Hi Espyo, thank you for choosing ShoutWiki to make your wiki.

We would suggest that you start your wiki off by doing these few basic things:
*Upload a logo. You can do this by uploading an image over [[:File:Wiki.png]]. (not available on some skins)
*Design your [[Main Page]]. The main page is likely the first thing users will see. It should be attractive and catch the eye.
*Start building content. All wikis need content to become the best they can be.

If you need help with making a logo, skin or favicon, please see [[s:w:logocreation|ShoutWiki's Logo Creation Wiki]].

If you need any help with building your wiki, feel free to contact [[s:ShoutWiki Staff|ShoutWiki staff]] either via their talk pages or via [[Special:Contact]]. Alternatively, you can talk to us, or other users, via [[s:ShoutWiki Hub:IRC|IRC]].

Thank you again for using ShoutWiki.

Hi! I'm the guy from Pikipedia. I made this knowledge base with the hopes of fixing all of those moments when somebody joins the Pikmin technical scene, but is completely lost. When people find something about how a game's files work, but doesn't share it, it just means that the next person to come along will have to do the same research all over again. This wiki should resolve all of this once and for all.

== Misc. stuff ==
Stumbled upon these pages; think it's probably worth saving them somewhere.

==Active users==
Hello. Can the "active users" on the statistics be edited? Because on the statistics page, it says there are 0 active members, but when I click the actual page, there are 8 active members. It isn't that important, but I'm just wondering. --[[User:Ben|Ben]] ([[User talk:Ben|talk]]) 04:14, 3 December 2018 (UTC)
:Hey. The stats are generated automatically. The number of active users takes a while to update, so it might be wrong by the time you look at it. [[User:Espyo|Espyo]] ([[User talk:Espyo|talk]]) 20:18, 8 December 2018 (UTC)
::Then is there something wrong with it generating automatically? It's been 0 for several months, despite there being several active users at all times. --[[User:Ben|Ben]] ([[User talk:Ben|talk]]) 05:28, 9 December 2018 (UTC)
:::You'd be surprised. There aren't a whole lot of active users at the same time in this wiki. [[User:Espyo|Espyo]] ([[User talk:Espyo|talk]]) 16:41, 15 December 2018 (UTC)

Pikmin Technical Knowledge Base:Guidelines

PawPatroler 2: PawPatroler 2 moved page Pikmin Technical Knowledge Base:Guidelines to User:PawPatroler 2/Guidelines

In order to ensure the comfort of readers and editors, everybody is encouraged to use the following style and formatting guidelines when editing the wiki. They are ''not mandatory'', but highly recommended for the sake of clarity, cleanliness, and consistency.

== Formatting ==
; File names, file paths, hexadecimal values, and internal names should be inside code blocks.
: A file name (e.g. <code>navi.ini</code>), the path to a file (e.g. <code>/dataDir/parms/navi.ini</code>), a hex value (e.g. <code>0x1F</code>), or an internal name (e.g. <code>KoChappy</code>) should all be written inside "code" blocks. To do so, type it as follows: <code><code>text</code></code>. Naturally, be careful not to include commas, quotes, or periods that belong to your sentence inside of these blocks.

; File paths should be like the [[wikipedia:Filesystem Hierarchy Standard|Filesystem Hierarchy Standard]].
: A file path should use forward slashes (<code>/</code>) as the directory separator, and the root of an ISO should start with a forward slash as well.

; Hexadecimal values should start with the hex prefix.
: When writing a hexadecimal value, include the "0x" prefix before it, so it's clear that the number you've shown is in hex format.

; Hexadecimal values should follow the format <code>0x0F</code>.
: This means starting with "0x", and use uppercase for the alpha characters (e.g. <code>0xDC</code> instead of <code>0xdc</code>). Consider adding a leading zero if it looks better, e.g. <code>0x05</code> instead of <code>0x5</code>.

; File formats in prose should be in all uppercase, without a dot.
: e.g. type "PNG file" instead of ".png file". The exception is, of course, unless you're referring to the name of a specific file, in which case you use <code>abc.png</code> as usual.

== Headers ==
; Like Wikipedia, don't capitalize words in article titles or section headers.
: Wikipedia's page on it can be found [[wikipedia:Wikipedia:Naming_conventions_(capitalization)|here]], along with the reasoning.

== Game names ==
; Italicize game names.
: Italicize (i.e. write in <code><nowiki>''italics''</nowiki></code>) the names of games in the series.

; The first game in the franchise is called ''Pikmin''.
: In other words, don't use the term "Pikmin 1".

== Article contents ==
; If the article's title has a game name, italicize it.
: You can change the style of an article's title with the <code><nowiki>{{DISPLAYTITLE}}</nowiki></code> magic word. For instance, for an article called "Pikmin 2 quick notes", you should add <code><nowiki>{{DISPLAYTITLE:''Pikmin 2'' quick notes}}</nowiki></code> at the start.

; All main articles must be in the category of the game(s) they're about, as well as the type of article they are.
: At the end of each article, you should have the categories that it belongs to. To categorize an article, write something like <code><nowiki>[[Category:Pikmin 3]]</nowiki></code> at the end. See [[:Category:Browse]] for the existing types of article.

== Misc. ==
; When in doubt between spellings, use American English.
: Not sure if you should write "colour" or "color"? Doesn't matter much, but for consistency, might as well use the US spelling.

; Don't capitalize words needlessly.
: The term "Pikmin" should always start in uppercase, but everyday terms that aren't proper nouns like "leader" or "cave" shouldn't be capitalized.

; Don't use the terms "NTSC" or "PAL".
: Instead, use "US", "North American", "EU", "European", etc. You can also just refer to the versions by their ID, like <code>GPIP01</code>. The reasoning can be found [https://www.pikminwiki.com/Region#Naming on Pikipedia].

; Don't use the terms "alpha" or "beta".
: Instead, use "early", "prereelase", or "prototype". Again, the reasoning can be found [https://www.pikminwiki.com/Pikipedia:General_content_guidelines#Prerelease on Pikipedia].

Pikmin Technical Knowledge Base:Policies

PawPatroler 2: PawPatroler 2 moved page Pikmin Technical Knowledge Base:Policies to User:PawPatroler 2/Policies

Video game hacking is a touchy subject, so it is important for the wiki to maintain a licit and welcoming environment for everyone. As such, the following policies have been imposed. The rules here apply to every place on this wiki. In general, readers and editors are expected to act in good faith, and work towards building a wiki that helps better understand the inner workings of the ''Pikmin'' games, be it for the purpose of education, entertainment, or custom content creation.

== Destructive edits ==
* '''Spam''': any kind of off-topic, unrelated self-promoting, and unruly behavior will not be tolerated.
* '''Vandalism''': problematic behavior such as excessive deletion/creation of pages, uploading unnecessary files, profanity, and controversial topics are not welcome here.
* '''Harassment''': this wiki is meant to be a safe place. Doxxing, slander, and bullying is under zero tolerance and will warrant a ban from contributing to the wiki.

== Questionable content ==
*'''Copyrighted material''': music, images, videos, and other forms of media, must be properly attributed. Most of what is represented on this wiki is regarded as fair use. This means files uploaded here must follow regulations appropriate by law. In order to help ensure this, users are not to upload content that doesn't constitute as fair use. Ideally, the content should only help the understanding of a technical ''Pikmin'' subject and nothing else.
*'''Hacks and mods''': the Pikmin Technical Knowledge Base is not a place for contributors to advertise their personal projects. Contributors looking to showcase their hacks can do so at [https://www.pikminfanon.com/wiki/Main_Page Pikmin Fanon], in accordance to their regulations. Tools that have been created may be allowed to be posted on the wiki as long as they hold good use and reliability.
*'''Protection of the IP''': nothing on the wiki is to cause harm to the ''Pikmin'' intellectual property in any form. Examples include information that can help readers obtain illegal copies of games, tamper negatively with the experience of other players when unwarranted, or damage the look or sales of the intellectual property.
