User talk:BAC510

Welcome

Welcome to Bulbapedia, BAC510!

As a new user, you may wish to learn a few things that will be useful in your editing:

• For a basic overview of wiki code, see this page.
• The manual of style is very important. Make sure to read it. It outlines all official policies of Bulbapedia.
• The word Pokémon is spelled with a capital P and an accented é. The P, of course, is accessed easily by holding Shift and pressing the P key, while the é can be accessed using Alt + 130 or Alt + 0233 on a Windows computer, and Option + e, then e again on a Mac. Otherwise, you can click it in the character palette below the editbox.
• The word Poké Ball is spelled as two words. The "Poké" part is identical to the four beginning letters in "Pokémon"; "Ball" is spelled with a captial B (which is, again, accessed by holding Shift and pressing the B key). The spelling "Pokéball" arises frequently, but is incorrect.
• The word "you" and all forms of it should not be used on encyclopedic pages unless it is a quote from Pokémon media. Bulbapedia is an encyclopedia, not a walkthrough.
• On talk pages, please sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).
• The use of link templates is official policy. For an explanation on their use, see the page on shortlinks.
• If you happen to spot a vandal in the recent changes that has not been dealt with, please see this page for how to deal with it.
• A list of pages that are linked to, but have not been created, can be found at this page. A list of short articles that may require more information can be found here, while a list of articles that need improvement can be found here.
• A list of the admins that you can contact in case of a problem, can be found here.

Thank you, and have a good time editing here! Tina ^δ♫ 23:08, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

Episodes

We don't link by episode title. We link italicized by episode code, with the text being the title. Team Shocker!. TTEchidna 21:29, 19 April 2009 (UTC)

Protected pages

The only people who can edit those are administrators. If you ever come across something like this, leave a new comment on the article's talk page with the header "edit request". Thanks. — THE TROM — 03:16, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

Link Templates

Please use link templates when linking to stuff such as Pokémon names, attacks, and the like. For example, {{p|Chikorita}} instead of just [[Chikorita]]. This is so you don't unintentionally link to a disambiguation page.

For a full crash course on link templates, look at the list of link templates. --^Psychic_Rider^☮ 20:27, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
