Articles should use [[Template:RouteInfo]], and all known info should be supplied.

{{ProjectBox|width=100%|How you can help|
You can help by opening the [[List of routes]] and selecting any route that is a stub (or not a stub) and expand it using your general knowledge or from other facts and figures. Most of the existing route articles need to be modified to comply with the project standard (see below). You can check [[:Category:Route stubs]] to see which articles need expanding.


===Main Section===
===Quality articles===
Untitled section that describes the route. Depending on the route this section may just name the direction (E/W or N/S) and termination points, or may go into considerable detail. However, the majority of detail, should be reserved for the next section.
As a {{u|electAbuzzzz|wise man}} once said, "We’ve been planting many young shrubs, but in the process, we keep forgetting to water our old oaks." This can be found in electAbuzzzz's [[User:electAbuzzzz/Quality|editorial essay on article quality]], which has more to do with anime Pokémon, however, it is very applicable in this case. Many route articles that have been made, contain small amounts, if not no information, and are subject to broken templates etc.  


===Route description===
In order to create a quality article for route pages, please follow the guide, ''[[Bulbapedia:Project Routes/How to create a quality route article|How to create a quality route article]]''.
This section is for describing the route itself. The progression of the main path of the route should be described from north to south, east to west.
}}
 
===Pokémon that Appear on Route XXX===
A list of Pokémon that appear along the route as well as encounter rates and times of encounter if possible. Lists should be separated by game version using third-level headlines and should be grouped as follows and in this order:
*Pokémon Red/Blue
*Pokémon Yellow
*Pokémon Gold/Silver
*Pokémon Crystal
*Pokémon Ruby/Sapphire
*Pokémon Emerald
*Pokémon FireRed/LeafGreen
 
If the route was not featured in a version, then that version can be omitted from the list.
 
===Differences Among Versions===
If the route was featured in multiple versions of Pokémon, the differences between versions should be listed here. Lists should be separated by game version using third-level headlines and should be grouped as shown above.
 
===Categories===
All articles should use the following categories:
*<nowiki>[[Category:(Region) locations|Route XXX]]</nowiki> where (Region) is either Johto, Kanto or Hoenn
*<nowiki>[[Category:Routes|Route XXX]]</nowiki>
 
All articles should use the following categories where applicable:
*<nowiki>[[Category:Red, Blue and Yellow locations|Route XXX]]</nowiki>
*<nowiki>[[Category:Gold, Silver and Crystal locations|Route XXX]]</nowiki>
*<nowiki>[[Category:Ruby and Sapphire locations|Route XXX]]</nowiki>
*<nowiki>[[Category:Emerald locations|Route XXX]]</nowiki>
*<nowiki>[[Category:FireRed and LeafGreen locations|Route XXX]]</nowiki>
 
For all categories, XXX is the route number (i.e. Route 1 would be 001).
 
===Routebox Browse===
<nowiki>{{Routebox}}</nowiki> should be used here. See "Other templates" for usage.
 
===See also===
Place all internal links here.
 
===References===
Place all references here, using the <nowiki><ref></ref></nowiki> tags in the article and the <nowiki><references/></nowiki> tag in this section.
 
===External links===
Place all external links which are not references here.


==Goals==
# To organize, standardize, and expand the articles on Routes in the Pokémon World.
# Numbered route articles should be named "Route N" where N is the route number. Non-numbered route articles should be named after the route in question.
==List==

Scope and aims

Project Routes covers all articles about Routes in the Pokémon World. The ultimate goal is to create, expand and standardize articles for every route, numbered and named, such as Hoenn's Jagged Pass or Kanto's Diglett's Cave, that has been featured in the Pokémon games and anime. Currently, this project covers every route in the regions of Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh, Unova, Kalos and the Sevii Islands.

How you can help

You can help by opening the List of routes and selecting any route that is a stub (or not a stub) and expand it using your general knowledge or from other facts and figures. Most of the existing route articles need to be modified to comply with the project standard (see below). You can check Category:Route stubs to see which articles need expanding.

Quality articles

As a wise man once said, "We’ve been planting many young shrubs, but in the process, we keep forgetting to water our old oaks." This can be found in electAbuzzzz's editorial essay on article quality, which has more to do with anime Pokémon, however, it is very applicable in this case. Many route articles that have been made, contain small amounts, if not no information, and are subject to broken templates etc.

In order to create a quality article for route pages, please follow the guide, How to create a quality route article.
