Thanks for working on FRLG
Hey, just wanted to thank you for all of your hard work on the Fire Red Leaf Green guide. I just wanted to encourage you to steal liberally from the Pokémon Red and Blue guide as much as you like, and conversely update the Red and Blue wherever necessary. The more parity there exists between the two guides, the better in my opinion. Thanks again.  Pro cyon  15:02, 25 July 2016 (UTC)


 * Just a note: be careful with the colors you're adding to the Pokemon Trainer tables. Black text on dark colors can be very difficult to read.  Try choosing lighter or more washed-out colors so that the text is easier to read.  Alternatively, you could try changing the text color to white, but I really don't recommend that approach (make it harder to maintain.)  Thank you.   Pro  cyon  02:08, 29 July 2016 (UTC)

Adding a new page
Hi Orion35. Adding a new page is no problem, and should be fairly simple. The easiest way to do it is to simply add a new link to the page you'd like to create in the table of contents. So in your case, head over to Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen/Table of Contents and simply add in new links to pages that you'd like to create. The link to each page is in a similar format, so if for example, you wanted to name the new page Viridian Gym, then you would insert the following line into the list of pages at the right location:


 * 1) Viridian Gym

When you save the page, the new link will be red, meaning the page doesn't exist yet. That's fine. Go ahead and click on it. When you do, you'll be presented with the chance to create the new page, and there will be a selection of template buttons at the top to help you get started. Choose the one that says Guide page, and it will prepopulate the Header Nav and Footer Nav for you. Then it's up to you to add the new content. This should help you get started. Please let me know if you have any other questions. Good luck!  Pro cyon  02:02, 31 August 2016 (UTC)

Image categorisation
When uploading images, please make sure to categorise them using the correct image categories and the guide-specific category, i.e.  Category:Game Name images. Please see our image policy for more details. Thanks for helping to keep our images neat! —  Pro cyon  04:40, 31 August 2016 (UTC)
 * This is important to us. If you wouldn't mind, could you please edit the maps that you uploaded (just as you would any other page), and add  to each image?  Ideally, you should add  as well to any image that's a map.  Then the next time you upload a new image, you can add these in right away in the description.  Thanks again for helping us out.

 * Hi Orion34. I notice that you just uploaded File:Pokemon FRLG Cape Brink.png, but you did not add any of the categories as I described to you above.  Could you please go back and do that now?  Also, could you please respond to this message so that I know you've seen it?  Thanks very much.   Pro  cyon  00:28, 1 September 2016 (UTC)


 * Hey there. Sorry, I just noticed your message a second ago. I'll do the changes.. once I figure out how to do them. Again, my apologies.Orion35 (talk) 00:31, 1 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Hey, no worries, no need to apologize. Here's the thing though, you don't need to reupload the images at all.  You can just edit the description of an image the same way you edit a page.  Thanks either way.   Pro  cyon  02:06, 1 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Actually, re-uploading the image doesn't work at all it seems. My bot has gone through and corrected a few. -- Prod (talk) 17:10, 1 September 2016 (UTC)

Blanking pages
Instead of deleting all of the content from a page and saving it empty, could you please place one of the following templates at the top of the page? Use delete with a message explaining why none of the content of a page should be kept. Or use rename with a proposed new name if you want the contents of a page moved to a new location. Thanks.  Pro cyon  14:10, 4 September 2016 (UTC)
 * My bad, I'm sorry. I'll remember that for the future. As i'm close to finishing Fire Red/Leaf Green, I plan to continue the Gold/Silver/Crystal guide, and I guess there might be some more adding and deleting there. Once again, my bad.Orion35 (talk) 14:42, 4 September 2016 (UTC)
 * No need to apologize, it's all good. Your edits are invaluable, and you have a very good sense of what does, and does not, belong in a guide.  We give a large amount of latitude to primary authors when they're focused on a guide, we just want to maintain an aspect of democracy when it comes to content.  Frankly, if you say those codes are no good, that's good enough for me, it's just a good idea to document the history of that decision somewhere so people understand why the content was removed.  That's all.  Keep up the great work, I'm looking forward to seeing your contributions to Gold/Silver/Crystal.  I was responsible for a lot of that guide.   Pro  cyon  01:14, 5 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the vote of confidence. Yeah, I looked at the Gold/Silver guide and noticed that most of the important stuff is there (good job on that by the way), so mostly what I'm going to do for the guide is what I've done for Fire Red/Leaf Green, that is fill in the holes and improve the latter pages. I'm mostly going to hit Gold/Silver because eventually I will continue with Heart Gold/Soul Silver (which unlike Gold/Silver, will require a ton of work), and I figure that there will be a lot of synergy between the guides. Thanks for all the help!Orion35 (talk) 04:27, 5 September 2016 (UTC)
