Revision as of 18:54, 30 August 2006

Some Bulbapedia members have formed a project to better organize efforts to write and improve articles about towns and cities in the Pokémon world. If you would like to help, please inquire on the talk page or the Bulbapedia forum and see the Bulbapedia:Project Cities and Towns/To-do list. You can also sign up below.

Project Cities and Towns

Scope and aims

Project Cities and Towns covers all articles about towns and cities in the Pokémon world.

The ultimate goal is to create and standardize articles for every city and town that has been featured in the Pokémon games. This project covers every town in the regions of Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, and the Sevii Islands. Currently, this does not include anime-exclusive locales.

Participants

How you can help

You can help by opening the List of cities and towns by name and selecting any location in red (which means that there is no article for it yet) and starting that article, or opening any location that you can provide more information about. Additionally, the list itself needs expanding.

Most of the existing city/town articles need to be modified to comply with the project standard (see below). You can check Category:City and town stubs to see which articles need expanding.

Bulbapedia:Project Cities and Towns/To-do list

Structure

To be determined at a later date after examining the existing articles and determining the best layout.

Goals

  1. To organize, standardize, and expand the articles on cities and towns in the Pokémon world.

List

The list page for Project Routes is List of cities and towns by name.

Infobox

The Infobox to use for this project is Infobox town.

This is the basic syntax you need to get a complete infobox on the article page, just place this before any other text and fill in the variables. 

{{Infobox town
|town=
|characters=
|japanese=
|image=
|slogan=
|region=
|routes=
|bottom=
|leader=
|badge=
|type=
|map=
|colordark=
|colorlight=
}}

Template:Infobox town For the above parameters, here's what you should fill in:

  • town: is the name of the town/city/locale
  • characters: is the city name in Japanese characters
  • japanese: is the city name in Japanese
  • image: is the name of the image file name at Bulbagarden Archives
  • slogan: is the official slogan of the town/city/locale
  • region: is the region that the town/city/locale is in
  • routes: is a list of the routes that lead from this area
  • bottom: is either "Gym" for areas with Gyms or "none" if there is no gym
  • leader: (For bottom=gym only) is the name of the area's Gym Leader
  • badge: (For bottom=gym only) is the name of the Gym's badge
  • type: (For bottom=gym only) is the main type of the Gym
  • map: is the name of the image file name of the overview map at Bulbagarden Archives. If no map is available, leave blank
  • colordark: is the color used for the main header of the infobox. Should reflect the town's name, type, etc.
  • colorlight: is the color used for the subheaders of the infobox. Should be a lighter version of the first color

By completing the infobox as follows, you'll get a routebox like the one to the right. 

{{Infobox town
|town=Celadon City
|characters=タマムシシティ
|japanese=Tamamushi City
|image=Celdaoncity-frlg.png
|slogan=The City of Rainbow Dreams
