The Preview Button

Instead of editing a page several times in a row, try using the preview button to make sure your edit looks the way you want it to. It's right next to the Save Page button. Please try it out, so as not to clog up the Recent Changes. Also, if you want to edit multiple sections of the page, make sure that you click "edit this page" at the top of the page rather than editing it by section. Thanks! --Landfish7 06:47, 17 June 2022 (UTC)

Understood, I was using the preview option, but I would often receive an error when trying to preview, or when I went to submit my changes, causing me to lose my progress. Apologies if it accidentally submitted multiple times, I'll be backing up my progress and trying to submit only once per edit until the backend issues on Bulbapedia are resolved. Atrius97 (talk) 15:15, 17 June 2022 (UTC)
Again, please try to remember to use the preview button. Making too many edits in a short period of time can stress the server. Thank you. Landfish7 18:13, 9 July 2022 (UTC)
I am aware, I was making edits to more than one section of a page, and the edits made were updating the page as new information became available from active tests that were being performed on the mechanic in question, tests which took place over the course of several hours. I was not intentionally clogging the recent changes with "random, needlessly small updates" these edits were already the result of waiting for a given set of tests to be completed before adding new information, but I will make an effort to further consolidate updates going forward. Atrius97 (talk) 22:23, 9 July 2022 (UTC)
If you read my initial message, it says that you can edit multiple sections of a page by clicking "edit this page" at the top.
And there's no need to rush to add in new information. In the future, I'd suggest waiting for the wave of updates to complete and then add them in. If the updates span multiple days and you just can't wait, I'd suggest trying to make no more than 1 or 2 edits each day if possible. Alternatively, you can work on an update and copy and save the wikitext to Notepad on your PC, and then copy it back over when you're ready to work on it again. Hope this helps.

Your comment on my talk page

Please remember the code of conduct. Leaving a snarky comment on my page about how I changed my mind and had to undo an edit just because you're mad that I reminded you to use the preview button is not nice or necessary. There is a difference between undoing a few of your own edits and making 9 edits within 3 hours to a single page like you did the other day. We all make mistakes and end up having to make a few more edits than necessary every now and then, and I have no problem with discussing my edits in good faith, but there's no reason to be rude. Landfish7 06:01, 11 July 2022 (UTC)

I don't think it's unreasonable to point out that making edits to 4 separate pages and then reverting all of those edits approximately 25 minutes later for a total of 8 edits in 50 minutes is unnecessary, when one could have simply paused for a moment to about whether those changes were needed instead. I'm not emotionally involved in the situation. If you feel the need to lecture other users about making hasty changes, then please set a better example with your own editing behavior. Atrius97 (talk) 06:26, 11 July 2022 (UTC)
Splitting what could have been 4 edits into 8 is not the same as splitting what could have been 1 edit into 9. Yes, I could have taken more time and thought about my edits, but, as I just said, we all make mistakes and end up having to make a few more edits than necessary every now and then. But I was not "lecturing" you. I gave you good faith advice about how to reduce the number of edits you make. You didn't give me advice, you just wanted to make a point. Letting a user know your concerns about their edits, or giving advice about how to improve their edits is normal and encouraged. But the code of conduct states: "Do not use insults, demanding language, or harassment to make a point or advance an argument." Landfish7 06:50, 11 July 2022 (UTC)
I apologize if I came off as snarky, but be aware that "good faith advice" can come off as hypocritical when one is given that advice on their talk page from another user, then goes out of their way to copypaste that advice to others, while still actively showing behavior contrary to that advice. Context is important. Atrius97 (talk) 07:20, 11 July 2022 (UTC)
The Preview button template is a standard warning template created as an easy way to introduce new users to the preview button. It is encouraged to help new users learn what the preview button is and why it is important. I received a warning because I had made 8 edits to a single page. I have been an editor on this wiki since 2009 and I don't typically do something like that, and I had not received a warning about it in 13 years. I explained my edits and we both moved on. I didn't start scrutinizing that user's edits and come harrass them any time they also made a mistake. I am allowed, encouraged, and will continue to remind new users about the preview button while being mindful myself of my own edits. I will mess up. I am human. Have some grace. Please feel free to share your concerns with my edits and I will be happy to discuss them. But please be nice about it. Landfish7 07:44, 11 July 2022 (UTC)

Yo

Okay, so about that Wurmple evolution thing.

Just because Goomy can evolve into two different form of Sliggoo doesn't really mean that it has branched evolutions. Regardless of what form Goomy evolves into (whether its Kalosian Sliggoo or Hisuian Sliggoo), it always evolves into the same Pokémon: Sliggoo. So Wurmple is the only Pokémon with branched evolutions that can both evolve.Eternium-Z (talk) 21:23, 3 October 2022 (UTC)

Except that's not the definition of a Pokémon with branched evolutions. If you look at the List of Pokémon with branched evolutions page, there are multiple examples where a Pokemon can evolve into two different forms of the same species. Unless you would like to gut that page and remove any Pokemon that "has branched evolutionary path that leads to two forms of the same species" to retroactively change the definition, that trivia remains false. Atrius97 (talk) 22:06, 3 October 2022 (UTC)
Can we at least state that they are both the only Pokémon with this trait?Eternium-Z (talk) 07:54, 4 October 2022 (UTC)
If that were true, it wouldn't be unique and therefore it would not be notable as trivia, and it is already noted on the List of Pokémon with branched evolutions page. Landfish7 08:10, 4 October 2022 (UTC)

Redirect links

Please avoid making redirect links. For example: instead of [[gift|gifted]], write {{pkmn2|gift}}ed, and instead of [[Shiny]], write {{Shiny}}. Thank you. --FinnishPokéFan92 (talk) 09:02, 4 October 2022 (UTC)

Noted, I will try to remember and use that style going forward. Atrius97 (talk) 09:58, 4 October 2022 (UTC)
Thank you. Much appreciated. --FinnishPokéFan92 (talk) 10:12, 4 October 2022 (UTC)
Oh, and I believe the asterisks (*) on your Shinylock notes are unnecessary. --FinnishPokéFan92 (talk) 10:14, 4 October 2022 (UTC)
Most of the time I've been mimicking the style and formatting I had found on other pages/the page I'm working on, so apologies if I've accidentally propagated something that doesn't quite fit the style, I can go back and fix them up as I find them. Atrius97 (talk) 11:26, 4 October 2022 (UTC)

Doctor Oz 2022

 As a child, I grew up just a few miles south of Kennett Square, the mushroom capital of the world. This fact was never lost on my father who would often say, “don’t be a mushroom.” By that, he meant: don’t sit in the dark and be fed manure your whole life, just to get canned at the end of it all.
 I learned a lot from my father who grew up on a dirt floor in Turkey. His story demonstrated how lucky I was to be born and raised in America: the land of freedom, opportunity, and justice for all. It was he and my mother who taught me that America was the shining city on the hill and that through hard work, perseverance, and a little bit of luck, I could achieve my own version of the American Dream.
 After graduating from medical and business school in Philadelphia, I operated on thousands of patients and invented a tool to fix heart valves that has saved many lives while cutting medical costs. And, as a television host, I focused on empowering individuals to take control of their own health and pursue their dreams.
 However, for many across our country, it seems like the shining city has grown a little dim as of late. People feel like they no longer have agency over their lives, no choice in their communities, and no say in the increasingly radical policies coming out of Washington. All the while, hardworking Pennsylvanians are being told they can’t say what they see happening all around them.
 In short, people feel like they’re being kept in the dark and being fed manure.
 I’m running for the United States Senate to turn the lights back on in America. That’s the first thing I do in the operating room, and it’s how we’ll start shining a light on what’s wrong with our country.
 Over the past two years – under the Joe Biden and John Fetterman agenda, violent crime has surged in our communities. Just last year, Philadelphia broke its all-time homicide record with 562 deaths, and is maintaining that pace so far this year with more than 400 homicides and over 1,000 carjackings for the first time ever.
 The rise in violent crime has to stop, but far-left radical extremists like my opponent, John Fetterman, would make it worse by putting criminals ahead of victims and law-abiding citizens. John Fetterman has also advocated for disarming the police and releasing of one-third of Pennsylvania’s inmate population – including violent first- and second-degree murderers.
 Worse yet, John Fetterman has supported decriminalizing drugs like heroin and fentanyl, which have already poisoned too many of Pennsylvania’s youth. Such radical policies have no place in Pennsylvania, especially when we have the fourth highest number of fentanyl deaths in the country.
 To tackle crime, I will vote to fund our police and support communities with the resources they need to stop crime and ensure vulnerable populations have the help they need. I’ve been endorsed by the Pennsylvania State Troopers Association, the Pennsylvania Fraternal Order of Police, and the Philadelphia Fraternal Order of Police because they know I am committed to making our commonwealth safer for everyone.
 But even if we had safer streets, 40 year high inflation is still crushing the middle and working classes and driving down real wages. Over the last two years, the cost of living in Pennsylvania has skyrocketed, gas prices have gone through the roof, and simple necessities like baby formula have become harder to get than fentanyl in our cities.
 My opponent, John Fetterman, will be a rubber stamp for Joe Biden’s failing policies and make these problems worse. John Fetterman has advocated for a moratorium on Pennsylvania’s natural gas production, which he calls a stain on Pennsylvania, and he believes more government is the solution along with more tax-and-spend schemes. Together, these policies will rob our working class of their financial security and economic freedom, causing stress and illness.
 In the U.S. Senate, I will fight to lower inflation and cut taxes. I will work to make Pennsylvania a leader in energy production, decrease healthcare costs while improving outcomes, and provide better schools with more choice. I will give power back to you, because you are the best person so make decisions about your family and home.
 I believe we can solve these challenges together and help those who have been hurt the most. Pennsylvania can be a leader in Washington for the rest of the country, but we need bold leadership with fresh ideas – not the same radical politics that have gotten us to this point.
