Welcome

Welcome to Bulbapedia, Patriotfan09!

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.
  • If you want to make a page about a character you made up, please create it at User:Patriotfan09/(name), not merely (name). Bulbapedia's main namespace is reserved for actual, official Pokémon, items, characters, and locations. Also, please try to make sure that subpages are not categorized by templates used within.
  • 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! MAGNEDETH 03:08, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

Signature Help

Can someone help me create a signature, or at least tell me hom to? Thanks.

Let's see, I think I've got some good links that'll help you.
First off; if you go to your Preferences, you'll see a field called "Nickname". That's your signature; anything you put there will automatically be posted to the page when you type ~~~~. If you check off the "Enable Raw Signatures" box under that, you can use all sorts of fancy coding in there as well.
Do you perhaps have an idea of how you want your signature to look? If you can't figure out the coding to do it, let me know what you want, and I'll see if I can code something up for you. -- Jïörüjï Ðērākō.>.cнаt^ 05:43, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

making a signature is pretty easy now that we have a policy. it narrows your choices. bascially, choose some fav colors of yours (given your a Patriots fan i presume) and then its pretty easy after that. -- MAGNEDETH 03:05, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Signing

Having a signature is no good if you don't sign your comments. Be sure you put ~~~~ after every comment you leave on a talk page. Even if you haven't made your signature yet, you should sign your comments with the default signature until you finish your custom one. --Martonimos((Talk)) 04:22, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
