I just reread [[User talk:CycloneGU#User template|the message from Glik]]; it might have been my error in the reading of that as I now see he advised on the userpage usage.  Even so, as I will be seeking to move the page using the template probably in two days or so (I'm going to trust that the Expert Stage data at [[Pokémon Shuffle]] is accurate), changing all of the references to the userspace version just to change them back in two days seems kind of pointless.  My intention is to leave the template, then speak to someone about moving my project page when I'm done (was going to come to you in fact).  I'm currently at Stage 135 and will probably be finished with my own research in a couple of days.

::::::I've asked Pokemaster97 for permission to carry on this discussion with you in another venue.  I'll let him answer on that here if he wishes, or I can update if I get a reply.  However, I will say for now that there are two things to look at in this matter that I think were in play:
:::::::1. Per the [[Bulbapedia:Talk page policy|talk page policy]], "Removing comments is also prohibited, unless it is spam, content that would be better suited to the Bulbagarden forums, or a reply to a finished conversation older than six months";
:::::::2. The code of conduct may have also been considered.
::::::I've demonstrated that administrators and above can do anything regardless of policy, though I am certain they also have their own internal policies that they must still follow (these I presume, without my knowing for sure, are set by Kogoro or past editors-in-chief or otherwise agreed to within the Editorial Board and are not for general viewing).  In this case, Pokemaster must have considered the comment to be spammy or potentially in violation of the code of conduct (my understanding is that this stems from some time ago).  Therefore, Pokemaster has taken the actions he felt necessary as a bureaucrat.  The only level of appeal above a bureaucrat, I believe, is the editor-in-chief (Kogoro).  If Kogoro agrees with Pokemaster's actions and decisions, then that's the final word; there is no one above that level.
::::::That's all I will say about this for now as I don't think I can explain it any plainer than that.  I'm explaining this as someone who has had experience in a staff capacity at completely different (multiple) venues outside of Bulbapedia and, thus, as someone who can relate to what is happening here.  [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 01:44, 7 April 2015 (UTC)

== Ash's Pikachu ==
Since the other conversation got a little lengthy, I wanted to ask directly to get a feel for where this is going (apologies is this is not preferred).  What is the feeling on natures showing up in the infoboxes for anime and manga Pokémon?  Since, in the case of the anime, they are not brought up at all other than to say every Pokémon can be individually different, I don't think they have a place there as using a game reincarnation of something to "guess" is at best adding unsourced material, so I wanted to get a feel for what the thought is before this goes unprotected tomorrow.  I don't mind noting natures of game representations on the page (and they should be there), but I feel they have nothing to do with the article itself otherwise, including the infobox, and demonstrated this there (using Ash's Scraggy as another example as well).  This could by extension be applied to "guessed" abilities, too.  [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 20:30, 20 May 2015 (UTC)
:I'd rather not say anything definite at this time, as the staff are still considering all the options. I voiced all my ''personal'' opinions on the issue the last time I commented, but can't really speak for all as it has the potential to be a major formatting change. The issue will be a topic during today's staff meeting though.

::No worries, and thanks for updating me on that much.  I can't really say much more (and have already said plenty anyway LOL), so I'll let staff decide which way they prefer and will respect the decision.  May I suggest voicing the thought of splitting Ash's Pikachu article as well much like the other main characters, though?  Pikachu has appeared in virtually every main episode (perhaps saving one or two, but I can't think of them at this time) and every movie, so splitting it with (anime) and (manga) seems beneficial like with other characters.  I'll leave my thoughts at that. =)  [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 21:00, 20 May 2015 (UTC)

== Image Thumbnail Problems? ==
I was involved in trying to help change the infobox image at [[Serena's Braixen]] more than 72 hours ago. It was changed to a new image showing Braixen waving her "wand" (stick) and trailing fire from it. At the image page, the updated image appears.
At the infobox, however, the old image of Serena standing behind the just-evolved Braixen is still in there.  Today, I was curious and attempted to change the image dimensions.  When I changed the size down to 250 and hit Preview, the new image appeared with no problem.  When I went back to 251 and previewed again, the old image was back.  I went and cleared my cache and then tried reloading the page; the old image was still there.  Is something at the Archives end not working?  [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 21:52, 7 June 2015 (UTC)
:...and ironically, Abcboy picked up that it was the wrong width and changed it anyway. LMAO  So problem resolved in this case.  But why was it doing that?  [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 23:11, 7 June 2015 (UTC)
::I'm honestly not sure why it was doing that. I want to say that it was probably the cache being fidgety, but I wouldn't be able to explain any further. I can look into it with some of the other more techy staff members and see if we can dig up anything. '''''[[User:Pokemaster97|<span style="color:Blue;">--Pokemaster</span>]][[User talk:Pokemaster97|<span style="color:Blue;">97</span>]]''''' 03:35, 8 June 2015 (UTC)
:::I'm pretty sure the problem is my end, because Pattyman said that it was showing different pictures on different devices (computer and phone) and later matched on both with the current picture.  So if the thumbnail was correct over there, I must have forgotten or not thought of something over here.  I just don't know what. LOL
:::What makes it confusing is that Internet Explorer (I don't use that, BTW) also brought up the old image.  It was the first time it visited that page.  [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 04:02, 8 June 2015 (UTC)
== Location preview filenames ==
The current ones don't really distinguish them from the maps. I think they should be renamed to '''<location>_<FRLG>_preview.png''' and '''<location>_<HGSS>_preview_<time_period>.png''' for the sake of consistency. HGSS previews used for both day and evening should reflect this in the filename because people might want to collect the previews for themselves and this would make things more accurate. Also, the Burned Tower previews shouldn't call it Brass Tower. [[User:SatoMew2|SatoMew2]] ([[User talk:SatoMew2|talk]]) 13:10, 8 June 2015 (UTC)
:I've passed this along to higher members of the Archives staff to discuss. '''''[[User:Pokemaster97|<span style="color:Blue;">--Pokemaster</span>]][[User talk:Pokemaster97|<span style="color:Blue;">97</span>]]''''' 17:49, 8 June 2015 (UTC)
== New Image Project ==
Got ScriesM's permission to use the spritesheet (which I found out later was compiled from single files anyway, LOL) in the Shuffle pages, and possibly Battle Trozei if we confirm they are identical in most cases.  I am aware of <nowiki>{{Template:MSP}}</nowiki> which is called from other templates to pull the generic mini-sprites; I am currently adding transparency to all of my image pulls, and am about ready to run a test of a few of them in a table format in my sandbox (I apologize, there may be some excessive editing in there today, though I'll try not to).  Once that test is complete, I'll be working on getting them all uploaded over the next day or two.
What I'd like to do is have permission (since I think templates need permission) to create a nearly identical template; the only difference will be what images will be called.  I'd like to put it in mainspace right away while I'm uploading the images to be called by it; as soon as the images are in, they will be pulled by the article when I convert the [[List of Pokémon by Pokémon Shuffle list number|Shuffle list]] over to it in one shot (and then new entries will automatically use them).  I'll create the template with the changed filename noted on it; I'm thinking something like "Tile001", since they aren't exclusive to Shuffle and are kinda like if you picked up a game piece from {{wp|Rummicub}} (which have numbers and other game-related elements on them), but other names might work better and I'm open to suggestion.  The test page will involve a userspace version of the template, and once it's confirmed good and working, the template will be ready for mainspace while I work on the images.  You can track what I'm doing in Recent Changes if you want to for approval purposes rather than my updating here as I'll copy the MSP template shortly for a temporary filename structure, which can be made permanent once we decide on a good name format (at which point we can mainspace it).  [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 20:16, 11 June 2015 (UTC)
:Just to update, the template page has been created.  Haven't uploaded a few more test images yet, asked Pattyman to help make sure everything's kosher and I'll copy it on the other test ones.  They'll later be renamed with all the others to whatever we decide on.  [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 21:16, 11 June 2015 (UTC)
== Curious ==
Is the EB going to be looking at [[User:Abcboy/Puerto Blanco|this]] and all of the other pages associated with this soon?  I have them dressed up and ready to go (despite them being Abcboy's space, I created many of them and edited some of the content in a way that only appears on that version, not on the main Shuffle page), and I even have the template set up to match.  I'm kind of holding back on putting the side games data in until I know for sure whether this is going in or not because I don't want to use one version, then have to go back and edit 260 pages again after the change.  Once this is confirmed either way, I can update Shuffle and all of the other side games I've researched.  This is the delay. =)  [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 18:22, 24 July 2015 (UTC)
:I've been told that it will be discussed during the August meeting next month. '''''[[User:Pokemaster97|<span style="color:Blue;">--Pokemaster</span>]][[User talk:Pokemaster97|<span style="color:Blue;">97</span>]]''''' 00:24, 25 July 2015 (UTC)
::Ah.  Bit of a wait.  I guess what I may do for now is get the ones that are not in Shuffle updated.  The rest can wait.  I'll probably just do a set number daily, anyway, so it wouldn't be a one-day update in any case.  [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 00:48, 25 July 2015 (UTC)
:::Any update yet?  Has the EB met this month?  I'm also noticing a TON of content in the current Escalation Battle (notice the comment I added at [[Pokémon Shuffle]], and that doesn't even include the stage data, only something to try to help identify what stage appears when), so I'm going to probably create a new page just for that under the proposal now.  It's too much for the page it's on right now, even, so having the extra page would let us be completely detailed.  [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 03:42, 18 August 2015 (UTC)
