::::::Show me in the rules where it says I ''have'' to web-together pages when I edit. I plan(ned) on finishing up the summaries for the entire anime series, and you can have the summaries without the links ''or'' you have the summaries with the links without the template ''or'' you don't have the summaries at all.

:::::::The templates are policy for a reason; by containing the links within small templates, page bytes are reduced, it makes our jobs easier when re-locating pages, and cuts down on links to disambiguation pages. | |||
:::::::We do appreciate your work writing these summaries, but if you're not going to correctly template and format them, you only give us more work; following behind your every edit and fixing your formatting. Time and edits that could be spent writing summaries in the correct format the first time around. | |||
:::::::I'm not asking you to memorize much, or completely re-learn coding. It's as simple as using <code><nowiki>{{p|Pikachu}} instead of [[Pikachu (Pokémon)|Pikachu]]</nowiki></code>, and so on. The link templates aren't hard to remember at all; if you can't remember one, it's not a huge deal, if you mess one up, not a big issue. But if you're going to completely ignore them because you prefer to do it Wikipedia style, then perhaps you'd be better off spending your time editing Wikipedia, rather then coming here and attempting to apply Wikipedia's style to Bulbapedia. | |||
:::::::And just an FYI, I'm personally a long-time editor of both Wikipedia and a few other MediaWiki sites, as well as an administrator on a few. I know what you mean when you say you've grown used to the normal link formatting. But you'll just have to trust me when I say that using the link templates here is not only easy, but in most instances, a good deal faster and simpler. | |||
:::::::Just do us a favor and try to use them. --[[user:Jioruji_Derako|<font color="#237d00"> '''J'''ïörüjï '''Ð'''ērākō.'''>'''</font>]]<small>[[user talk:Jioruji Derako|<font color="#237d00">''.cнаt'''''^'''</font>]]</small> 02:19, 4 January 2010 (UTC) | |||
