A template for the summary of WTP & Dare da, however, is a great idea and I am glad you have made a mock-up in the userspace to get the idea rolling. :3 - [[User:Kogoro|'''<span class="sc" style="color:#DA70D6;">Kogoro</span>''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''<span class="sc" style="color:#FFB6C1;">Talk to me</span>''']] - 14:25, 8 April 2012 (UTC)

Thank you for the feedback, Kogoro! As you suggested, I changed the template to be more informative. My new template includes a switch for Dare da?, a if-switch for instances such as [[:File:Dare da EP018.png|Brutella]] and [[:File:Dare da EP154.png|Ash's Noctowl]], and a parameter for the episode in question. The only problem I seem to be having with this version is getting the Category for parameter two, the Pokémon, to appear automatically. I had it set so that it wouldn't appear if the subject parameter was used, but now it won't bring it up when it's needed. - [[User:Chosen|<span style="color:#F85888">Chosen</span>]] <span style="color:#6890F0">of</span> [[User talk:Chosen|<span style="color:#F8D030">Mana</span>]] 16:48, 8 April 2012 (UTC)

Thoughts

I don't really like this template, least in the current format. It's cute and all, but it doesn't really work as a file summary:

  1. The text is not informative enough: It needs to say which episode the WTP is from, even if the filename already does so.
  2. The text is not in a file summary style: While I like the cuteness of, "Who's That Pokémon? It's Pikachu!" it just doesn't fit.
  3. I think it would look better with the menu sprites rather than the current battle sprites: With each generation, since Gen II, the battle sprites have been getting exponentially larger. They really make a lot of templates larger than they need to be.

A template for the summary of WTP & Dare da, however, is a great idea and I am glad you have made a mock-up in the userspace to get the idea rolling. :3 - Kogoro - Talk to me - 14:25, 8 April 2012 (UTC)
