==Size reduction==

I don't know when this was suggested but I will get the ball rolling. It's hardly surprising that it's gotten so large as it covers merch from four years ago to the present day, and is still expanding.

First thought is to divide into years and subdivide into seasons.

Or create a new list of the Pokémon Center monthlies.

Or divide into sets, or just create new articles for the longest entries.  [[User:Finger|Finger]] ([[User talk:Finger|talk]]) 01:24, 28 October 2023 (UTC)

:As this size reduction involves a complete overhaul of the way the TCG merchandise is represented on the website, it's something that will involve a significant amount of planning. If you have any ideas, feel free to post them, but a project this large will most likely involve a staff enacted plan to ensure it's completed in a way that's best for the website.

::Seeing Scarlet & Violet merch grow quickly now too, I agree some action needs to be taken. I think the division into sets, years and/or seasons may unnecessarily complicate things w.r.t. watching pages and keeping track of creating new extra pages for merchandise. Additionally, many of merch are not set-specific so it might be awkward to try to squeeze them in as such.
::My idea is to divide the merch by merch type. It would mean a structured set of new pages that replace the current merch page. Additionally, I think it makes most sense to browse merch by type.
::We would just need to establish sensible merch types to go along with.
::Please let me know how to best discuss and move forward on this. Maybe Discord is a better place? (note I'm yoctozepto there)
