TBD

This template:

• Turn images into left/right filenames (redirects) so they can switch for gf/tpc/whatever
• Add a "missing source" category if there's an artist but no source given for the credit
• Form parameter? (Is this useful? Useless? Sorta useful?)
• I'm ignoring special category sort keys for now because numbers (as GF/TPC art is named) should generally come before most things anyway, and/or we should make sure we have a solid handle on just what should be sorted specially, so that we don't just end up with "everything" in one needlessly big group.
  • For example, Category:Bulbasaur has 73 images before it gets back to normal sorting. That's not "good". If all 73 are that important, give them their own subcategory—or give everything else a subcategory. And/or we just need to be much more intentional about what truly "needs" to be prioritized.

Other considerations:

• Clean up Category:Official Pokémon artwork
• Make {{dwart}} only add Category:Pokémon Dream World artwork? Honestly I don't know if it even needs a banner. And/or I don't know if "Dream World" all by itself is that useful? or what. There's also PGL. {{arcadebadge}} and {{Spirit}} already apply to some DW images.
  • dwart was used for Category:Pokémon Dream World items... But that's all been replaced by {{GLitem}} (such as File:Dream Pecha Berry Sprite.png)
