FireRed LeafGreen Giovanni.png Clarky13 is the leader of this project. Please direct any questions about Project Routes or its actions to this user.

Some Bulbapedia members have formed a project to better organize efforts to write and improve articles about Routes in the Pokémon World. If you would like to help, please inquire on the talk page or, if you would like to join this project, you can sign up below.

Scope

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, and the Sevii Islands.

To-do list

Main article: Bulbapedia:Project Routes/To-do list
  • Expand all articles to the project standard.
  • Create and add map template to all articles.
  • Add pictures to all route articles.
  • Complete the Trainer templates in every Route.

How you can help

You can help by opening the List of routes in the Pokémon world 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.

Most of the existing route articles need to be modified to comply with the project standard (see below). You can open Category:Route articles needing work and review what has been noted to need work there. Also, you can check Category:Route stubs to see which articles need expanding.

Routes in Category:Routes needing screenshots have been converted to the new standard but are missing screenshots for the infobox. You can open this category, see which routes are listed and, if possible, upload a screenshot of that route to Bulbagarden Archives. Once the image has been uploaded, the Template:Routeimage tag can be removed.

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.
