Re: Pokebox & Dispute Edit

In regards to the Light type, it will take a while, but I will try to update all the templates to include it. As I don't use the Light type in my games, it never occurred to me to include it. I'll try to get that taken care of. As for the templates, most of them were indeed taken from Bulbapedia with the notable of the exception of the Pokémon Infobox which I coded myself. I was under the impression that Bulbapedia content was free to use, but reviewing their official policy I see that they require attribution. I thank you for bringing this matter to my attention and I will make sure to note which templates were taken from Bulbapedia.---♥ATTH♥ 01:56, August 14, 2010 (UTC)

PokeboxEdit

Yeah, I finally figured it out. The old one is still at Template:PokeBox, I created the new one at Template:PokemonBox (Ryuushu's still using the old one and I didn't want to mess up his articles). The only thing I still need to work on is the automatic categorization; I started the template in the Userspace and it applied the categories to the template itself, not recognizing it as a template. So I'll have to add the code for automatic categorization again. That, and there's still some leftover code for the old multi-form displays, but I didn't want to mess with anything lest I screw up the table (I'm not very good at coding, its a miracle I've managed to make the fixes I did without completely destroying it lol...) Some of the changes I've made include:

Simplified manual image display: The original template had a dynamic image display designed to display the Sugimori artwork for the most recent game the Pokémon appeared in along with a caption stating which game the artwork was from. I obviously can't code for every fan game, so I decided to just let people pick their own image and caption.

Custom Region Dex parameter: In addition to the five current regions, the table can now display a Pokédex number for any fan region.

Habitats in place of footprints. I didn't want a bunch of ugly red links in the table where the footprints should be (since most people aren't going to go through the trouble of making footprint sprites anyway), so I decided to switch out footprints for habitats.

A dynamic display for Pokémon with form differences. Bulbapedia's infobox displays the data for all forms at the same time; however, its coding was dependent on currently existing forms and it would be a hassle to re-code the table every time someone made a new form-changing Pokémon (not that I could figure out how to do that if I needed to). So I came up with a compromise: Rather than displaying the data for all forms at once, it displays the data for one form at a time with tooltips displaying the data for the other formes. The displayed form changes every time you visit the page (Bulbapedia already does this with the artwork and type colors for certain Pokémon with form differences as well as Arceus's type; I just applied the concept to the whole table.) The method of employing the dynamic display is a bit complicated, but I'mn working on adding instructions to the template at the moment.--♥ATTH♥ 23:26, August 19, 2010 (UTC)

Not yet. I'll get to work on that as soon as I'm done with the PokemonBox instructions.--♥ATTH♥ 01:27, August 20, 2010 (UTC)

When I made the original PokeBox template, the parameters I used were different from the ones Bulbapedia uses (like "img" instead of "image" or "groupn" instead of "egggroupn"). So if I replaced the old template with the new one (which still uses the same parameters as Bulbapedia), some of the information would be missing on their pages.--♥ATTH♥ 03:19, August 20, 2010 (UTC)

I suppose. I'll see what I can do.--♥ATTH♥ 03:26, August 20, 2010 (UTC)

I'm did as you suggested and merged the old and new PokeBox templates. The only thing I couldn't salvage was the gender ratio determination since the old one went with specific percentages while the new one relied on the games' gender threshold. However, it's a simple task to add the gender code to the template, so no harm done. I also added color templates for the Light type and added a TypeEffectiveness subtemplate for games that use the Light type, while still retaining the main template for games that don't include it. I can also make more type effectiveness templates for any other fan type that pops up, so if you see any, let me know.--♥ATTH♥ 07:57, August 20, 2010 (UTC)

Actually, it's not the infobox that's the problem. When you add a parameter without defining it, the template sometimes doesn't display correctly. See those little text remnants under Dragozou's name? That's because you haven't set jname or jtrans equal to anything. Either assign them values or delete them and it should display fine. The same thing goes for the regional dex. You've declared a region name but the dex number is a null value, which the template doesn't know what to do with. Also, since Kanto is already coded into the template, specifying Kanto as the sixth region causes the Kanto Dex number to display twice if you do specify a number. The solution is the same; either give it a dex number (and change the region name to avoid duplicate displays) or delete the rdex parameter entirely. As for the ability, the template was already coded to link to the ability's article. So when you put [[DragonHeart]] instead of just DragonHeart, it tries to link to an article entitled [[DragonHeart]] instead of one called DragonHeart. I've changed the template so it doesn't create automatic links and either declared or deleted the necessary parameters and Dragozou's page looks good now, but for future reference, remove any parameters that don't have values and check whether or not certain values already link to their articles or not before you include a link. You can change any of the items I added as well as add the ones I removed, check the template's talk page for instructions.--♥ATTH♥ 09:47, August 20, 2010 (UTC)

It's not the infobox that's causing the problem. For some reason, headers don't display correctly if there's no information under them. Just add something to the trivia section and it should show up properly. And remember to delete items from the infobox if you're not using them, those null values are are causing a bunch of expression errors as I'm sure you've noticed.--♥ATTH♥ 01:25, August 22, 2010 (UTC)

Okay, I fixed the gender thing. Now it's just gender = x, where x is the percentage of males, or male if it's 100% male, female if it's 100% female, or none if it's genderless. Sorry for it being so complicated before; blame Bulbapedia lol...--♥ATTH♥ 03:02, August 22, 2010 (UTC)

Hi, and before you say anything else, I'm just here because Art requested me to critique (or something like that) his Pokemon. I'm really no expert, but he insisted. I will be going back to SFW soon.

TypeEffectivness template Edit

I see you tried to edit the TypeEffectiveness template to display the Light type. I actually already made a separate template for that; this way people can still use the old one if they don't want to use the Light type. Sorry for not pointing that out; I made a note on the main template page so that other people can find it.--♥ATTH♥ 14:04, September 1, 2010 (UTC)

You must have made a typo; I tried it on Starossum's page and it works fine.--♥ATTH♥ 03:18, September 2, 2010 (UTC)

He was the first one I met on this site, and the first one along with Ryushu to make my stay here worthwhile. Now he's gone. Cmdr Lightning 04:05, March 9, 2011 (UTC)

Restoring his comments on the blog would be an insult to him, and that would sever any ties we have left. Cmdr Lightning 04:10, March 9, 2011 (UTC)

Vell, the thing is I respect him too much to do that. If he wanted his comments on the blog to stay deleted, then I'll honor that request. Cmdr Lightning 04:17, March 9, 2011 (UTC)

Just so you know, I'm there now. Cmdr Lightning 04:43, March 9, 2011 (UTC)

Not to interrupt your tirade, but I found out something strange. Raging Blast, the one who started criticizing this wiki the minute he arrived hasn't said anything after this sequence of events happened. There may be something very suspicious about his intentions. Cmdr Lightning 22:14, March 9, 2011 (UTC)

I know, but I have reasons to believe that Raging Blast may have tried to widen the whole rift until we came to this point. He hasn't shown up since this happened, which makes him all too suspicious. I'm keeping a close watch on him. Cmdr Lightning 22:26, March 9, 2011 (UTC)

I did not complain to MY (MS goes by that usually.) I saw that I was acting starange, and asked me what was wrong. So I told him, and he made a blog about it. Doe that get your [bleep] outta my buisness? Yes, this is my slightly ticked side. I tried to be nice to you, but you didn't return the favor. This breaks part of the rules (That Cam aprroved!) and will result in a block if this continues! -Universal Guardian 1003 22:36, March 9, 2011 (UTC)

A Tell-Tale Heart - "On a scale of one to awesome, I'm super-great!"
TALK - Wednesday, May 22^nd 2013 @ 01:44

With the PokeBox template, there is a special template that changes which form of a Pokémon is displayed. The format of the template is {{forme|x|1|2}} where x is the number of forms, 1 is the information for the first form, 2 for the second, etc. You can use this template with various parameters such as type, height, weight, ability, and even the displayed image and caption.

To use your example, since the second type is what changes between forms, we'll use this special template only for the type2 parameter. In this case, , the value for parameter 1 is null since the first form has no second type (basically don't put anything, not even a space), and the value for parameter 2 is Dark. Put it all together and you get type2={{forme|2||Dark}}. What this does is take the current time and divide it by 2; if it divides evenly, the template displays the type as Psychic, and if there is a remainder, it displays Psychic/Dark instead.

For each parameter compatible with the forme template, there is also an optional parameter that adds a tooltip displaying information for all the forms that are not currently being displayed; these parameters also use the same forme template. In this case, you would put typenote={{forme|2|Forme 2 is Psychic/Dark-type|Forme 1 is pure Psychic-type}}. You can find more detailed instructions on how to use the Forme template on the PokeBox's talk page.

TALK - Wednesday, May 22^nd 2013 @ 01:44

Okay, I'll use a real Pokémon as an example. Say you were creating an article for Shaymin. The code for displaying Shaymin's type would go something like this:

{{PokeBox
|type1=Grass
|type2={{Forme|2||Flying}}
|typenote={{Forme|2|Sky Forme is Grass/Flying-type|Land Forme is pure Grass-type}}
}}

As I explained before, if the current time is divisible by 2, the infobox will display Shaymin's Land Forme, with a note next to the type that lists the type of its Sky Forme, and vice versa if the time is not divisible by 2. You can also do this for the displayed image and caption, abilities, height and weight, and effort value yields (an example can be seen here). If you're still having trouble, link me to the article and I'll do it for you. :)

You need to spell out height and weight.

A Tell-Tale Heart - "On a scale of one to awesome, I'm super-great!"
TALK - Wednesday, May 22^nd 2013 @ 01:44

Okay, I fixed it for you. What you have to remember is that only the displayed information goes in the main parameters, and the notes go in the note parameters. Also remember that the notes must be listed in reverse order. Using Protew as an example, the pure Psychic Proto Forme is the default Forme, and the Psychic/Dark Complete Forme is the alternate Forme. So using the Forme code for type2, the first value is blank as the Proto Forme has no second type; the second value is Dark for the Complete Forme's second type. The Forme code for typenote goes the opposite way, with the first value being "Complete Forme is Psychic/Dark" and the second being "Proto Forme is pure Psychic". This way the tooltips always display the data for whichever Forme is NOT currently displayed in the infobox.

Fixed It Up

Keeper111 21:48, May 8, 2011 (UTC)

Sigh, look I apologize if it still looks confusing, but there is information that REALLY needs to be on the form. I Tell me what you think I should get rid of and I will. Everything you find confusing about this. Keeper111 22:35, May 8, 2011 (UTC)

Now I understand what your saying, and I moved the excessive coding into another section of the talk page.

Keeper111 23:12, May 8, 2011 (UTC)

There. I actually cut them from the site and put a notice saying if it's not in the section anymore, I got it. But can you please tell me what to do with the coding. What Should the application look like?

But the excessive coding is gone! I cut and pasted both of the previous applications into a word document! What now?

Keeper111 23:46, May 8, 2011 (UTC)

I think and hope I finally get what your talking about. The maximum is 3 applications, and they cannot all be from the same region. I'm going to go fix it now

Keeper111 23:50, May 8, 2011 (UTC)

Cool. BTW, can you tell me what the natures of your pokemon are? Keeper111 00:24, May 9, 2011 (UTC)

I never put any there. It's ignorant wikia's fault. -Universal Guardian 1003 01:02, May 9, 2011 (UTC)

That's obviously not my fault. It appeared after my edit. -Universal Guardian 1003 01:11, May 9, 2011 (UTC)

It's doing it as we speak. That image messed up the text. Besides, the coding was pointless, it did nothing to my text. I would never go through so much work typing that, when it did nothing what-so-ever. --Universal Guardian 1003 01:23, May 9, 2011 (UTC)

I'll make a page off of my userpage as a test bed on the weird coding. -Universal Guardian 1003 01:30, May 9, 2011 (UTC)

IceBite's PokemonEdit

Hey, you think you can inspect any of my other Pokemon for problems? there's a list of them on my User Page. IceBite 18:54, May 9, 2011 (UTC)

I kinda don't HAVE a way to make images for them, hence the FFXII pictures. If I did have a way, I would make them a little more unique, but since I don't...... IceBite 13:24, May 11, 2011 (UTC)

I'm.....really not comfortable with that. I'm still stressing over the fact that, since my personal computer is infected, I can't put up an image for Tyranicadus. I much prefer having images that at least look simialr to the way I'll eventually make the Pokemon look. I'm sorry, but, as soon as my computer is up and running agai, I'll see what I can do to replace those images with ones that are more unique. Ok? (PLEASE?!) IceBite 18:05, May 11, 2011 (UTC)

Well, I just put in my articles that I will be making more unique pictures when I get the chance. Just consider the current ones 'place-holders' (especially Arcadius's).

Good News: I now have foil models of the new forms for Icthioniv and Larviko. Bad News: I cannot post them until I get my parents to let me use one of their webcams to take a picture of them, then I have to wait until my computer is virus-free so I can color them correctly and post them. IceBite 14:11, May 13, 2011 (UTC)
