, what information is canon, and re-adjust the infobox as to fit the new measures.

In addition, after we're done with the merge, we should check categories like [[:Category:The Forest Navel]] or [[:Category:Submerged Castle]], and compare them to the categories still hosted on Wikia, to make sure we didn't forget to categorize any of them (I think I probably did forget a few). Hope that clears everything up! — '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 10:27, 9 September 2014 (EDT)

== Your question about the Waterwraith. ==
Actually, now I can say, with full confidence and a straight face... "No, the Waterwraith does NOT show up in the arena at Sublevel 5 if you destroyed it in an earlier sublevel." I'll have to answer the question of if it comes back in earlier sublevels after the 5 minutes are up, even if you destroyed the monster in an earlier sublevel.--[[User:TheTruth23|TheTruth23]] ([[User talk:TheTruth23|talk]]) 18:24, 17 October 2015 (EDT)
