No, it's not. "Lame" pages are those where the creator not only fails to provide screencaps, but also fails to follow format. Creating a page that is in proper format, but lacking screencaps, is acceptable, provided it's done well.

This is site is way too un-userfriendly. I really have no idea how to create a page in the proper formatting. There's no 'How to' or 'Introduction' page thatI can see anywhere, not even in the forum.

You make that easier to do and you'll get less requests of people asking other people to make pages for them. And people who make lame pages will have their pages corrected much quicker by people who know better.

Yeah I didn't really know what I was doing when I first started. I started making small edits on pages. Once I figured out how to screencap. I contact another user, Gunmaster45. He uploaded the images for me and put them on the page. He told me to write the text, once I did that. I could upload images, put the page and all that good stuff.

There really does need to be a tutorial. But I'm not if any user wants to go through all that.

The best way to start to make pages is to hit "Edit" on any page that's done in proper formatting (and we do describe what "proper formatting" constitutes in the Rules section), and examine the code. That's how I learned, at least. Also, if you need help, you can always ask for it on here.

Anyway, requesting pages is basically demanding that other people do the work for you. It's one thing to ask for help, but insisting other people take on the burden is not reasonable to ask.

There are many others who have or had this problem, I use to be one of them.

Also Manny.
Don't follow POI advice to just start clicking around.

I breezed through it, is there anything about uploading images and putting them on pages? That use to be my main problem. Editing text ain't shit.
