Re: Move pages...

Right, I know I haven't made pages for them all yet, but I figured we might as well decide what we are going to do with them? D:
First of all, I'd like to keep attacks that appear in multiple games with the same translated name, on the same page with sections for each game. *nod* This will keep all of the information organized and easy to navigate, and removes the need for a whole lot of redirects and disambiguation pages. D:<
The thing is, while moves might have the same translated name, the japanese is spelled differently between games, so we will have to list the kana and romaji seperately for each game. D: The best way to do this is have a move infobox in each section of the page... Like so:
This will also let us include a screenshot of the move being used in each game, and keep the information game-specific (Only T1 moves have bootleg names, T2 moves have types, Bugsite attacks have makers and types, Dino Device attacks have very little information).
It would be extremely stylish to design these all slightly differently, but rather than filling "Infobox Move" up with mountains of code to make it work, I'd like it if we could make simple templates that each work for one game? *nod* Also, if it says "(game icon) move" at the top of each infobox, there's no need to have a section for "found in" inside the box....*nod*
Besides that, uh... The "effects" part of the current infobox is a bit broken, and there needs to be a space between the kana and romaji? D: Also, we now have the base attack powers for T1, so it would be nice to work those in... As well as something that says whether the attack is Denma or not, for T1 and T2.
Maybe someone who is good at designing stylish tables can redesign each of these to include the necessary bits, and maybe make them colour-coded to match the proper game? (like, white/yellow/brown for T1, white/yellow/blue for T2, dark/green for Bugsite, something like that? >_>) All of you are still much better at templates and tables than I ever will be, is all... ;_; I'll gladly go through and add the descriptions and whatnot to each of the move pages, though. *nod*
So... What do you think? >__>
