Welcome to Bulbapedia, ?8!

By creating your account you are now able to edit pages, join discussions, and expand the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia. Before you jump in, here are some ground rules:

  • Be nice to everyone. It's in the code of conduct.
  • Make good edits. Preview them before you save to make sure they're perfect the first time around.
  • Use wikicode and link templates when adding content to a page.
  • Use proper grammar and spelling, and read the manual of style.
  • You can't create a userpage until you've added to the encyclopedia. It's a privilege. See the userspace policy.
  • Use talk pages to resolve editing disputes. Don't "edit war," or constantly re-edit/undo the same thing on a page.
  • If you have a question about something, be proactive. Take a look at our FAQ. If you're still stuck, ask for help. The staff won't bite.
  • Sign all talk page posts with four tildes (~~~~). This will turn into your name and the time you wrote the comment.
  • For more handy links, see the welcome portal.
Thank you, and have a good time editing here!

Template

New templates should be run by a member of staff before it is mainspaced and put into use. This is especially true for notice templates that has the potential for high use. In light of this, your template has been deleted. Feel free to create the template in your userspace first next time and we will look at it. Thank you. --Pokemaster97 23:16, 15 January 2014 (UTC)

Gender confirmation

Since you've done this repeatedly, I thought I should clarify things for you. If a Pokémon first appeared in the anime prior to its gender differences being introduced in-game, it cannot be said to be definitely one gender or the other based on appearance, since there were no gender differences at that time. When articles say that a specific Pokémon's gender was confirmed "only in-game", it specifically means that the Pokémon was available in the games (either by promotional download or in the possession of an NPC) and had its gender confirmed there. If a Pokémon has not appeared in the games, it is completely wrong to say its gender was confirmed in the games, because it did not appear in the games.

Undubbed template

It seems you were already informed that templates must be reviewed by staff before being used in the mainspace. Even if the template is in your userspace, this does not mean you immediately have the okay to add it to articles if not a single staff member has said anything.

Sorry, I just unintentionally put them there so that administrators would know of the template's presence. ?8 (talk) 22:44, 24 January 2014 (UTC)
There are other ways to do that, such as contacting a staff member directly or using the talk page of one of the articles. Templates that have potential for high amount of use need to be approved by staff before being used in mainspace articles. Schiffy (瀬藤健二) (Talk Contribs) 01:24,1/25/2014 (UTC)
Really? Well, I did put the links of the two templates I constructed out on my userpage. ?8 (talk) 00:20, 27 January 2014 (UTC)
