From Pikmin Fanon

Hey, Salem!

Hello, Salem, and welcome to Pikmin Fanon, the wiki where you can share your ideas about the Pikmin series! There's a lot to do around here, so we hope you'll stay and continue to edit the wiki. Please remember to sign in so you can edit and we can recognize you and your contributions. Before you begin editing, you should read Pikmin Fanon's policies and guidelines, and if you are new to wikis, check out the editing help page. The following links are to help familiarize you with some of the intricacies of our wiki. We hope you have a great time here and stay around for a while!

Useful links

Hey there! I've seen you been making a few constructive edits, and that's great! But you've also made some edits that may make some people unhappy. That's okay for now, though, since you're new here, and because the rules and guidelines and such haven't been updated for some time, so I'll give you a free pass on those. Based on your edits so far, I would assume that you wish to make your own version of Pikmin 4. Seeing as that title has already been taken, you may want to name your game Pikmin 4 (Salem version), or something to that effect. I would also recommend you create articles that have more information than a single sentence, or in the case of the Indigo Pikmin article, a single infobox. If you have any questions whatsoever, please contact me to let me know--I'll be happy to help! That's all I had to say for now. Welcome to the Pikmin Fanon, and have a wonderful day. ~ Cheepy-Cheepy icon.pngCheepy-Cheepy 

New enemies

Hey, I'll keep fixing up the enemy pictures and icons you upload as well as the articles you make so long as you'll keep them coming. Some of those enemy concepts seem like they could be pretty awesome. Sorry if it's gotten annoying, I just want to make the images not take up as much space as they have been (as well as making the icons consistent), and I want the articles to have at least some information in them. ~ Cheepy-Cheepy icon.pngCheepy-Cheepy 


You can edit your user page like it were any other article, by using the "edit" function. ~ Cheepy-Cheepy icon.pngCheepy-Cheepy 

Edit: Ohhh, I see what you were trying to do. Yeah, you don't have to dress up your user page like I have. You can type a little bit about yourself, but don't include any personal information like your age or your location. You can also talk about your favorite Pikmin type, your favorite enemy or boss, your favorite character, your favorite games or music, your fanon game, or so on. You don't have to talk about those things on your user page if you don't want to, of course, I'm just giving you some ideas. You can also include some userboxes if you want to personalize your page a little more. Just be sure to contain them in the {{userboxtop}} and {{userboxbottom}} templates so your userboxes aren't all over the place. ~ Cheepy-Cheepy icon.pngCheepy-Cheepy 

Re:Game Flaw

Yeah, sorry about that. With the Frigid Bulblax being a boss, I figured the page should have more detail than what was there already. I assumed the boss was large, judging by its carry weight of eighteen, so I thought Yellow Pikmin or a similar Pikmin would be necessary to hit its eyes. But now that I know that I know it is in your game and that Yellow Pikmin wouldn't have been discovered yet, there's no point in that information. It may help to create a page for your game so people can know more about it. Oh, and be sure to use the "show preview" button next to the "save changes" button so you don't make several changes to a page at once. ~ Cheepy-Cheepy icon.pngCheepy-Cheepy 

Re:Profile Professional

Your profile page doesn't have to be anything special. A profile can be as barebones as a single sentence about the user it belongs to. I explained this in a bit more detail in the message above the "game flaw" section, I just don't feel like typing everything out again. ~ Cheepy-Cheepy icon.pngCheepy-Cheepy 


Please learn to start using the "show preview" button when editing. You're flooding the recent changes page with dozens of small changes. ~ Cheepy-Cheepy icon.pngCheepy-Cheepy 

Re: I'm on the floor wasting away

Sorry, I decided to take a short break from the Fanon for a few days to do other things. I'll be back to it before you know it. ~ Cheepy-Cheepy icon.pngCheepy-Cheepy 

Helpful tool

Hello. While editing, I suggest using the "show preview" button at the bottom of the page. This allows you to see how your page will look before you save it. That way, if you need to add more or make alternate changes, it can be done without saving. This has been mentioned before. It helps manage changes better in page histories, and also helps server data space. Thanks! Trig - 05:23, 3 January 2021 (UTC)

Re:Did what you asked

Thank you! Now you can see how useful a tool "show preview" can be. The Jellyborb does look interesting, mind detailing it more so readers can know what it does? ~ Cheepy-Cheepy icon.pngCheepy-Cheepy 


Information yellow.png This is a warning to stop your inappropriate behavior of deleting messages from other users' talk pages. Salem, please adhere to the rules, or you will be blocked from editing.

I let it slide when you deleted messages from Sapphire7's talk page because the messages were so minor, but now that you went into my talk page and deleted my response to your message (for the second time), I have to take action. If you delete this warning, I'll give you a second warning, and if you delete that warning, I'll block you from editing for a week. Deleting warnings is against the rules, anyhow. Do not delete messages from your own talk page, and especially someone else's talk page.

As for your Raisin Breadbug idea, I'll think about it. I'm not exactly working on Pikmin: Attack of the Breadbugs anymore, though. ~ Cheepy-Cheepy icon.pngCheepy-Cheepy 

Look at this

Hey what do u think about this picture I drew ~ Salem

Zombmin wave 1.png

I think it looks awesome! Zombies are really cool. It may or may not be a bit too graphic for some people, though, so don't be surprised if another staff member says something to you about it. ~ Cheepy-Cheepy icon.pngCheepy-Cheepy 

Re:8 minute race

You do know you can't expect a single person to look after each and every one of your articles, right? Especially me, since there's so much to fix already on the wiki. Sorry. ~ Cheepy-Cheepy icon.pngCheepy-Cheepy 

That's still very demanding. Many of the pages you created could use much more detail, as they have either one sentence or no sentences at all. Information that is present outside of infoboxes is often lacking in important details. Also, please remember to sign your messages with ~~~~. ~ Cheepy-Cheepy icon.pngCheepy-Cheepy 

Show preview

Just giving you a friendly reminder to use the "show preview" button while editing your work, so you can fix any mistakes you've made in your writing and not flood the recent changes page doing so. ~ Cheepy-Cheepy icon.pngCheepy-Cheepy 

Re:Where am I...

Welcome back! ~ Cheepy-Cheepy icon.pngCheepy-Cheepy 


I know I sound like a broken record at this point, but please start using the "show preview" button while editing. It helps reduce edit spam, and it's overall superior to just saving changes, editing, saving changes, editing, and so on. You're not in trouble, this is just a friendly reminder to use the editing tools provided to you. ~ Cheepy-Cheepy icon.pngCheepy-Cheepy 

Return of The King

Wraith is back! He's returned! He's even made multiple edits! I'm MintyMoron64 icon.pngMintyMoron64, and I like the Foundation Dweevil!

C'mon, I'm like a prince at best. ;) Hey Salem, I'm Wraith! Nice to meet you! ZoadraZoadra icon.pngAdmin, Bureaucrat 18:15, 22 June 2021 (UTC)

Nice to Meet you

Nice to meet you Wraith I’m Salem ~ Salem

Raisin Breadbug

I finally wrote its article! Check it out! Thought it might make your day. ~ Cheepy-Cheepy icon.pngCheepy-Cheepy 

High Noon

Wait what? Why is the Drawing Contest being deleted? Cheepy himself stated that it was pretty much fine if other people's art was done as well at a later time and if it was moved to the "topic" namespace, I just asked Wraith and he likes the idea, and I would absolutely love to participate! Basically the only problem is that basically nobody is active, and even then Wraith is working on that problem right now as it is a problem for the continued use of the entire site! I'm certain that people would love this contest, so please reconsider your decision. I'm MintyMoron64 icon.pngMintyMoron64, and I like the Foundation Dweevil!

Sorry

I’m sorry if it was deleted it’s just because nobody was participating and I had to shut it down I know you’re sad cyan piklord it’s just I dunno how to say this maybe because it’s getting slow here at the pikmin fanon ~ Salem

Actually it wasn't deleted it was just moved into "topic" :) . I hope to be able to participate soon! I'm MintyMoron64 icon.pngMintyMoron64, and I like the Foundation Dweevil!

Yes, I did make it into a forum topic. And to reiterate, Salem, I do feel bad about how rude I was in my first comment, and your contest is by all means perfectly allowed. Activity on the wiki ground to a halt because of school coming back and people realizing just how much work must be put into developing a fanon game. Even my incessant editing of others' works is probably another reason for it, haha. ~ Cheepy-Cheepy icon.pngCheepy-Cheepy 

Final bosses

Not sure if you noticed this yourself or if this was intentional, but Pikmin 5: Adventure Awaits has two final bosses, the Dark Wraith and Mecha-Louie. Figured I'd check in to see what was up. ~ Cheepy-Cheepy icon.pngCheepy-Cheepy 

Re:Have You Seen This Man

I've just been taking a little break from the wiki is all. It'll probably be month-long. I have other things and projects I want to focus on currently, but the biggest reason I'm taking a break is that I fell into the mindset of "needing" to work on the Pikmin Fanon rather than "wanting" to. ~ Cheepy-Cheepy icon.pngCheepy-Cheepy 

Re:It’s been a while

Welcome back! ~ Cheepy-Cheepy icon.pngCheepy-Cheepy 

Re:Artwork

OH MY GOD SALEM, that's so nice of you! I never expected this! It really is cool of you that you'd take time out of your day, or more likely at least two, to draw this for me, completely unprompted and without me asking you! Thank you so, so much. You have really outdone yourself on this one. Thank you. I'm MintyMoron64 icon.pngMintyMoron64, and I like the Foundation Dweevil!

Frigid Bulblax

Hello Salem, I just wanted to let you know we typically don't upload files to the wiki unless we have a page that features them, so I would suggest putting it on the Frigid Bulblax page. Thanks! ZoadraZoadra icon.pngAdmin, Bureaucrat 14:33, 9 December 2021 (UTC)This actually doesn't apply, I was in error. You actually can upload unused files. Nevermind. ZoadraZoadra icon.pngAdmin, Bureaucrat 15:53, 9 December 2021 (UTC)

Re:A Long Long Long Reeeeaaaaaallllly long break

Sounds good, Salem. Take care! ~ Cheepy-Cheepy icon.pngCheepy-Cheepy 

Green Slime

You could've kept it as part of the slime family in your game, I just categorized it as an enemy with no known family because I didn't feel like making a family category I thought wouldn't get much use. ~ Cheepy-Cheepy icon.pngCheepy-Cheepy 

Re:Hey

Ahoy! ~ Cheepy-Cheepy icon.pngCheepy-Cheepy  02:11, 4 July 2022 (UTC)

Discord

Hey, we have a Discord server if you wanna join! It'd be easier to access than PF, especially on mobile, and it isn't as cumbersome as these talk pages. I'm MintyMoron64 icon.pngMintyMoron64, and I like the Foundation Dweevil!

Re:So yeah I made this

Gruesome, but the Family Guy death pose is funny. ~ Cheepy-Cheepy icon.pngCheepy-Cheepy  14:21, 10 September 2022 (UTC)

Re:Some Concepts I made

Those are neat! Good work. The Ice Cold Victory is my favorite of the two. ~ Cheepy-Cheepy icon.pngCheepy-Cheepy  12:13, 19 September 2022 (UTC)

Re:Quick Message

...Why, though? ~ Cheepy-Cheepy icon.pngCheepy-Cheepy  02:14, 18 October 2022 (UTC)

Re:Hmmmm

Alright, well, pick only one account to use, because it's against policy to have more than one. And if you didn't know, you can request to have your username changed. ~ Cheepy-Cheepy icon.pngCheepy-Cheepy  14:38, 21 October 2022 (UTC)

Orientation userboxes

Regarding your comment on your userpage about you being bisexual, there won't be any userboxes regarding sexual orientation. Sexual orientations aren't very important, or appropriate, to mention on Pikmin Fanon. ~ Cheepy-Cheepy icon.pngCheepy-Cheepy  15:01, 8 December 2022 (UTC)

Re:Some Pikmin Concepts I made

Whoa, those are awesome! I think my favorite of them is the Flutter Pikmin, but I do like the Lychee Pikmin's coloration. The Coffee Pikmin looks like the one Pikmin Nintendo had in mind for Pikmin 3. ~ Cheepy-Cheepy icon.pngCheepy-Cheepy  21:29, 10 February 2023 (UTC)

Master flower rank

I saw you gave yourself master flower rank a little bit ago, which you're not eligible for just yet. While you have made over 1,000 contributions to the wiki, 1,085 at the time of my writing this to be exact, and have more than enough sections on your talk page, you do not have a talk page archive, not that the number of messages on your current talk page would warrant making one, and your games tend to be only somewhat detailed. To elaborate, your version of Pikmin 4 does go into a bit of detail about some of the things appearing in it, including having a Piklopedia, but its main page is lacking substantially in content. In contrast, Pikmin 5: Adventure Awaits has a lot to look at on its main page, but doesn't have as many details on individual pages pertaining to it. Pikmin Reloaded is so-so, having a decent amount of information on its front page but not much detail on individual pages. There are also a few much less detailed game ideas you've come up with that haven't been worked on much at all aside from one or two things appearing in them. Not to mention, to get master flower rank, you must ask someone who has that rank or higher for it. That said, you do more than qualify for flower rank, so congratulations on earning it! ~ Cheepy-Cheepy icon.pngCheepy-Cheepy  13:10, 3 April 2023 (UTC)

Re:Updated Pikmin Designs + Added New Pikmin

Those all look great! I think my favorite of the six is either the Snapdragon Pikmin or the redesigned Green Pikmin. ~ Cheepy-Cheepy icon.pngCheepy-Cheepy  12:51, 28 July 2023 (UTC)

Blue poison?

Well, at least one of your updated images show its attack, which we see the poison as... Blue. PA Greater Bladed Beeb icon.pngBlower Pot Talk | Contributions | Fanon game

Me again, about you "templates"

While they look cool i think they aren't that needed, or they are...? Well, i mean that you could have put those in a template, possibly putting the images for each enemy and stuffs. Though i like how each page has their own image. PA Greater Bladed Beeb icon.pngBlower Pot Talk | Contributions | Fanon game 05:39, 9 November 2023 (UTC)

Taking King Boo as example i instead put those in a gallery on your fanon game. So yeah sorry. PA Greater Bladed Beeb icon.pngBlower Pot Talk | Contributions | Fanon game 05:39, 9 November 2023 (UTC)

Well, the problem I have with the extinction box is that it doesn't look great on the page. Don't get me wrong, the box itself looks great! But another thing I'd like to avoid is people seeing your extinction box and then doing their own, which just adds even more clutter to a page. If you're going to remove something from your game, make its section into a user version instead. And if you really want your extinction box to stay, you can put it on your userpage in some way. ~ Cheepy-Cheepy icon.pngCheepy-Cheepy  13:46, 9 November 2023 (UTC)
