I saw your message on {{u|TehPerson}}'s talk page. You said to stop editing move variations. And that's exactly what they did, moving to Ability variations instead. So I don't think it's right to block TehPerson for editing Ability variations when it was actually not in any way clear that you might have meant to not edit those as well. TehPerson was not being insubordinate. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 22:38, 15 July 2015 (UTC) | I saw your message on {{u|TehPerson}}'s talk page.

:I realize it's too late now to strictly fix anything here. I also realize it may have been a fairly small issue in the grand scheme of things. However, I would still be much reassured to know that you acknowledge it was a mistake. I think authority figures have a certain responsibility to own up to a mistake in the use of their power (regardless of whether it can be undone). Otherwise you are fostering a modicum of uncertainty (with all due respect: a "chilling effect", in short) for users who interact with you in the future.

:We did research regarding the current title of the article. Per official publications, Pokémon groomers give Pokémon "beauty/spa treatments" to increase their friendship with their Trainer. The subject of "beauty/spa treatments" is entirely inclusive of things beyond simply giving Pokémon haircuts or fur brushing, such as giving Pokémon massages. So, while the term hasn't been specifically used in reference to masseurs in recent Pokémon titles, the existing term still adequately covers them until an official term changes such. - [[User:Kogoro|'''<span class="sc" style="color:#DA70D6;">Kogoro</span>''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''<span class="sc" style="color:#FFB6C1;">Talk to me</span>''']] - 19:54, 16 July 2015 (UTC) | :We did research regarding the current title of the article.

== Emerald gifs == | |||
Hey Kogoro, I noticed that there are a few more protected templates that are calling on the Emerald gifs. The major ones are: {{Template|Pokémon/3}}, {{Template|Pokémon/3/Contest}}, {{Template|Sprite}}, {{Template|Sprite/Ja}}, {{Template|Sprite/3/fossil}} (which probably should be protected as well), {{Template|Spr}}, {{Template|User No Swim}}, and {{Template|User Invisible}}. Out side of that, there are just a few random protected pages, most archieved, which are calling on the gifs. Also, side note: I know that you're working on a newer version of the {{Template|sidegame}}, but can the use of the Pinball and Trozei! gifs be switched there as well? Thanks! [[User:Adamws|Adamws]] ([[User talk:Adamws|talk]]) 17:46, 18 July 2015 (UTC) | |||
:All the Emerald sprites that you have listed here should now be updated, don't hesitate to throw me another list of protected locations still using the .gif sprites if there's any others. As for Pinball & Trozei, they'll be converted with the upgrade to the new templates. The old template is a highly used giant mess of code, and editing it would likely cause some unneeded downtime. It won't hurt anything for the .gif files to be used there for a little while longer. Thanks, - [[User:Kogoro|'''<span class="sc" style="color:#DA70D6;">Kogoro</span>''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''<span class="sc" style="color:#FFB6C1;">Talk to me</span>''']] - 10:16, 19 July 2015 (UTC) | |||

::As for the Pinball and Trozei! gifs, I understand your reasoning. The reason why I had requested the switch was more or less the same reason, preventing server lag in the Archives when deleting the massive amount of images that have piled up. Thanks!

Please undo the revocation of me editing my own userpage. I will not edit others' userpages anymore, I will just edit my own.[[User:Jskylinegtr|Jskylinegtr]] ([[User talk:Jskylinegtr|talk]]) 03:46, 25 July 2015 (UTC) | |||
:That's not how it works, Jskylinegtr. The revocation is a consequence of your choice to blatantly ignore staff direction regarding the rules, and continuing to edit other people's userpages for unnecessary reasons such as to force your personal predictions onto their predictions. The bare ''minimum'' time your userspace privileges will be revoked is one month, until such time as {{bp|Editorial Board|we}} feel you're going to respect the rules. - [[User:Kogoro|'''<span class="sc" style="color:#DA70D6;">Kogoro</span>''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''<span class="sc" style="color:#FFB6C1;">Talk to me</span>''']] - 11:54, 25 July 2015 (UTC) | |||

:::That's not possible. You're either locked out of the entire userspace, or you can edit the entire userspace.

:::::Again, that's not how it works. You were informed of the policy, you were trusted to follow it, and you breached that trust by continuing to violate the policy. Now you have to actually ''earn that trust back'' before we will restore your userspace privileges. Not by saying you will follow the rules, but by actually following the rules and editing solely to help improve Bulbapedia. Your userspace privileges will not be restored, and continuing to ask for your privileges back will only further delay them being restored. - [[User:Kogoro|'''<span class="sc" style="color:#DA70D6;">Kogoro</span>''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''<span class="sc" style="color:#FFB6C1;">Talk to me</span>''']] - 16:18, 30 July 2015 (UTC) | |||

:::::::::As I told you before, your userspace privileges will be restored when the Editorial Board feels you have earned them back, and asking for them to be restored will not result in them being restored. Do not ask about it again, it will simply happen when it happens.

== Area Pages for Pokémon Shuffle == | |||
Has a decision been made on the page split project for [[Pokémon Shuffle]]? It's been over a month since the project was initially completed, pending other additions for new updates on the proposed pages, and I'm getting ready to prep an Escalation Battles page to add to that proposal as there is a significant amount of data pulled on the various stages (I think 21 in total) available on the Darkrai edition of the event; Cresselia also had a lot that I can go back and acquire, as well. | |||
Turns out the new data puller is also getting all of the disruption data and Pokémon who default on the stage as well if support slots are empty, so each area page can now be expanded over time to have individual stage data under the summarized stage info, resulting in very detailed pages, so that will keep me busy provided it's approved. Apparently the updates in the single (huge!) initial report on that pastebin date back to 1.1.5 or something like that, so there might still be something (like Mew) missing; I'll see about that. [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 03:39, 19 August 2015 (UTC) | |||

::Alrighty, I am eagerly awaiting this either way. Been waiting to do other updates based on the pending decision. (Just so they don't have to all be redone later.) [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 20:21, 21 August 2015 (UTC) | |||
== Template:Ytu == | |||
It's currently broken. | |||

This issue has priority because [[Template:YouTubeVid]] uses [[Template:Ytu]] and is still in use. A recent example of the issues this causes: [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=List_of_glitches_in_Generation_I&oldid=2326038 here] and [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=List_of_glitches_in_Generation_I&oldid=2326040 here]. Links to Google+ YouTube channel IDs are always broken but old YouTube channel IDs are fine, though. [[User:SatoMew2|SatoMew2]] ([[User talk:SatoMew2|talk]]) 22:18, 28 August 2015 (UTC) | |||
:'''UPDATE:''' Further patched it to use HTTPS URLs (which reminds me [[Template talk:Wp#HTTPS|of this]]; it's 2015 and Wikipedia now strictly uses HTTPS). [[User:SatoMew2|SatoMew2]] ([[User talk:SatoMew2|talk]]) 22:47, 28 August 2015 (UTC) | |||
::Both YouTube templates are now updated to use the existing 2 parameter for the link needed, whether it be user or channel, and the new '''name''' parameter to allow the link text to be a proper name. I have also updated the wp prefix on the interwiki table to use https. - [[User:Kogoro|'''<span class="sc" style="color:#DA70D6;">Kogoro</span>''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''<span class="sc" style="color:#FFB6C1;">Talk to me</span>''']] - 05:53, 29 August 2015 (UTC) | |||
:::Thanks. I still think that the extra work we put on ourselves is not worth it because YouTube videos are direct sources in themselves, and they already link to the author properly. | |||
:::And [[Template:YouTubeVid]] is [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Template:YouTubeVid&oldid=1561295 not really broken]. [[Template:YouTubeEmbed]] thus seems unnecessary, especially when [https://web.archive.org/web/20150524142955/https://www.mediawikiwidgets.org/YouTube the YouTube widget it uses] is far more limited than [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:EmbedVideo the EmbedVideo extension] used by "YouTubeVid". I've been playing around with this {{u|SatoMew2/YouTubeVid|here}} and {{ut|SatoMew2/YouTubeVid|here}}. | |||
:::Also, [[Template:Ytu]] is now deprecated and unused so it should be deleted. [[User:SatoMew2|SatoMew2]] ([[User talk:SatoMew2|talk]]) 06:56, 29 August 2015 (UTC) | |||
::::The YouTube user links are still broken. For Google+ channels, it should be <code>youtube.com/channel/<channellink></code>, and for older accounts (with actual names in the URLs) it should be <code>youtube.com/user/<username></code>. Currently, it's using <code>youtube.com/<username></code>, which usually works for older accounts (not sure if it fails for some of them though), but does not work for Google+ channels. [http://bulbanews.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Template:YouTubeVid&diff=55824&oldid=52526 Here] is the fix I did on Bulbanews, if you're interested in implementing it that way. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 13:41, 29 August 2015 (UTC) | |||
:::::Well, you could just add "channel/" yourself but, since you mentioned this, then don't forget that there is a third channel ID URL type, <code>youtube.com/c/<anything></code>. The best solution is to drop the pointless names from the template altogether since they try to solve a problem that doesn't exist. "YouTubeVid" just needs to be fixed and EmbedVideo doesn't have to be replaced with the YouTube widget. [https://i.imgur.com/8UNKH8n.png Here's how my template looks on mobile Bulbapedia, by the way.] Also, there will always be loading issues if a page has too many embedded videos, regardless of template, extension, or widget. [[User:SatoMew2|SatoMew2]] ([[User talk:SatoMew2|talk]]) 15:43, 29 August 2015 (UTC) | |||
::::::Here's the code for my template, in case you decide to fix "YouTubeVid", which would be the best call (I don't want my userspace edits to be merged with mainspace): <nowiki><div>{{#ev:youtube|{{{1|1}}}|{{{2|}}}|{{{3|}}}|{{{4|}}}|{{{5|}}}}}</div></nowiki>. Parameter 1 is the ID, 2 is for the dimensions, 3 is for alignment, 4 is for descriptions, and 5 is for wrapping the video player in a MediaWiki thumbnail box using <code>frame</code> ([https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:EmbedVideo#Attributes_for_Parser_Tags source]). In a way, it's like what we do with images. [[User:SatoMew2|SatoMew2]] ([[User talk:SatoMew2|talk]]) 16:34, 29 August 2015 (UTC) | |||
:::Can you also update the interwiki link table so that [[Template:Jwp]] uses HTTPS as well? [[User:SatoMew2|SatoMew2]] ([[User talk:SatoMew2|talk]]) 16:35, 29 August 2015 (UTC) | |||
== Vector skin == | |||
You may or may not be aware but [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Skin:Vector Vector] has become the default MediaWiki skin since 2010. It replaces the old [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Skin:MonoBook MonoBook] that is still used on Bulbapedia. Anyone, particularly non-editors, can use Bulbapedia with Vector ([http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Main_Page?useskin=Vector try it yourself]), effectively getting rid of the ads without registering an account. | |||
My suggestion to you is that you stop using MonoBook and "Bulbafy" Vector so that it becomes the wiki's new look. Here's how [https://tcrf.net/The_Cutting_Room_Floor TCRF] looks with Vector since it became their new look a while back ([https://tcrf.net/The_Cutting_Room_Floor?useskin=MonoBook old look for comparison]). | |||
Additionally, please get rid of the right-sidebar ads as they continuously break the wiki's layout, especially templates. The pop-up ads at the bottom (like the ones advertising Bulbanews) are obnoxious too. [[User:SatoMew2|SatoMew2]] ([[User talk:SatoMew2|talk]]) 23:29, 28 August 2015 (UTC) | |||
:We have no interest at this time to use Vector as our default skin, we're happy with Monobook. As for issues & complaints regarding adverts, you will need to take that up with <span class="plainlinks">[http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/members/1.html Archaic on the BMGf]</span>. - [[User:Kogoro|'''<span class="sc" style="color:#DA70D6;">Kogoro</span>''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''<span class="sc" style="color:#FFB6C1;">Talk to me</span>''']] - 05:53, 29 August 2015 (UTC) | |||
::OK, but could you apply [[Template:Bulba color]] or its variants to the background of both MonoBook and Vector? It will fit with the wiki's identity better. As to the ads, can't you at least enable them for Vector? [[User:SatoMew2|SatoMew2]] ([[User talk:SatoMew2|talk]]) 06:56, 29 August 2015 (UTC) |
