Template talk:PokePage
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is a template composed of several other templates that was created to impose uniformity among the large number of pokemon species articles. This will solve the disparity found between articles like Torchic, Gloom, and Arbok. Additionally, by using templates for section headers, if it is ever decided that the header is inaccurate or inappropriate, the changes can be made to all pokemon species articles at once.

[edit] Usage
Using this template will recreate any similarly named headers in an article. As of right now, you have to first implement the template, save, then move the existing data into appropriate sections.
[edit] What you type
To use the template type:
{{subst:pokestart=|
smashinfo=|
otherMedia=|
tcg=|
manga=|
culture=|
}}
[edit] How to use the variables
If you would like to use a section, type something between the "=" and the pipe. If this pokemon is featured in the Super Smash Bros. series:
smashinfo=anything|
It doesn't really matter what you type, the template doesn't use the variable's value for anything.
The template is designed to work out the hierarchy automatically depending on if you use the "otherMedia" parameter.
otherMedia=y| tcg=| manga=y| culture=| }}
yields
==Other media header== ===Manga header===
and
otherMedia=| tcg=y| manga=y| culture=y| }}
yields
==TCG header== ==Manga header== ==Culture header==
Please refer to WP:PCP/S for details regarding which headers you should use.
[edit] After you save
The template will also add a See also section. Which contains List of Pokémon items, Pokémon game mechanics, and Pokémon types. Other, relevant pages should be added to this (e.g. Video game controversy would be aprropriate attached to the Jynx (Pokémon) article.
Do not change the headers to {{subst:foo}}. Doing that will render the templates pointless.
