I noticed you deleted my trivia entry on Luxray GL Lv.X.  I don't know how you'll feel about this, but I need to ask you since you're the head of Project TCG and this would be a fairly major undertaking.  Would it be acceptable to you if we were to put a "Deck archetypes" section under the trivia section on all TCG pages?  In that, we could provide a link to any deck archetype the card was featured in (this would result in a lot of red links, but also some important wanted pages) along with a very short description of the card's role in the deck.  I think it's important to mention what archetypes a particular card is featured in on its page.  At the very least, if can help kid with that card look at what they could do with it.  I clearly really need to get back into the swing of things, and a simple, large-scale project like that might help a lot.  Hope you're of the same mindset.  Let me know what you think, I believe it's a pretty good idea.  Thanks.  --[[User:Politoed666|<span style="color:#00B7EB">''P''</span> <span style="color:#008080">''o''</span>]] [[User talk:Politoed666|<span style="color:#0095B6">''L''</span> <span style="color:#00CCCC">''i''</span>]] 15:13, 29 July 2010 (UTC)

:I thought you just made a large scale redirect project in order to get you back into the swing of things. How'd that turn out for you? Not well. Sadly, archetypes are as official as fan sites, hack games and walkthroughs. I've been coming up with a plan with what to do with them, but, unfortunately, there isn't much we can do from the informative view point that it must be in. I'm open to more suggestions, but what it currently is will no longer work...

::Actually, the redirect project went very smoothly.  I decided against going through with redirects to every card followed by the set abbreviation, but... there are redirects to every set from the official and unofficial set abbreviations, redirects to every ex, redirects to every Lv.X, every Prime, and almost every * (sort of forgot about the last one  :P).  So yeah, I'd say the redirect project was a success.  As for the archetypes being as official as fansites... that's true, since they're primarily fan-created, but they're a lot more important than fansites for a variety of reasons.  Archaic described the importance of archetype articles on the forums awhile back when you said something similar, but now unfortunately I can't find the post.  I'll ask him to re-state his position on it, since he can put it better than I can.  And what sort of ideas are you having?  --[[User:Politoed666|<span style="color:#00B7EB">''P''</span> <span style="color:#008080">''o''</span>]] [[User talk:Politoed666|<span style="color:#0095B6">''L''</span> <span style="color:#00CCCC">''i''</span>]] 14:59, 30 July 2010 (UTC)
