Hello friends! One of the things we have been discussing in cc-staff recently is enhancing the format pages on the dex; they're a great, easy link to share with people, can make forum resources much more accessible for users that aren't familiar with forums, and long term we hope to integrate with Chatot and PS! more effeciently.
To the last point, and to also make maintaining them more straightforward, I wanted to start a conversation about standardizing what the format page looks like. This will make integration much easier when it happens, and hopefully make maintaining the page easier for C&C moderators.
As a starting point, Isaiah and I have made a first pass at the AAA format page to try and make the resources and important links easily visible and accessable, even for users that may not be familar with how Smogon or PS! chatrooms work.
Questions for y'all:
Is the presentation good? Can it be improved while still being easily parsable for future integration?
Are there other, common resource types that should be standardized? Non-standard resources can absolutely be included in the format page as well, they just may not be called out specifically in future integration efforts.
Are there any challenges you currently have with maintaining the dex page? Any improvements, technical or policy, that would make it easier to do so?
This is meant to be open ended, so if you have any feedback on this idea, please feel free to bring up anything and everything!
