Pages we need

Hey, what templates are we in need of? I'll gladly make some. I imagine we need a "mark for deletion" template, but do we still need one for spoilers? --Uni talk 04:14, 15 February 2014 (GMT)

From looking around at other wikis, I say we need these templates:
  • Stub (Add more content to page)
  • Deletion (Get rid of this page)
  • Merge (Combine page with another)
  • Split (Break page into separate pages)
  • Cleanup (Rearrange article)
  • Disambiguation (Contains articles that share names)
  • Spoiler (Article that has secret information)
This is just marker templates. We'll still need infobox and categorization templates, but I'm not as knowledgeable about those. --Aipom14 (talk) 06:21, 15 February 2014 (GMT)
Can do. Uni talk 18:20, 17 February 2014 (GMT)

Well this certainly needs an overhaul. Anyone good with code? We can certainly have the main page edited to be more appealing to the eye. --Constantine (talk) 20:49, 28 June 2014 (BST)

I can code but I can't design. If someone makes it on paint or even paper with colour co-ordination I can do it. -Lugia101101 (talk)

Do we need a page on Pokémon themselves? I've seen it linked on different pages, and it might help to explain what Pokémon are, and categorize them based on evolution stage or rarity or some other factor. Plus it might be a help to anyone coming to the site without knowledge of the actual Pokémon franchise. --Peridot Prior (talk) 15:37, 30 June 2014 (BST)

That sounds like a good idea. I'm not sure if we need to list every Pokemon, though; that might count as a spoiler. Just include general information about them. The PF wiki had a page for Pokemon here, for reference. --Aipom14 (talk) 06:21, 15 February 2014 (GMT)

As has been mentioned before, spoilers are okay here provided they are tagged as such correctly. --Niet the Dark Absol (talk) 18:33, 30 June 2014 (BST)

Page has been created, though it still needs some work. Thanks for your input, guys. --Peridot Prior (talk) 18:39, 30 June 2014 (BST)

File-name format

It has come to my attention that the naming conventions used throughout this wiki are appalling (to my standards). So, I propose a format, for all file names to adhere to. I personally prefer a basic "Type_Name_Extra" format, an example being File:Egg_Bulbasaur.png or File:Pokémon_Arceus.png, but things like File:Megaring.png and File:493.png (previously an image of Arceus' egg sprite) are named in such a way that I would be unable to simply type in the name, and would have to manually look for the file I wished to add to a page. Comments, concerns, suggestions? -Lugia101101 (talk) 13:35, 22 August 2014 (BST)

I thought I replied to this when you first posted it, sorry about that. I cannot tell you the amount of time I have spent searching through image categories, looking for files with appalling names, only to have to upload something myself. This new naming format sounds very efficient and simple to use; I think it's great! You have my full support. -KingVesper (talk) 06:48, 14 September 2014 (BST)
