Alright, so... We've got a big problem going on... Pikipedia is being harmed by Pikmin Wikia. I would like to explain that both can't run at the same time. One is bound to overtake the other due to views and with what we previously started over there... (I don't know if anyone remembers, but we recently moved out of there.) In short, we've already raised the viewings of that site due to our past actions... I can't give the exact history as it was briefly before my time on Pikipedia... Someone else will have to fill in the blanks on that. ANYWAY, the main issue... We've been trying to convince people on the wikia to move on, but we can't they're too stubborn and the don't seem to understand...  This is a bit of a conversation that I was in over there. Now, them being stubborn isn't the huge issue... It's that Wikia's Staff are attacking our admins and attacking the rest of the members that have moved on... We've all gotten a message and short to say... It's not a good one. I'm not saying anyone should attack them, just informing everyone of our dilemma. |

How old are these people? If they are kids they shouldn't be in charge of a wiki.

Ugh. Stubborn wikia staff. They just don't get it. Why can't they respect our wishes to have one unified wiki instead of two? They claim to support people being able to choose, but they are contradicting themselves when they block former admins. We are not forcing the users to leave by any means, rather, we are simply trying to inform them of the situation, and guide them towards a decision, but the staff thinks we forcing the users to leave... Ugh! This makes me so angry! I just hope that when Pikmin 4 rolls around, wikia won't be revived again... That'll be a MASSIVE headache. Hopefully, it doesn't happen...

It seems the current Wikia person in charge is the VP of all Wikia. Sannse, the past lady in charge of Wikia (also a good acquaintance of mine), seems to have been removed from her position. In the past, Wikia Moderators have been the ones to cause issues. However, the Wikia Admins were very alright with us. Now, it seems that A LOT of the original Wikia Admin team is gone, and Sannse is no longer in charge, we may cause issues for us. Sannse did subliminally message me on Wikia about this (long story), but the Admins have decided that we should pull out fully from Wikia. If anyone gets left behind there, so be it. The chunk of folks who are the "hardcore" Pikmin fans already moved (everyone on the Wikia from when Luther, Tommy and I were in charge) to Pikipedia with the thought: "We are the big guys who care A LOT about Pikmin and it's community. Anyone who goes to Wikia after us won't be there long. The Bulborb guy on Wikia doesn't do anything really, and any "devoted" new Wikia members only do a few edits and leave. Aslo, I've noticed a few Trollish folks heading around to older Wikias, a few did hit Pikmin Wikia.
Essentially, we just gotta stop going there, it's killing itself.

Hm... Well, I suppose we could leave it, since it's not really helping us much. I'm still going to check it periodically, in case somebody starts making quality edits. I'm just very concerned about another revival due to Pikmin 4...

Well, I will say the people who do watch our vids on the channel, folks on /r/Pikmin, and a HUGE chunk of folk from Wikia did go to Pikipedia (or stopped using Wikia). When the "Elite 4" (Tommy, Luther, Kevin, and I) were in charge of Wikia, we were getting almost 230K views a month. After we all moved, there was only 61K views per month (and waaay less edits, may I add). When Pikmin4 does come out, as long as we're on the ball with info, images, everything, we should be able to get the Pikmin 4 wave (Usually Wikia will get a bigger chunk, but they get all the folks who THINK they know what to do, when they really don't). Either way, Sm4sh Bros coming out did help, as folks from Smashipedia did offer a little bit of help to us (even with some Brawl stuff!) and I'm pretty sure we got more folks through that.
We just gotta get on the ball with Pikmin 4 as soon as anything is said or shown (which we usually do). That, and I guess work on Pikmin Adventure stuff, we really haven't done much with that.

Hey jpmrocks care to explain any of the history of that wikia when you guys first brought it back? I couldn't in my initial post as I came in shortly after. |

I will eventually, probably with Luther and Tommy, cause they were there before me (technically DazzVideos too)

Almost always there will be different release dates for different regions. And even if PAL is released after NTSC, that doesn't make your edits any less important. With Pikmin 4, we have to get as much information as we can onto the wiki ASAP. I'm going to do my best to contribute as well, instead of just occasionally add info, like I did with Pikmin 3. I love Pikipedia, and I won't allow it to succumb to wikia again.

Uh oh. They've started kicking things up a notch. Now they've been locking and deleting posts relating to the original move and the move from last year. They also deleted Espyo's userpage. This is ridiculous. I hate how they claim they want to promote users' choices, but they'll crush anybody who defies them. This makes me so mad...

They can censor all they want, it won't effect us, as we are the cream of the pikmin fanbase crop. They're written their own grave.
