New Template
I think that we need a template saying that an article needs an image. Or more images than it currently has. Here is a template that I made:
The bottom of the template will have {{{doc|[[Category:Articles in need of images|{{PAGENAME}}]]}}} , so that the page will be added to [[Category:Articles in need of images]].
It may need some different wording, and a different image. What do you think?

- Well, I like the idea, and it is something wikipedia does. Let's just be careful that the images that get added are relevant and good quality. Also, we don't need six different pictures of the same attack hitting different characters on different stages. Clarinet Hawk (talk · contributions) 15:18, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
So, should I go ahead and make the template? --Posted by Pikamander2 (Talk) at 13:44, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
- This is not the place to discuss potential new templates, this is the talk page for the Main Page. That said, the colors on the template make it pretty unreadable. I don't like the idea of using colors for the sake of making things colorful; we should have a system like Wikipedia where the colors associated with each template have some sort of meaning (distinguishing, for example, "this article can be enhanced" vs. "this article is lacking important details" vs. "this article is factually incorrect") --Kirby King 00:47, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
Spelling
Hi. I'd just like to comment about the spelling on the main page. The main page is the first thing new visitors see when they enter this site. If many words are spelled incorrectly, the new visitor may already have a bad impression of the site. I'm talking about the "Note to all Users" section, in which many words are spelled wrong. I'm just asking that when you edit the main page, make sure you spell words right. Thanks! swannie

- Here's a idea: Next time actually say what words are misspelled. Oh, and last time I check one is not equal to many. Clarinet Hawk (talk · contributions) 19:06, 31 July 2008 (UTC)
Featured Article (Pikachu)
It says he's the only Pokemon aside from Jigglypuff to appear in all three games, but Charizard did, too. JalYt-Xil-Vimescarrot 08:58, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
- Charizard isn't playable until Brawl. That was the point of the comment. Clarinet Hawk (talk · contributions) 13:13, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
- Okay. But it quite clearly says appear; nothing about playability. As it is now, it's wrong. JalYt-Xil-Vimescarrot 14:44, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
