Template:bp
Hi. I was patrolling edits in the Pokémon guides, and I noticed that after most links to Bulbapedia, a Pokémon's level is listed. Since it's hard to keep such things consistent, I figured it would be a good idea to add the facility to specify a Pokémon's level to the bp template. To this end, could you use when linking to Pokémon in future (where applicable)? If you want more information, I've added usage documentation to the template. Thanks, and keep up the good work! --DrBob (Talk) 13:26, 9 March 2007 (CST)

Luxury Ball
Hello, great work on the Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire guide (it was my first edit on that page). I'm working mainly on the Silver, Gold and Crystal page but occasionally check the Ruby guide and I have noticed that you have put that you can only find the Luxury Ball in one place. You can actually get them from winning a Master Rank Pokémon Contest as well (the first time a pic will go in the museum then you will get Luxury Balls every time after that). Keep up the excellent work!--Rocky http://media.strategywiki.org/images/thumb/7/78/Rally-X_Rock.png/25px-Rally-X_Rock.png (Talk - Contributions) 15:06, 10 March 2007 (CST)

Image size and redirects
Hi VikrantAP. Thanks for all of your Pokémon contributions. I just wanted to let you know two things. First, please try to limit the size of the images that you upload to a width of 320 or less. The box scans you upload look great, but ultimately, they only get seen at roughly 250 pixels wide, so that's a big file upload when a smaller file would be just as good. Second, I deleted your redirect from Category:Pokemon to Category:Pokémon. I understand your point, be we generally try to discourage category to category redirects because it just creates confusion. It's better to rely on competent editors such as yourself to correct any mislabeled categories, should any appear. Thanks again, and keep up the great work. Procyon (Talk) 12:30, 31 May 2007 (CDT)
 * Images can't have a : in them, it's converted to a - so be careful. -- Prod (Talk) 19:42, 14 June 2007 (CDT)

New pages
When starting a new page (like the Table of Contents or the guide front page) try to use the preload buttons that are just above the edit box. They will set up a lot of the formatting for you and save us some cleanup. -- Prod (Talk) 11:32, 1 June 2007 (CDT)

Deprecated templates
The discussion is on the community issues page somewhere. All Game Nav has been replaced with Header Nav, mainly because it's a clearer name. and in the Footer Navs backpage has been changed to prevpage. I've got a bot going through making the changes, so don't worry if you forget. There's also the links you can press in the "insert box" thing below the edit box. -- Prod (Talk) 10:26, 11 June 2007 (CDT)
 * Header Nav isn't a deprecated Template, All GAme Nav is. --Notmyhandle (talk • contribs) 17:31, 11 June 2007 (CDT)

Template:Poke-stub
I've deleted this template and modified the stub template to do what this template does. Just call it with, like in Pokémon Pinball: Ruby and Sapphire. --SkizzerzTalk - Contribs 11:50, 12 June 2007 (CDT)

Cleanup project
Welcome to the cleanup project... sorry, we don't really have one of those standardized welcome messages for this group. -- Prod (Talk) 11:31, 13 June 2007 (CDT)
 * err prod, Cleanup project welcome
 * Umm, yes...I knew that... -- Prod (Talk) 11:48, 13 June 2007 (CDT)
 * When moving pages, please remember to clean up the pages that link to it. Usually it's just the Table of Contents for the guide, though there could be more.  If you miss a few, one of the sysops will come by and clean it up.  -- Prod (Talk) 20:51, 15 June 2007 (CDT)

Welcome to the cleanup project
Thanks for joining the cleanup project; we hope you'll find our work useful, and possibly even fun. :-) Is there anything you're unsure about, or are you confident you truly know everything there is to know about the layout standards and operating procedures for clearing things up? Before you start, make sure you've read the layout policy thoroughly. --Rocky http://media.strategywiki.org/images/thumb/7/78/Rally-X_Rock.png/25px-Rally-X_Rock.png (Talk - Contributions) 11:42, 13 June 2007 (CDT)

Summarize your edits
Hi VikrantAP. Please fill in the edit summary box when you make changes. It's not just for you, it's a courtesy to all of the other editors. Thank you. Procyon (Talk) 10:03, 14 June 2007 (CDT)

ToC inclusion
Did you change anything when doing this edit? -- Prod (Talk) 19:42, 14 June 2007 (CDT)
 * If the games are mostly the same, the ToC's should be shared. You should only add a few links which discuss major differences.  If there are small differences in the games, they should be mentioned in the common walkthrough. -- Prod (Talk) 20:37, 15 June 2007 (CDT)
