Trainer Card
If anyone has an objection to using my trainer card, feel free to replace the image with Niet's, or something. --Luggs (talk) 06:10, 1 July 2014 (BST)
- I feel using one of the Staff Trainer Cards might provide a poor representation of what a Trainer Card 'can' look like for the typical reader of the Wiki. But could you get a screenshot where your message is something along the lines of "You can put a customized message here" or such? -Zephyr Foxworth (talk) 06:21, 1 July 2014 (BST)
- What I did is I replaced the image with a sample that I found on the User Page article. That should prove a good example. --Luggs (talk) 06:28, 1 July 2014 (BST)
- Wouldn't a Trainer Card image completely devoid of starter Pokémon, T.I.D, etc. should be used instead. I can obtain these but what default Pokémon, gender and other opinion-dependent options should be what? -Lugia101101 (talk) 20:05, 3 July 2014 (BST)
- I disagree. Having these options and information displayed on the image would provide a better example of a real trainer card displayed on-site than a card devoid of such details. -Zephyr Foxworth (talk) 21:10, 3 July 2014 (BST)

Adding different colours of trainer cards and their "Meaning?"
Hey, like this the page seemed to be "merge worthy" with the User Page but maybe instead of an example of one Trainer Card the Front of all Trainer Cards on PFQ can be collected and posted here? Together with the different Shiny Glow maybe? Or maybe only explaining the Shiny Glow? This way I think that it could be left as its own page. --Uzumi (talk) 17:17, 27 August 2014 (BST)
- I don't think you can add so many screen shots in one page, but if we could explain the colour changes, maybe we can do it in point form.

- For the shiny glow, I agree on you. sometimes I just receive PM asking me; Why do you have some yellow glowie on your trainers card? So yeah. I Support this --Goddest (talk) 04:28, 28 August 2014 (BST)
- I actually just wanted to share how an actual empty Trainer Card looks like: It's so empty (Am I even allowed to directly link to it like that?). So in that case they aren't even screenshots. But yeah, they are kinda big and show the same thing over and over again. Hm, anyone else got an opinion on this? (I honestly only wanted to show the empty Trainer Card.) --Uzumi (talk) 14:42, 28 August 2014 (BST)
- Perhaps crop it down to only the top half, and scale it down to a reasonable size so as not to take up too much space? Just an option ;) --Niet the Dark Absol (talk) 15:24, 28 August 2014 (BST)
- I'm with Niet on this one. I think that having the actual trainer card images would be a much more efficient way of showing the different trainer card colors; words just won't do the cards justice. I've made some quick sample tables that can be used to showcase the different cards and the unique staff cards. If we do incorporate the tables into the trainer cards's page, I think it will have enough information to stand on its own. -KingVesper (talk) 20:34, 28 August 2014 (BST)
- Conveniently enough I downloaded all of the Trainer Card images a while ago, still not sure why. If you want I can go crop them and upload them now? Not sure how we would show the glows since it uses CSS, unless we were to create divs and apply the various glows on them? The tables below look good KingVesper. -Lugia101101 (talk) 09:45, 30 August 2014 (BST)

- Note: The Staff Trainer Cards only display the Pokéball used on the card.
The vs Their - I need help.
I was editing the Trainer Card page earlier, and I noticed that when listing the information that was on the trainer cards, it was in a: "the ..." format. (I've been studying grammar for the last few days, and it sounded wrong to me, but I can't be trusted at this point: it's finals week). Basically, here is my argument, quoting the original page:
The front of the Trainer Card
The following information of the user is displayed at the front of the Trainer Card:
The list (A) is defined by, "of the user", which makes it a possessive list. Using "the" would be incorrect as it does not reflect the list's possessive nature. For "the" to be correct (C), the leading sentence would have to read: "The following information is displayed at the front of the Trainer Card". This sentence (C) has another issue, though: the list becomes very vague, only listing off the trainer card's information, without explicitly defining its relationship with the user. The bullets could be changed to (B): "the user's trainer ID ..." and "the user/trainer's rank ...", but doing this for all the bullets becomes extremely repetitive and redundant.
The front of the Trainer Card (A)
The following information of the user is displayed at the front of the Trainer Card:
The front of the Trainer Card (B)
The following information of the user is displayed at the front of the Trainer Card:
The front of the Trainer Card (C)
The following information is displayed at the front of the Trainer Card:
So basically, I do not know what to do with these lists. Each have their problems, but which is worse, and which works best? Am I just way too sleep deprived? Help.
- I like format C. "The following information of the user" sounds wrong to me (doesn't necessarily mean it's grammatically wrong). Saying "the user's [X]" may be repetitive, but it is the most complete and precise forme, and I feel like this is what should be used on a wiki. --Kpwbo (talk) 23:35, 9 December 2014 (GMT)
