== New Page ==
How do I create a new page? I have noticed that the guide is missing several pages, including Route 205 (Eterna City Side). Secondly, I haven't seen any maps. Am I allowed to copy maps from a game guide? I tried reading the license page, but it didn't make sense. [[User:Chrestomanci21|Chrestomanci21]] 09:00, 21 October 2007 (CDT)
: An easy way to create a new page is to make a link to the page you want to create in some useful place (such as in the right place in the Table of Contents), then click the link. Next, click the "Guide page" button above the editing area to preload the necessary parts of the page, write the page content, and save it. :-) Generally, you aren't allowed to copy maps from game guides, unless the game guide is under the ''GFDL'' license (i.e. the same license as us). You'll have to make your own, or use in-game screenshots. --[[User:DrBob|DrBob]] ([[User_talk:DrBob|talk]]) 09:16, 21 October 2007 (CDT)

:Yeah, when using Pal Park, everything about the Pokémon is identical in terms of held item, stats, IVs, EVs, and even if it was shiny or not, any nicknames, etc. The only thing changed is where it was caught, like if it was caught on Route 2 in Fire Red, then the place it was caught would read Kanto, not Route 2.

== Routes in order? ==
Could we place a general overview that, what else, generalls overviews each section of the game? Like all the routes and towns/cities and others so that, not during the walkthrough, general data can be looked up, that way things like the Pokémon that are availible, items to be found, and stuff like that be added in? More of a referance than a guide, but overall just a world map help part.
And I was thinking we need a uniform size for all Pokémon pictures. That way all the tables and pictures look good, not just like "I found a big picture of a Metang and am posting that, not bother to resive it to make it fit correctly in the table!"
Ideas? [[User:Angel14995|Angel14995]] 15:52, 26 August 2007 (CDT)
And I just thought of this: A set template for all routes, cities, and other places (like caves and strange places... *eerie music plays*)[[User:Angel14995|Angel14995]] 21:20, 27 August 2007 (CDT)
:Angel, please take some time to review the format used throughout [[Pokémon Red and Blue]], which is the same style in which [[Pokémon Gold and Silver]] is currently in the process of being revamped.  Those guides are there to serve as an example of how other Pokémon walkthroughs should be established.  Also, please make sure that every page in the Diamond and Pearl walkthrough receives a properly formatted Footer Nav.  Thank you.  [[User:Procyon|Procyon]] ([[User talk:Procyon|Talk]]) 09:44, 28 August 2007 (CDT)
::Ok, I'll do that. But I've looked at those guides before and I have a little problem with the maps. I know I won't be able to do them, so I would like it if someone else did. I also have to say that most of the trainer data I am collecting will be from the "VS. Seeker", so some of the levels and rewards might be slightly wrong if I am to do it that way, but I will go back and check out as many trainers as I can. And I will make sure the Footer Navs are correctly made. they should go to the next part in the walkthrough, am I correct? I had noticed some of the last places like Turnback Cave skipped a page, so i made it go to the next page. And your welcome, I'll help out as much as I can. [[User:Angel14995|Angel14995]] 13:47, 28 August 2007 (CDT)
:::You don't ''have'' to collect all the information yourself (your choice), just try to follow the formatting and leave space for others to fill in the gaps.  The Footer Navs should link to both the previous and next pages in the guide (and use customnext or customprev for branching sections).  If you need any more info, we'll be around to help :). -- [[User:Prod|Prod]] ([[User talk:Prod|Talk]]) 22:58, 28 August 2007 (CDT)
::::Cool, cool. Ok, i'll finish the nav bars today, and they will allow people to start working on the actual info.

== pokemon image location ==
I was going through this guide a while ago trying to make formatting match on multiple pages and adding missing bulbapedia links in the guide and found a formatting detail that differed enough to not be able to tell which is the right one.
In the pokemon encounters tables the image of the pokemon is either to the right or left of their name depending on which page you are on. When the formatting throughout a guide is similar it looks unified, so I was wondering which one is prefered. --[[User:Zaiqukaj|Zaiqukaj]] 08:11, 8 October 2007 (CDT)
: In the Gold/Silver/Crystal guide, I've kept them to the left, like on [[Pokémon Gold and Silver/Route 30-31|this page]].  But there's no official policy.  [[User:Procyon|Procyon]] ([[User talk:Procyon|Talk]]) 12:38, 8 October 2007 (CDT)
== Header Colors? ==
I was going through the formatting of some of the pages, and was trying to make everything uniform. I looked at some of the headings for some of the "New Pokémon" boxes, and they are all purple. What colors (in hex) should we use to represent Diamond and Pearl? [[User:Angel14995|Angel14995]] 14:08, 16 October 2007 (CDT)
How would this be?
{|{{prettytable}}
!style="background-color:#E6E8FA;color:#000000;" | ### Pokemon
|}
If there are no objections, I'm going to implement this now.

== Ranger Events ==
I've noticed that the Diamond/Pearl page, it says nothing about the Pokemon Ranger Battonage events, like the Manaphy Egg and the Rioru and the Darkrai. Is this intentional, or was it just left out?
