Useful links

Welcome to the Pikmin Fanon! You seem to have a good grasp of article formatting already, which is excellent. Happy editing! ~ Cheepy-Cheepy

By the way, the setup you've been using for pages is a special case for the Green, Orange, and Black Pikmin articles, and isn't necessary on others. Also, please do not edit the scientific names of enemies and such, no matter if they are fanon or canon. I know some are erroneous, but they should not be edited unless they're your own. ~ Cheepy-Cheepy

(I don't think I've done anything with the Black one, however I do have a Black Pikmin myself, and agree that you can edit the scientific names back to normal at will. I might publish mine later.) - MPA^(Talk)

You haven't yet, I just mentioned it because it's one of the three Pikmin types with articles laid out like those of Orange and Green Pikmin. Sounds good! ~ Cheepy-Cheepy

(Also I've posted pics of all my other Pikmin that are currently in my vector artstyle. Care to crop and put them on pages?) - MPA^(Talk)

(EXCUSE ME, I ACCIDENTALLY PUT THE BOMB ROCK PIKMIN ON THE BLACK PIKMIN (MISCELLANEOUS) PAGE! I REMOVED IT AND WILL SWAP IT TO THE OTHER PAGE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!)

Already done! And heh, I noticed that. ~ Cheepy-Cheepy

(So, I got a Purple Pikmin for a captcha, and I typed "Purple" correctly, but it failed somehow. Why?) - MPA^(Talk)

I'm not sure. If I remember correctly, there's a typo, but nobody's bothered to fix it for whatever reason. ~ Cheepy-Cheepy

File updating

Just so you know, when you upload a new version of a file, chances are that it won't immediately update. ~ Cheepy-Cheepy

Request

I could do it, unless you're asking for a render. I'm Minty Moron 64, and I like the Foundation Dweevil!

Scruffy's been inactive on the Pikmin Fanon for a very long time because he's very busy with his life. I'm not sure when he'll get back to you about your request. ~ Cheepy-Cheepy

Ok guys, I probably don't need a render, but make it as close to the official designs as possible. - MPA^(Talk)

Re:I need some help

Welcome back! There's tons of content you could make, so I can't really suggest one single thing. You could make a game, which you did, and you can make new Pikmin, characters enemies, vegetation, items, and more. If you want to create new canon-based enemy variants, Pikmin 3's and especially Hey! Pikmin's enemies could use the treatment. ~ Cheepy-Cheepy

Technically I did also make a Pikmin, that being my variant of the Lime Pikmin, and I was thinking of making a custom Bulborb character cuz why not. - MPA^(Talk)

Well, you've made a few different Pikmin, haha. And I'd like to see your bulborb character when you make an article about it! ~ Cheepy-Cheepy

I can't really draw bulborbs, but just gonna say his body is azure with orange spots that can light up to produce sounds. These can be of different notes, and his snout is shaped more like that of a Whiptongue Bulborb's. His teeth can only be seen when he opens his mouth, and his name is Musical Bulborb. (Also I need you to make some templates for me, like an agender one, and for people who like PvZ. Okay?) - MPA^(Talk)

You could write the article awhile. Sounds like an interesting concept! And I'll make those userboxes for you. Also, unless you want the old Lofty Sheargrub pictures to be retained to show off their old design, could you upload the updated design as a revision of the existing files? ~ Cheepy-Cheepy

Guess I'll keep them. - MPA^(Talk)

The userboxes are done. Enjoy! ~ Cheepy-Cheepy

Thanks! - MPA^(Talk)

Re:Yo man.

Unfortunately, I do not have much time at the moment, apologies. Saint (talk) 15:55, 11 March 2022 (UTC)

Re:Userboxes

While you have brought many unique ideas to the Pikmin Fanon, it's not the most anyone has ever done. Along with many other users, I myself have created many unique ideas, and still have more to come. {{Creative}} is the userbox you're looking for. Also, could you please undo the addition of your notes at the tops of the Winged and Purple Pikmin articles and instead mention your names for them on your user page rather than their pages? Thanks in advance. ~ Cheepy-Cheepy

Yeah, I could do that. - MPA^(Talk)

Re:Need some icons for enemies

Unfortunately, I'm far too busy with, excluding offline activities, cleaning up the wiki. As much as I would like to, I am unable to create custom enemy icons for the time being. The dummy icons must suffice for now. Do know that, over time, I would love for the number of dummy icons on pages to be minimized as much as possible by creating actual icons. The same hope applies to article subjects having illustrations. ~ Cheepy-Cheepy

Re:How do I edit my game template?

Well, {{media}} is merely a placeholder game banner all fanon games lacking an official one should have. You're welcome to make your own by copying and then editing the coding of a fanon game's banner. Also, happy birthday! ~ Cheepy-Cheepy

Judging by the special code used by some ones, I think I should make a (sub)page for something. - MPA^(Talk)

I'd say a subpage isn't necessary. ~ Cheepy-Cheepy

Re:Small question

Truly? Huh, I thought that was fixed, but apparently, it wasn't. I'll bring it up on the Discord server, thanks for letting me know. You should also join it so we can get a hold of one another more easily. Oh, and the cause behind the problem was someone using the wrong character at some point in the list of accepted file types, which conveniently was after png, jpg, and gif, the only file types anyone ever tries to upload. ~ Cheepy-Cheepy

Sorry, I lost my Discord account atleast a year ago... not that I used it that much anymore before that. Also sorry for forgetting to use my sig. - MPA^(Talk)

Ah, I see. And that's fine, mistakes happen. Also, the issue has been fixed, sorry I didn't tell you earlier. ~ Cheepy-Cheepy

Re:Weird glitch

I see. I've had things like that happen during playthroughs of Pikmin 2 plenty of times. You ought to mention your experience on the Fortress of Festivity's talk page on Pikipedia, as they may be interested in knowing about it, even if it does sound like an issue with carrying paths. ~ Cheepy-Cheepy

Yeah I dunked myself in white paint after that happened and now the only thing I can do is scream "EGGSHELLS", don't worry I can still type though - MPA^(Talk)

Vector graphics

Why do you use svgs for your drawings rather than pngs? ~ Cheepy-Cheepy

It's easier for me to make them, and because Scratch only has a 480x360 canvas all my pngs are heckin' low res. - MPA^(Talk)

Ah, I see. If you're able to get it, I would strongly recommend downloading paint.net. It's a free yet powerful image editing program that I use. Your canvases can be of virtually any size, and saving files in different formats is quick and simple. ~ Cheepy-Cheepy

I do have paint.net, though I rarely use it, and I often make horrible lines in it, as vector lines are way easier to curve correctly. - MPA^(Talk)

You are able to make curved lines, although there are only four anchor points, including the start and end of a line. ~ Cheepy-Cheepy '

Yeah but that's way too hard for me - MPA^(Talk)

Re:I confusion

Nah, just my favorite animatronic. I do like protogens, though. ~ Cheepy-Cheepy

WAIT ARE YOU IN THE PROTO COMMUNITY TOO 8| - MPA^(Talk)

No, I just like the way they look. ~ Cheepy-Cheepy 17:25, 30 May 2022 (UTC)

Re:Whoops!

Ah, you're right. My mistake. Despite knowing that, I still put it in that category anyway. Looks good to me! ~ Cheepy-Cheepy 17:25, 30 May 2022 (UTC)

Re:Yeah

That sounds awful! I hope you're okay now. I don't usually put bandages on cuts I get, even though I really should, but I don't hurt myself often. I just lick at my wounds like an animal, haha. I hope you enjoy the markers and have fun using them! Have a nice break, and take care. ~ Cheepy-Cheepy 17:23, 4 June 2022 (UTC)

Yeah I'm feeling better now, I know there's a reason why wounds shouldn't be licked (I'm talking about pets AND humans). Also the new markers have basically every color I need right now, and the cut has already formed a full scab. Whatever (time of) day or month it is where you are, I hope you have a good time as well! - MPA^(Talk)

Good, and thank you! Also, can you please not mention game-specific information in the family articles? ~ Cheepy-Cheepy 17:52, 4 June 2022 (UTC)

Okay, but where do I put them then? These enemies might not be included in the game anyway and may be just names I made. - MPA^(Talk)

Your sandbox could be an excellent place to put them. I'd like to avoid having extremely specific information in any family articles, both about the family itself and its members. ~ Cheepy-Cheepy

Might do later, also the Nectarous Puffstool and Scatterstool are being moved to the Parasoid family too. - MPA^(Talk)

Sounds good. ~ Cheepy-Cheepy 15:21, 5 June 2022 (UTC)

Why not? I know your current editing software makes it so using svgs is most convenient, but why not want them as pngs or even jpgs? ~ Cheepy-Cheepy 14:05, 6 June 2022 (UTC)

Because smooth. - MPA^(Talk)

The only svgs I've seen that are smooth are ones that have a high resolution. To me, they're visually no different from a png. ~ Cheepy-Cheepy 20:27, 6 June 2022 (UTC)

you just have to zoom in, my svgs are premade smooth - MPA^(Talk)

Lofty Shearglub

I'm sorry, what? A subfamily page? ~ Cheepy-Cheepy 16:02, 10 June 2022 (UTC)

i don't exactly know either it's just that it's in a subfamily, you don't need to make a subpage for it (that's what i meant) - MPA^(Talk)

You mean something like how the grub-dog family page is set up, or how the flint beetle family's page used to be? ~ Cheepy-Cheepy 17:34, 10 June 2022 (UTC)

Ohhh, I see what you mean, now. You can just put the Lofty Shearglub in the mandiblard family's page since it's, well, a mandiblard. ~ Cheepy-Cheepy 17:47, 10 June 2022 (UTC)

Yeah kinda like the Grub-dog page, all the ones with "Sheargrub" will be in one category and "Shearglub" will be in another, I just realized I could do that. Was asleep, sorry. - MPA^(Talk)

I will temporarily add those in until you can fix that. - MPA^(Talk)

Well, the reason the grub-dog family's page is set up that way is because, with the exception of the miscellaneous species, there are so many species in each genus of grub-dog. No other family currently has enough members to merit that. ~ Cheepy-Cheepy 14:13, 11 June 2022 (UTC)

Re:Yeah.

I see. I can't believe how accurate that Wombo Green Pikmin is to the Cyberver'se incarnation! ~ Cheepy-Cheepy 15:05, 13 June 2022 (UTC)

Yeah, the secret was that I drew a sketch of it as quick as I could then left the AI to copy it. Turned out pretty good. - MPA^(Talk)

Re:Something again

I hope you feel better soon. Please make sure to drink lots of water and get plenty of rest. ~ Cheepy-Cheepy 14:07, 23 June 2022 (UTC)

If I could go over there you'd have to prepare yourself for the best omelette I can make. I'm Minty Moron 64, and I like the Foundation Dweevil!

Luckily I didn't feel bad yesterday, everything was fine. The only bother I had was my right shoulder slightly stung a bit since I got the shot there. I've also been working on other stuff. - MPA^(Talk)

Re:Sorry for my inactivity lol

It's okay. Seems like a pretty neat plant, good work on it! ~ Cheepy-Cheepy 15:02, 30 September 2022 (UTC)

Might be moving accounts

felt this one was kinda stupid so i might change my username. see yall on the next one if it happens - MPA^(Talk)

We can just rename your account if you'd like. That way you can avoid having two, which is not allowed. ~ Cheepy-Cheepy 19:28, 8 February 2023 (UTC)

Oh ok, I'd like it to be changed to "Microsoftpaintadventures" - MPA^(Talk)

Alrighty, I'll get to it. ~ Cheepy-Cheepy 21:03, 8 February 2023 (UTC)

Turns out, moving accounts is a little more complicated than I thought. But I have contacted someone with the ability to do so, so we'll see how long it takes. ~ Cheepy-Cheepy 14:37, 9 February 2023 (UTC)
