{{u|TrainerSplash}} is adding incompleteness templates because some pages are missing Trainer models that don't seem different enough from the models we have to be considered notable. What do you think? --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 13:08, 23 May 2023 (UTC) | {{u|TrainerSplash}} is adding incompleteness templates because some pages are missing Trainer models that don't seem different enough from the models we have to be considered notable.

:I'd rather judge it when I can explicitly see every model in question. If there's a page that's "complete", let me know.

== Reformatting post-Dexit event pages == | |||
I asked Chosen but he referred me over to you as the new Head of Games, and I wanted to ask because this is something that Ive wanted to do for a while but never got any feedback over. But anyway, over a year ago, I made a [[talk:List of serial code event Pokémon distributions (Generation VIII)|proposal on the Gen 8 event distribution talk page]] to reformat the Nintendo Switch event pages. Instead of continuing to list events by distribution matter, given the state of the current main series games, I think its more beneficial to list Nintendo Switch event pages based on the game the event was distributed to. | |||
Basically I see 2 standout benefits for doing this: | |||
* 1 - It would make it simpler and more manageable to read when seeing what events you can obtain on a game specifically, in an era where a lot of Event Pokémon aren't compatible with other games of the same generation, and the event distributions themselves needing different templates due to game specific mechanics and coding quirks, it makes it easier to separate this information. (this wasn't a thing before LGPE, Gen-7 and before all events of the same generation shared a template format which allowed for the same coded Pokémon to be distributed in ORAS as in XY for example). | |||
* 2 - Distribution methods are basically reduced to being 90% serial code and password based these days, and the other distribution methods are all basically the same in terms of their execution, so that leaves us with 1 very long page and a few other lists that barely have a handful of events on them. Just combining all the SwSh events on 1 list still makes a slightly smaller list than the current page with all gen 8 serial code events, but above all the lists would be more relevant to readers who just want to see just what was available in their game specifically. | |||
Since it is a bit of a change to do this, I think it would be better to seek approval first, before unilaterally implementing such a reshuffle but nobody has commented on the talk page either so can you maybe see? I put pages on my user space (See: [[User:4iamking/List of event Pokémon distributions (Sword and Shield)|SwSh]] / [[User:4iamking/List of event Pokémon distributions (Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl)|SwSh]]/ [[User:4iamking/List of event Pokémon distributions (Legends: Arceus)|LA]]) just to simulate what the gen 8 lists would look like, though I think we should really be doing this for gen 9 as well, and move the LGPE list for name consistancy if it gets approved. | |||
Haven't been very successful thus far in getting any sort of response from anyone really on the wiki so I was wondering what you think... | |||
