Ash's Pikachu (EToP) & Winona's Altaria

I believe User:Pattyman/Ash's Pikachu (EToP) and User:Pattyman/Winona's Altaria are ready to be checked if they can be placed in the mainspace. The former is an important character in the Electric Tale of Pikachu with Ash's also having the separate article while the latter has been involved in a lot in Pokémon Adventures aside from being Winona's signature Pokémon and appearing in the anime and games.

For Altaria, I'll still mainspace it, but is there any way to make the "In the games" section not stretch the screen, like on Morty's Gengar? I tried to do it myself but I am too dumb with code so I couldn't get it to work so I just left it. --ZestyCactus 04:07, 1 February 2016 (UTC)

I took care of the problem, thanks for letting me know. PattyMan 04:54, 1 February 2016 (UTC)

Thanks! It looks way better now. :) --ZestyCactus 03:18, 2 February 2016 (UTC)

Brav

Is the page User:Rahl/Brav ready to be mainspaced?--Rahl (talk) 13:58, 5 February 2016 (UTC)

It looks pretty legit although I removed some broken file links in the switch cuz I noticed not all the pics in the switch actually had files to display. --ZestyCactus 02:23, 6 February 2016 (UTC)

It's been done. :D --ZestyCactus 06:14, 9 February 2016 (UTC)

New template for the manga sections

Hey! :) How are you tonight? ^~^

I sent a message to Ataro asking him if this template (http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Bulbapedia:Sandbox#Epichar) was ready to go into the manga rounds, but you just logged in, so I figured out, why not ask you? ^~^

I would start adding them as soon as you validate it and give me the go.

PS: Have you been able to find anything about my mysterious CD? MannedTooth (Talk) 05:02, 9 February 2016 (UTC)

I haven't had a chance to research the mysterious CD because I've been busy with my job and other things ^^' I will get to it when I can. Unfortunately, we've reviewed that template in the past (it's been on the sandbox for a while) and we've determined it isn't really needed at this time. It ultimately doesn't add anything substantial to the pages (plain text communicates the information perfectly fine) and between anime and manga articles, there would be well over 1000 pages that it would affect, so we would rather invest more focus on other, higher-priority projects, mainly adding new content as opposed to redecorating existing content. Sorry! --ZestyCactus 06:14, 9 February 2016 (UTC)

it's okay, we all have a real life. :p but adding this template would add so much quality to the wiki since it's compact and sweet for the eyes. If this would happen, I would personally work on adding them, so you guys can concentrate on other things. And that's weird to me, since everytime I try to add new stuff it gets deleted for "unotability". Like, do you guys even want new stuff being added or what? Is it just me that doesn't understand something or what? Sadly, I am now only wandering the wiki, refreshing the recent changes page without knowing what to do. I really, really have motivation. I want to help, you might have noticed already, but there's nothing I can do apparently... :/ MannedTooth (Talk) 06:56, 9 February 2016 (UTC)

Well, the template mentioned upthread is purely aesthetic - it's not actually adding any new information to the article, just presenting it differently. The fact of the matter is there is lots to do... but you specifically told me you weren't interested in the wanted pages and you didn't seem really interested when I mentioned the Manga to-do list or other similar projects (Articles needing improvement, etc.) these are really the things that we need the most. Your manga plot summaries were good and that is an area we have very few contributors in - are you no longer interested in doing those? There are 890 articles with incomplete plot summaries, including anime episodes. We have many editors who like working on character articles, but there are some that still could use some help, particularly for more obscure series. I'm also still interested in starting a page for those Quebec French VHS tapes - I have five or six of them myself, but I've put it to the back burner because content that is not in English or Japanese is generally lower priority, but I did plan to make it one day, so if you are willing to help, that opportunity is still open too. That's just a short-term project though - the longer-term stuff is adding summaries (which there is a high reader demand for), keeping up on volume releases and chapter/round article creation, that sort of tedious stuff. Researching old merchandise and documenting it. It's tedious, sure, but that's the true backbone of the manga section. I see little value in adding templates to change the look of the pages when so many manga pages look like this. --ZestyCactus 03:35, 10 February 2016 (UTC)
