PikminFanon:Area article guidelines

|
Area articles should follow the following guidelines.
Opening paragraphs
The opening paragraphs should introduce the readers to what kind of area this is. The following are details that should be included, but not limited to:
- When it is first visited.
- A general description of the area's layout.
- The main theme of the area.
- Types of enemies encountered.
- Its overall difficulty.
- What types of Pikmin are discovered here, if any.
- The number of caves located here and the number of collectibles found, if any.
In addition to the opening paragraphs, there must be an area infobox to the right.
Story
After the opening paragraphs should be a section titled Story. This section explains how the area relates to the story and what happens here.
Layout
This section describes the general layout of the area. If there is a map for the area, it is recommended to put it in this section. If there are multiple maps, put one in this section and the rest in the gallery section.
Caves
If any caves (or similar environments) are found in an area, they should be listed here.
Objects
All the objects in an area (e.g. enemies, treasures, obstacles, etc.) should be listed here. If only one type of object is listed, like enemies, then the section should be called just that object. Otherwise, name this section Objects. Any important objects (e.g. boss enemies, upgrade treasures, etc.) should be bolded.
Optional sections
The following sections are not required, but can be used if you want to make your area article prettier.
Points of interest
Each area has their own points of interest – parts of an area that makes it stand out.
Gallery
If there are any images relating to an area, they should be placed here. Remember to use the <gallery> tags to make a gallery.
Trivia
Any obscure tidbits of information relating to an area should be placed here. The trivia tidbits need to be short and noteworthy, but if they aren't, then they can probably go somewhere else in the article.
End of the article
The bottom of the page should contain an area navbox about the game that the area is in. Also, there must be at least one category at the bottom that isn't automatically created by templates.
