Talk:The Portal

From Pikmin Fanon

I just noticed the split request, and to give my thoughts on that: I think the Connection of the Worlds version should probably have its own page, since it seems to be a completely different area only sharing the same name. (At the base of a mountain instead of on an island.) I do feel like the Global Breakdown and Sinister Incinerator versions should share the same page, as they are the exact same area, with the area returning in Global Breakdown. It would be a very short article if the Global Breakdown version had its own page, and seems like it's meant to be part of the same story since they're both games in the Buildup Trilogy. As for my own version, I'm not sure whether it should be its own page or not. Antarctic Survival isn't part of the Buildup Trilogy, and the appearance of The Portal is meant to pay tribute to my favorite Pikmin fangame, so its canonicity is questionable. However, I intend for it to be the exact same area, sharing in the same features and appearance and even having the same cave. (Well, an Antarctic Survival version of the cave.)

Overall, I think it should be done whichever way seems most logical and sensible for the wiki, which would probably mean splitting off the Connection of the Worlds version and potentially the Antarctic Survival version, though I'm again not sure if it should be split since it's intended to be the same area. I think the Global Breakdown version should stay due to it being the same area and part of the same game series. – P4 Bearded Amprat icon.png A Friendly Amprat (Talk | Contribs | Current project)

Well, I just have that there so there's at least an indication that something should be done with the article. Ideally, every game's version of a location should be on a separate article, since area articles with multiple sections for multiple games look messy. ~ Cheepy-Cheepy icon.pngCheepy-Cheepy  14:33, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
I see your point there. Though, we don't treat enemies that way, and it looks fine there because of the enemy article format. Maybe something similar could be done for areas that appear in multiple games. – P4 Bearded Amprat icon.png A Friendly Amprat (Talk | Contribs | Current project)
Eh, maybe. But I'm not so sure. ~ Cheepy-Cheepy icon.pngCheepy-Cheepy  14:51, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
