OK, so I've been a frequent visitor and not-so-frequent contributor to Bulbapedia for a long time now. One of my pet peeves is just how ugly the Team boxes look on a Gym Leader's or Elite Four's pages... They really stretch the page, and create unnecessary empty spaces. So I created an account for this forum to get this changed.
For example, look at Lucian's page before I made the change to the Party template... It looked like this:
http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Lucian&oldid=491225
(sorry, don't know how to hide links in text...)
Now look at how much better Lucian's page becomes after the change:
http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Lucian
This template was already in use, just in like three or four pages, but I think it's a much better one that the one used in every other Gym Leader and Elite Four page.
So, while I changed one, it's gonna be impossible for me to change all. So, basically, I posted this to propose to everyone that they help out change the old format into this newer, better one. =)
One last thing though, there is one problem with the Party template... It automatically gets the mini sprites in .gif, but since we don't have some of the 4th gen ones in something other than .png, they don't appear properly (see Gallade and Bronzong in Lucian's page). So, I'm not sure how the template could be changed to accept png's (I almost sure that we have all mini sprites in png's), or if it's just better to upload .gif versions of mini sprites. I have no idea how to change templates, so I would appreciate any help. =)
Any thoughts, help, and suggestion is appreciated =)
