PikminFanon:Taxonomy Project: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 06:13, 18 April 2021

This page contains information relating to Pikmin Fanon's community.

Taxonomy Project
This page relates to the Taxonomy Project and shows a listing of different taxa. The canonicity of this page is disputable.

The Taxonomy Project is an effort initiated by Wraith to further classify the myriad creatures of the Pikmin Planet. It is based upon the real-life taxonomy system developed by Carl Linnaeus called binomial nomenclature. Currently only canonical creatures are officially classified, however, fanon lifeforms may be unofficially classified by their creator. All classifications above family are conjecture by various editors here.

Usage

Enemies that appear in Pikmin 1, Pikmin 2, Pikmin 3, and Hey! Pikmin will be divided these groups, which are simplified from their real-life counterparts:

Kingdom

Four kingdoms will be used: Animalia, animals; Plantae, vegetation; Fungi, mushrooms; and Therobotania, plant-animal hybrids. Some exceptions can be made with creatures such as the Goolix.

Phylum

Phylum is the next division. Phylums should be quite general. More than one family should be found in most phylums.

Class

Class is a major division and should be more specific. Most classes should have more than one family.

Order

Order is used as an extra field to sort major differences between species. Listing order is not required.

Family

Family is canonically provided. It is a group of similar lifeforms a creature belongs in.

Genus

Genus is the first word in the scientific name of each creature.

Species

Species is the second word of the scientific name and is completely unique for all animals. Listing it is not necessary.

Details

The family, genus, and species of a creature are considered canonical and are classified already by Captain Olimar, and Alph, Brittany, and Charlie. All that must be done is placing enemies into taxonomic categories. A creature's order is not required. The kingdom, phylum, and class of a creature are all considered fanonical, or fan-made. A dedicated infobox template exists for this project, and is to be placed directly under an enemy infobox or Pikmin infobox.

 ==Usage==
+Enemies that appear in {{p1}}, {{p2}}, {{p3}}, and {{hp}} will be divided these groups, which are simplified from their real-life counterparts:
-The Canon enemies of Pikmin 1 and 2 will be divided into a simplified version of the groups:
 ===Kingdom===
+Four kingdoms will be used: [[PikminFanon:Taxonomy Project/Animalia|Animalia]], animals; [[PikminFanon:Taxonomy Project/Plantae|Plantae]], vegetation; [[PikminFanon:Taxonomy Project/Fungi|Fungi]], mushrooms; and [[PikminFanon:Taxonomy Project/Therobotania|Therobotania]], plant-animal hybrids. Some exceptions can be made with creatures such as the [[Goolix]].
-Five kingdoms will be used, Animalia, Plantae, Fungi, and Therobotania. Some exceptions can be made with things such as the [[Goolix]].
 ===Phylum===
+Phylum is the next division. Phylums should be quite general. More than one family should be found in most phylums.
-The Phylum is the next smaller division. Phylums should be quite general. More than one family should be found in most phylums.
 ===Class===
+Class is a major division and should be more specific. Most classes should have more than one family.
-The class is a major division, and should be less generalized. Most classes should have more than one family.
 ===Order===
+Order is used as an extra field to sort major differences between species. Listing order is not required.
-Orders are generally used as an extra spot to sort out major differences. Listing an order is not required.
 ===Family===
+Family is canonically provided. It is a group of similar lifeforms a creature belongs in.
-The family is already listed, so this is easy.
 ===Genus===
+Genus is the first word in the scientific name of each creature.
-This is another easy thing, because the Genus is just the first word in the Scientific Name of each animal.
 ===Species===
+Species is the second word of the scientific name and is completely unique for all animals. Listing it is not necessary.
-The species itself is the second word of the scientific name, but is completely unique for all animals, with the exception of the three Spotty Bulborbs, and does not usually need to be listed.
 ==Details==
+The family, genus, and species of a creature are considered canonical and are classified already by [[Captain Olimar]], and [[Alph]], [[Brittany]], and [[Charlie]]. All that must be done is placing enemies into taxonomic categories. A creature's order is not required. The kingdom, phylum, and class of a creature are all considered fanonical, or fan-made. A dedicated [[Template:Infobox taxonomy|infobox template]] exists for this project, and is to be placed directly under an [[Template:Infobox enemy|enemy infobox]] or [[Template:Infobox Pikmin|Pikmin infobox]].
-The Species, Family and Genus are considered "Canon" and are classified already by Olimar. All we have to do is list the Enemy into these categories. The Order is not required. The Kingdom, Phylum, and Class are all going to be considered "Fanon". [[Template:Taxa|A template]] exists for this project, and is to be placed directly under the Enemy Infobox.

-==Fanon Variant==
-The [[Template:FanonTaxa|Fanon variant of the Taxa]] is used by the creator of a fanon lifeform to classify it. Since the description and images of these lifeforms can make it hard to classify it will be optional to classify fanon lifeforms, and as such they will not officially be considered part of the Taxonomy Project.
-==Breakdown List==
-===Kingdoms===
-*[[Animalia]] (Animals)
-*[[Plantae]] (Plants)
-*[[Therobotania]] (Share animal and plant characteristics) <!--In real classification species in this kingdom would be protists, but, then again, anything that fits into no other kingdom is a protist. Anyhow-The number of these creatures on the pikmin is large enough that I added it in.-It doesn't seem right to put so large a number of organisms into the "doesn't fit in any other category" category.-->
-*[[Fungi]]
-===Phylums===
-*[[Insettocrustia]]
-*[[Phytokine]]
-*[[Cannicus]]
