Ideas and questions

Ideas / random thoughts (please challenge if they're dumb):

1. Some of the translations are just weird, or do not seem to be translations at all (but fan designators??). I have no idea about that, so I'm just gonna go with CycloneGU mostly, much like you did.
   1. For Electric Selfdestruct Deck, see User talk:Nescientist#TCG2 Deck Names
2. I just "verified" the translations you asked for, many of which are old articles. They've all been at least "okay". (I was basically being very lenient, as above, cause I believe moving those should have a better reason than slightly more accurate translation.)
3. If an article exists on the Japanese wiki (or any partner wiki), an interwiki link should be added (even if the page is to be moved)
4. I think it should always be in the opening paragraph who plays this and how the deck is available (it's too important for trivia imo)
5. Decks should be linked to in every article they're mentioned (which should always be at least one article)
6. Ideally, GR1 deck articles should also have the Japanese name in the lead
7. It's helpful how you're using edit summaries for transparency; anyway, you can actually use [[ ]] links in edit summaries (rather than URLs)

Questions:

1. What's your plan for the Auto Deck Machine article? (Me: Sooner rather than later?)
2. You proposed several decks for moving, apparently because of User:CycloneGU/Sandbox. For example, the Japanese name for Electric Fire Deck literally reads "Electric Fire Deck", so why should they be moved elsewhere? Am I missing something? Should they really be moved (in your opinion)? (May the Auto Deck Machine 1 translations just be rubbish?)

I'll be doing interwikis right now, and maybe some optimization (e.g. moving stuff out of trivia) if I find something along the way. Nescientist (talk) 14:06, 5 January 2020 (UTC)

And I just noticed that some of the translations cause problems. Poison Bee Deck is actually Remaining Green Deck, for example. Could you check if there are other such cases (probably list them on the userpage), and make sure you won't create new pages for pages that can be moved instead?

I guess I'm about to check what I just asked you to check "along the way". Also, I'm removing "is not available from the Auto Deck Machine"; if you think I shouldn't, feel free to just say so. Nescientist (talk) 16:21, 5 January 2020 (UTC)

Apparently it was only Poison Bee/Remaining Green, so I've suggested the one you created be removed. (It can be moved later.) Also, FYI, I've stopped removing "not available from the Auto Deck Machine". Nescientist (talk) 17:15, 5 January 2020 (UTC)

I think I'm done. かわらのおさんぽデッキ, じごくのベンチデッキ, and とってもレアカードデッキ do have pages at the Japanese wiki, but I found no mention of them here (or elsewhere on Bulbapedia), so maybe you're still missing them (the first and second appear to be related to Aaron, the third Ishihara)

And the Ghost Masters' decks have their own pages, not sure if you wanna give them here. Good luck! Nescientist (talk) 18:38, 5 January 2020 (UTC)
