User talk:Hamfart

Welcome to Bulbapedia, Hamfart!

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!   Pumpkinking0192 (talk) 16:45, 6 September 2016 (UTC)

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! --Tiddlywinks (talk) 20:03, 6 September 2016 (UTC)

Since you seem to frequently be returning to an edit you've already made to a page today, I'd like to suggest that perhaps making more use of the preview button, and taking your time a bit, would help you avoid the necessity for that. Thanks! Tiddlywinks (talk) 15:22, 1 December 2016 (UTC)

Sun/Moon information

As a rule, please refrain from adding Sun and Moon information like Pokemon availability and level up moves at this point. Everything is still prerelease, so these things may not be accurate to the released game. I hope you can understand. Thanks! Tiddlywinks (talk) 20:03, 6 September 2016 (UTC)

Please stop adding pre-release information that is subject to change. Continually making edits that have been reverted constitutes as edit warring, which is a blockable offense. --Carmen★ (Talk | contribs) 20:33, 6 September 2016 (UTC)

Once more, please do not try to add this sort of Sun/Moon info. If you continue to disregard this request, you may be facing a block. Tiddlywinks (talk) 01:42, 7 September 2016 (UTC)

Blocked until release date

Since it appears you will not be stopping, I have decided to block you, on the grounds edit warring, until the games are released. Please understand that we do not want any pre-release information on the pages as the information may change once the game is released. Thank you.--ForceFire 05:09, 7 September 2016 (UTC)

Userspace limits

Hello. I have noticed that you have been editing the User: namespace a lot recently, and have made a total of 4+ userspace edits today. Please do not edit the userspace any more, as the userspace policy limits the amount you can edit your userpage: No more than three edits per day (by UTC), and you must contribute to the mainspace more than you edit your user page(s). This policy was instated to promote people helping out in the mainspace, and also to control strain on our servers. Bulbapedia is an encyclopedia, after all, so help us out by contributing to some articles before coming back to your personal page(s). The more often you edit in the mainspace, the more you will be allowed to edit your user page(s). Thank you. --Tiddlywinks (talk) 16:45, 1 December 2016 (UTC)

Please pay attention to your talk page, and/or follow our requets: do not edit your user page further today. Thank you. Tiddlywinks (talk) 17:02, 1 December 2016 (UTC)

Userspace editing

Once again, it appears that you have gone over the userspace limit by making a total of 14 userspace edits today. Please keep in mind that the userspace editing limit is no more than three edits per day (by UTC), with the requirement of making at least one more constructive mainspace edit than userspace edits you make. Continued violations of the userspace policy may result in your userspace privileges being revoked. Thank you. --Carmen★ (Talk | contribs) 17:20, 1 December 2016 (UTC)

A few things

Hello, this message will serve as your final warning to please make use of the preview button that can be located at he bottom of every edit screen near the save page button. If you fail to make use of the preview button from this point forward, you will be put in the "Force-preview" usergroup, where you will automatically have to preview before you are able to submit any edits. Being knowledgeable of this tool will help you avoid making too many edits to pages and going over the userspace limits for examples. Continuing to ignore talk messages will only make things progressively difficult for you. Please keep this in mind while you edit in the future. Thanks. --Pokemaster97 18:38, 1 December 2016 (UTC)

Force preview

Hello, as you continue to make multiple edits to one page rather than making one full edit, you have been placed in force preview. You must preview your edits to ensure they are good to go the first time and that you don't have to make more smaller edits, regardless of if it doesn't clog up the recent changes. The editorial board will decide when to take you out of force preview. Thank you.--ForceFire 14:05, 2 December 2016 (UTC)

Userspace restrictions

Yet again, it appears that you have gone over the userspace limit by making a total of 5 userspace edits today. Once again, the userspace editing limit is no more than three edits per day (by UTC), with the requirement of making at least one more constructive mainspace edit than userspace edits you make. Continued violations of the userspace policy will result in your userspace privileges being revoked. This is your final warning. --Carmen★ (Talk | contribs) 19:00, 2 December 2016 (UTC)

Major templates

Never, ever, make any unauthorized templates for major templates or changes to major template without consulting the staff. Edits to major templates can only be done by a staff member. The sprite box will be updated once we actually have the Gen VII Pokemon sprites.--ForceFire 15:15, 5 December 2016 (UTC)

Please don't blatantly ignore your talk page messages and a staff member. I said that the sprite box will be updated once the Gen VII Pokemon get their models uploaded. Have some patience.--ForceFire 15:25, 5 December 2016 (UTC)

In a similar vein, as a rule, new templates should be created in the userspace first and then brought to a staff member for approval. Please keep this in mind.

I have moved the template you recently created to User:Hamfart/Spritebox/7/Castform. Tiddlywinks (talk) 18:41, 15 December 2016 (UTC)

Why would THAT be?--Hamfart

For one, it can help weed out things we don't want. But there are also certain standards the template may need to reach before will accept it for use in the mainspace. Tiddlywinks (talk) 16:42, 16 December 2016 (UTC)

Signature

Please note that per our signature policy, your signature must include a timestamp to let people know when you left your message. Please update it to include this. Thanks! Pumpkinking0192 (talk) 02:05, 8 December 2016 (UTC)

Abuse

Hello, due to editing your userpage way too many times, you have been placed in abuse. While you do edit the mainspace here and there, you only make a couple and then make a plethora of userpage edits, which is unacceptable. Bulbapedia is not Facebook, you should be striving to improve the wiki by adding information, especially after a game's release. The Editorial Board will decide when to take you out of abuse.--ForceFire 05:30, 8 December 2016 (UTC)

Template:G7ievent

Hi! I wanted to say, first off, thanks for setting up the Gen VII in-game event template. However, if you'd like to change the design, like the colors, do you think you could make a copy of the template in your userspace where you can play with that stuff? All of our templates for the same thing in past generations look basically the same, so it'd probably be best if any changes to that design are approved first. When you feel like you have something good ironed out, feel free to contact me or any staff member on their talk page about it. Tiddlywinks (talk) 16:56, 14 December 2016 (UTC)

Usertags

Please take a look at our usertag policy. We do not allow users to create usertags outside of their userspace, until five users use the tag and it is approved by two staff members. For now, keep any usertag you create in your userspace.

I have moved your usertags to your userspace. Please keep this in mind in the future. Berrenta (talk) 00:52, 26 December 2016 (UTC)

Magnedeth's sprite pages

Hamfart, you are aware Magnedeth hasn't edited their sprite pages in years, right? If you're expecting a response or something, it's reasonably unlikely. And if you're not expecting a response, well, please consult our talk page policy: talk pages are only supposed to be used for improving Bulbapedia, not for idle chit-chat. Thanks.
