hey, Michael.

I've recently added new pictures to Dorballom, Alphadios, Bolmeteus Samurai Dragon and Adge, Emperor of Dods but Adge has a different resoluion so i though you might change it. But more, I want to know if the new pictures, hints, trivia are ok. Yeah, but to be honest, I have no idea how to create a "good" card article.
 * Thats fine, the recent pictures have been a bit clearer. Im reverting the Adge one for the time being, until I can fix the god templates. Otherwise the other emperor of the gods seem too big in comparisan, ill have to play around with it. The other tips/trivia and stuff are fine. Updating the pictures arent on my top priority, as im more focused on fixing up missing card pages and also the promotional card page translations. Yami_Michael 13:47, April 29, 2010 (UTC)
 * Well, for the individual cards, it really isnt difficult, you just copy the text from Template:CardTable2 into a page, and like the page says, just fill in the values. If you want to play around with it, use http://duelmasters.wikia.com/wiki/User:Yami_Michael/TestforAlex. Just go that page, and edit away. If you want very simple pages to see the values just use the Original Heart, Ancient Blackmoon Fortress as it only has one set, and is fairly easy to understand. If you make any mistakes, I can always fix them so theres really no problem. Yami_Michael 15:15, April 29, 2010 (UTC)

test summary
well, i've finished a card template but there are some questionable things. First of all, when i need to add the card information, it counts if is in he first text field or the second (ex. mana:    1 mana:    cost:   3 cost:     ) because when i entered them in the first field, the result is something like: {{CardTable2|mana = 3|name = Diamond Sword|(jigsaw piece shape).
 * Thats weird, I dont know why that would happen honestly, havent seen it. I posted a second version of how I would of done the Diamond Sword card on the test page to show how I would of done it.
 * Another thing that really needs to be done is the categories. I basically do it by the main points on the card and sometimes in a specific order. Usually its either TCG + OCG for the earlier sets, or OCG and OCG only for later sets. Then the civilization. Then its the type of card like Spell/fortress/cross gear or evolution creature (if its a regular creature, skip it). Then I do the race if there is one, and other abilities like Double Breaker or G Zero...common things. And lastly theres also a power thing for creatures, so if they have 5000 power for example, it would be 5000 Power creatures.
 * It may sound like a bit of work, but the categories actually end up typing themselves once you do the first letter, so its pretty quick. Just look at other pages if you need to see how its done, every card page should have them. Yami_Michael 07:41, May 1, 2010 (UTC)
