User blog:Roads/Important Page Creation Portal Note

Okay. The Page Creation Portal seemed to be a good idea at first, but it got tons of negative feedback. Since I don't want to look like Wikia staff when they roll out some new, useless thing, this blog was created.

So, here is the update: it is no longer mandatory. You can choose whether or not to use it, but your pages will soon be reformatted as much as possible. They will be tagged with the Reformat template (and removing it isn't allowed).

By "as much as possible", I mean using as much info as there is. And the layouts are no longer ultra-strict. You can remove or add some sections as desired, yet not removing the basic section formatting (that's the infobox template, picture placement, etc.).

Also, pictures (except the one in the infobox) are supposed to be placed in the gallery at the bottom. In addition, some people don't even remove the comments!

So, although the Page Creation Portal is no longer mandatory, your pages will still be reformatted to at least resemble the normal layout. That is all.
