Images of Missing Cards

Please do not upload any of the missing images for old cards. We already have them; they just need to be imported. MadRest (talkcontribs) 16:55, 11 May 2023 (UTC)

Restoring categories

Hi, Jyojyo78. When recreating categories from the data loss, please refrain from creating empty pages. Each category is meant to be part of another category, and by making them empty, we will lose track of what needs to be restored or not. Try using the Wayback Machine to see which categories the category you're creating belonged to. GMTails (talkcontribs) 00:54, 17 June 2023 (UTC)

I apologize. I will do that now on.
To add to this a bit: creating blank category pages is unhelpful; at a minimum, a category page needs a brief description of the category's purpose, and at least one parent category for it. If you aren't able to fill in one or both of these, it's fine to leave the category page uncreated for now (in particular, there are a number of categories that were never created before the database loss, so there isn't actually anything to restore). Uncreated category pages are listed on Special:WantedCategories, but if they are created blank they become somewhat more annoying to track - categories that aren't categorized are listed on Special:UncategorizedCategories, but categories that are categorized but have no description aren't listed anywhere, and therefore have to be found by hand. ディノ千?!☎ Dinoguy1000 06:58, 17 June 2023 (UTC)

Alt names/references

If you can't find the source of an alt name, the preferred thing to do is to simply remove them. Adding references/notes saying "unknown" isn't helpful for anyone. ディノ千?!☎ Dinoguy1000 07:04, 17 June 2023 (UTC)
