Image uploads
Please see our policy on image naming and categorization. In the future, your image names should contain the name of the game or its abbreviation and a one or two word description. All images also need to have the appropriate categories added, as well as the guide-specific image category (e.g.  ). -- najzere T 16:58, 7 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Sorry about that, I'm still not sure about the MOS for image uploads here. I'll figure it out before I upload next time. Drew R. Smith 00:33, 8 December 2009 (UTC)

PFR/LG guide
Hi Drew. Thanks for contributing to the FR/LG guide. Since this is a wiki, and all of the content belongs to the public domain, feel free to grab all the content you want from the Pokémon Red and Blue guide and correct it to make it more applicable. That's basically how I started making the FR/LG guide. Let me know if you need any help.  Pro cyon  14:35, 8 December 2009 (UTC)
 * I thought about that, but figured the differences would be just enough to make it a pain... But I'll take a look, as I'm making the guides as I play through the game. Drew R. Smith 23:45, 8 December 2009 (UTC)

Pokémon page creator
Hi, unfortunately your template leaves far too much cruft behind to use as a page creator. It's a cool idea, but I'd rather not have to do any more cleanup like this. :P The high level of foreign template stuff would make it too hard for your average editor to deal with (and we've got some young Pokémon fans editing), and a large portion of it isn't being used anyway. Feel free to keep working on a version that won't leave anything weird behind, or use it and clean up afterwards. Thanks for working on the guide! — najzere T 17:25, 8 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Oh, sorry! I was planning on cleaning it up myself, but fell asleep before I got to it! As for the creator, I have some ideas on how to make it more user friendly, but they all involve extensions we dont have here yet. :( Drew R. Smith 23:41, 8 December 2009 (UTC)
 * You could always bring up any extensions you'd like to see on the Staff lounge and see if there's a consensus to include it. If you plan to petition for a new extension, try to explain how it can be useful to the whole wiki, as it's less likely to be added if it's just for one guide. Good luck! — najzere T 23:47, 8 December 2009 (UTC)

Templates
Hey, thanks for adding some templates to our repertoire. I deleted the editnotice one, as it was basically a duplicate of our tag template and also because we don't want large notices left by editors at the tops of guide pages. There was a discussion a long time ago about which templates should get the big box at the top, and there aren't too many – just some of these ones. I added some usage notes and categorized para though, so thanks for that one. Just wanted to give you a heads up! Keep up the good work :D — najzere T 19:16, 9 December 2009 (UTC)
 * editnotice was supposed to show up only in the editscreen, but it didn't work quite the way I wanted it too. Is there some tag I can put on bad templates so that someone can delete them? Also, what categories should I place templates into? Drew R. Smith 21:23, 9 December 2009 (UTC)
 * You can put reason on any article to have it deleted. Templates should be placed into Category:Templates if they are for the wiki as a whole, or Category:Guide-specific templates if they're for a guide. Within the Templates category there are some subcategories that should be used instead, if they apply. Make sure to pipe off the template name so it doesn't get sorted by "T" in the namespace (or just use ). Hope that helps :) —  najzere T 21:30, 9 December 2009 (UTC)
