Check out [[WP:WP:AWB]].  It's a fairly easy to use/set up bot.  I mainly use its find/replace features so you'll need to learn a bit out that stuff (and be very careful with it ;)). -- [[User:Prod|Prod]] ([[User talk:Prod|Talk]]) 00:52, 26 September 2007 (CDT)

Why thank you! I've been working mostly behind the scenes keeping the server alive (as so proven in the last downtime we just had.) I feel snug already. :)
As gamers, it's quite easy to fall out of communities as we get addicted to the games we love... ahahaha. --{{User:Notmyhandle/Sig}} 19:50, 22 June 2008 (CDT)

== Potential significant change, could use input and later assistance. ==
Hey LK.  Prod is the ToC master, he does a much better job of arranging that stuff than I.  The ToC looks fine in general to me, and if he approves of your edits, then you're golden. My only suggestions would be to merge all of the Alt-forms into one page, put that page under "Multiplayer, Basics", and move the list of Hunters to directly below the Basics list, which would collapse the length of the ToC a little bit and fill in some of the white space. [[User:Procyon|Procyon]] ([[User talk:Procyon|Talk]]) 15:05, 5 July 2008 (CDT)
:I would actually say merge the alt forms to the hunters pages.  Since morph ball is samus' alt, i'm assuming that they can change back and forth between them so it makes sense to have both strategies together.  As Procyon said, if you can get rid of the alt forms column, you can get rid of the whole bottom row.  Are the different modes multiplayer specific, or are there multiple single player modes? -- [[User:Prod|Prod]] ([[User talk:Prod|Talk]]) 20:15, 5 July 2008 (CDT)
::Yeah, I thought of that earlier. It didn't make much sense to merge all the alt form info into one page because the hunters had their separate pages, it would make a lot more sense to move all the alt form info onto the hunter pages. The game modes are multi-player specific. [[User:0-172|Lunar Knight]] <sup>([[User talk:0-172|Talk to me]] + [[Special:Contributions/0-172|Contribs]])</sup> 20:19, 5 July 2008 (CDT)

== Banning ==


==Pokémon Ruby/Sapphire Dex==
Over here, we haven't really discussed a banning policy, but we're trying to attract visitorsI'd prefer we just ban malicious vandals as long as it takes for them to forget about the site (week should be long enough). -- [[User:Prod|Prod]] ([[User talk:Prod|Talk]]) 16:45, 5 July 2008 (CDT)
Hello, I've noticed on your page that you are doing this, should we use the Diamond and Pearl images or [[:Category:Pokémon artwork|these]], I'm starting on the Ruby images now and I'm wondering if we should use these instead?--[[User:Rocky|Rocky]] [[Image:Rally-X_Rock.png|25px]]  (<small>[[User_talk:Rocky|Talk]] [[Special:Contributions/Rocky|Contributions]] </small>) 10:32, 2 March 2007 (CST)
: This is a tricky issue.  We went with the artwork because the artwork doesn't change from version to versionBut since 0-172's pokedex is specific to R/S/E, it's not that big a deal that he chose to use the sprites over the artwork.  For a general pokedex, it should use artwork. But if you want to go to the trouble of getting the sprites for each Pokemon in Diamond and Pearl, you could use the same technique.  Personally, I feel like it's more trouble than it's worth, but that's not an official policy.  [[User:Procyon|Procyon]] 13:27, 2 March 2007 (CST)
::I would really prefer to use the sprites over the artwork. If the artwork is to be used, all my time put into the sprites will be for nothing. Also, since I have already started with sprites, I am and will go to the trouble to uploading the others. I have no particular problem with the sugimori (name for the pokemon artwork), but I started the page with sprites, and would prefer to complete the page using the sprites.
