== That friggin' move war ==
 
:Hello, I am a new user (15 Feb) and I noticed that the dub name of Masago town was Sandgem Town, which I didn't see a source so i moved the page. After a little "move war" a user named Maxim left a note on my user talk.

== The Card Game project ==
 
Hey, I was wondering a few things about the Pokémon Trading Card Game project. See, I don't really think we need to sort the cards in the category by the card number. I've been doing my best to avoid them, you see. See, I've been thinking through the aspects of the project for a while now, and I think that it would be a lot easier to make it work if we avoided using the numbers. I believe I have spoken on this before, but using the numbers would make it a lot harder to keep everything from English and Japanese together.
 
On another note, thanks for making all of those categories for Pokémon in the TCG. Actually, I was thinking of another idea to further categorize them by Pokémon and by name (for such cards as Blaine's Vulpix), but I thought that it might make too many tiny categories. What do you think about categories for specifically named Pokémon, Trainer Cards, and Energy Cards? I'm thinking of having Trainer Cards and the like have separate articles for the Trainer Card's name and prints of the card. So there would be, say, "Bill (TCG)" and "Bill (Base Set)." If a card said something along the lines of "Search your deck for a card named Bill," it would link to "Bill (TCG)," which would list all cards with that name. What do you think of all of this? -[[User:Happy Mask Man|Happy Mask Man]] 02:26, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
:We can find alternatives for the Japanese-only cards, sort them into categories with *'s instead of numbers.  But overall, given all the other naming and sorting options, the number system is the best one I've seen that makes any sense and is closest to being universal.  I really don't think many people distinguish these cards using the levels written on them, you know?  So why should we?
:I think that might make the categories too small, yes.  As far as trainer cards... that's a difficult one.  On one hand, we should disambig between any cards with the same name and different text... but not reprints of the same card, like every card in Base Set 2... so I do think we should have trainer cards noted by set.  But at the same time, if there's only one version of a card ever - there's no reason for a disambig.  Like, for example, if besides reprints there's only one Bill (Base Set), Bill (TCG) should just redirect to that.
:Most other people have given up on trying to organize the TCG articles - I believe Zhen confirmed to me that he has over AIM - and I'm one of the few who's still trying to work this out regardless of the giant headache it's giving me.  So sorry if I get a little snippy about this, but this really is the most annoying section of the Bulbapedia to organize ever.  --[[User:Pie|Pie]] <sup>~[[User talk:Pie|♪]][[Special:Contributions/Pie|♫]]</sup> 03:16, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
 
::Eh, I just prefer the idea of having two set lists in the article on the set and having the category for the set just be organized by alphabetical order. Besides, people usually don't refer to cards by anything but the card's name and set anyway. See, between δ Delta Species Pokémon and the new Pokémon LV.X in the DP series, it seems more convenient to use levels and other universal identification in a particular series. Also, Pokémon Card GB referred to different cards of a Pokémon by their levels.
 
::Really, I have about all of the TCG organization planned out. Level for original series, e-card ID for e-card series. In the advance series, the only cards that have the same name in the same set are cards that were from Japanese decks that were merged into an English set. Oh, and things like Unown. The DP series brings back levels and introduces a new game mechanic based on them. This organization method is based on universalness. It also helps to better organize cards that switch around from set to set from Japanese to English. As for Base Set 2 and Legendary Collection, since they're total reprint sets, I'm not planning on having separate articles for cards reprinted there. I do plan on having articles for other reprints of cards though. Things a reprint of Potion in some set would get a separate article.
 
::The only thing that I haven't been completely sure of is making separate articles for Trainer cards that only get one print as the main article for the card and for its print in a set. I guess that if there's only one print, it could be a redirect... Then again, things like [[TM06]] get their own articles... I'm not too sure on this issue. I have most everything else planned out. I guess it's just a matter of getting everyone to agree now. I really believe that this project can work. -[[User:Happy Mask Man|Happy Mask Man]] 04:31, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
:::Fine.  Whatever.  I really don't even care anymore.  I've been working my butt off trying to find some way to organize that section - I should be glad someone else is taking it on. --[[User:Pie|Pie]] <sup>~[[User talk:Pie|♪]][[Special:Contributions/Pie|♫]]</sup> 04:34, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
::::Now that I am recategorizing articles, what should I do with the English number for cards that have holo and non-holo versions? -[[User:Happy Mask Man|Happy Mask Man]] 05:47, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
:::::If the non-holographic versions of cards all have to have separate articles now, could the holographic version at least keep the default name and have the non-holographic version say "Non-holo" in the title? -[[User:Happy Mask Man|Happy Mask Man]] 21:31, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

Hi! I guess someone as technical as you already knows this, but here's a shorter shortcut to "é" you can recommend to other editors: '''ALT+130''' (maybe yours is more correct because of the amount of digits and all that... :S). Also I wonder if there's a way to insert them in Bulbapedia edit fields via a button combination of ALT and some other letter for example. I notice the Manual of Style has a section about "é and other characters", but it doesn't advise how to input them (character palette, ALT, etc.). --[[User:Johans|Johans]] 17:49, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
:Huh, no, I didn't know that.  Well, 0233 is sort of already ingrained into my memory..  ^^o  As for an even shorter shortcut, if anyone would know, it'd be Zhen, so bug him about the idea. --[[User:Pie|Pie]] <sup>~[[User talk:Pie|♪]][[Special:Contributions/Pie|♫]]</sup> 18:40, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

:I tend to, when upset and explaining policy and the like to someone, end with "Capisce?", which is Italian for "Understand?" and used in slang.  From what I understand, he's gotten into the habit of using it as well, but in Japanese romanization sort of spelling.  I don't know if it's a way of mocking me or just coincidence.  But it bugs me a lot.  --[[User:Pie|Pie]] <sup>~[[User talk:Pie|♪]][[Special:Contributions/Pie|♫]]</sup> 19:42, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

I'll tell them on the Project's talk page that if they get the content from Wikipedia's articles, they'll have to rework them and not just copy/paste. Sorry for the miscommunication, and don't worry; I doubt you'll have a massive flood of copy/pasters just yet. :p Cheers! -[[User:WarthogDemon|WarthogDemon]] 19:59, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

Hey Pie I have a suggestion for the video game selection.  How about actually '''deleting'''  the Smash Bros. series???

==Sigs==
You appear to be the person to talk to. This site needs a sig policy, like, NOW. These sigs are insultingly huge, most likely lag the wiki, disrupt pages, and are inaccurate. Some even have outside links to things like youtube. I don't know much about policy making, but [http://pvxwiki.com/wiki/PvX:SIGN this site's] policy is excellent. Seriously, artful sigs are nice, and within reasonable limits make a wiki easier on the eyes. But these sigs lend an air of illegitimacy:
*[[User:Stinkoman|This is just bad.]]
*[[User:No.1fan|Arguably worst offender, both inaccurate and massive.]]

::::::In general, there are both aestetic and technical considerations. I know less than nothing about the state of this site's servers, but many wiki's simply hate having >1 image sigs. They create lots o lag. However, there is a workaround to this, namely, screenshotting your sig, and uploading its pictures, and making it your sig. This makes 1 image containing all the images you had(i do that on some wikis with policy). However, aestetic considerations are just as important. Tesh, for instance, has legally sized images(by most wiki standards), but far too many of them. I don't know of a policy that restricts invasive colors, but tesh's does push the limit on that. Also, one thing many wikis have a problem with is using their images to make a sig. The reason being, you end up accidentally clicking on say, tesh's polygon(w/e the hell pokémon that is), and suddenly, you havent found tesh, but instead found the image.[[User:Dark0805|<font color="Black">'''Dark0805'''</font>]] <small>([[User talk:Dark0805|''<font color="Pink">talk</font>'']]|[[Special:Contributions/Dark0805|''<font color="Blue">contribs</font>'']])</small> 19:20, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

::Figured out a great solution for a shorter code. Make your signature template, and then a template (Making both in the User namespace, mind you) containing the signature template, and then go to Preferences, adding in the code for the template that contains the signature template. (template template template template) For example, I added 'User:TinaTheKirlia/Signature' instead of the one that holds the code, 'User:TinaTheKirlia/Sig'. Much, MUCH shorter code.

:::Ouch, that's generally a no-no. If you contribute to a lot of pages (you already do, I believe), you'll end up with your signature on lots of talk pages. Then, say you or, god forbid, someone else edits your signature template page? The Wiki now needs to update every page with a signature on it, and trust me, it doesn't take as much as you'd think to crash a server. :P
:::Generally, you can find some fairly short coding for a lot of things you might use. For example, Tesh's signature uses <nowiki><span style="color:#F05030;">'''TESH'''</span>, when you could also use <font color="#F05030>'''TESH'''</font></nowiki> and get the same result. Not a huge difference, but if you're using multiple colors in one signature, it adds up.
:::Another thing, on the subject of signature images: you can add <nowiki>|19x19px]]</nowiki> into the image link, and it'll resize. For example:
:::[[Image:Spr 3e 059.gif|70px]]
:::[[Image:Spr 3e 059.gif|19x19px]]
:::...and suddenly, it fits a lot better. Doesn't stretch out the page like crazy, so it's much easier to read. And doesn't stand out too much either.
:::And on the subject of outside links, that's really only an issue on bigger sites, I think. (Although Bulbapedia is one of the bigger Pokémon sites out there.) Basically, people could stick a link to their own website in their signature or something, and now, they've got links on every page of the wiki, practically. Not amazing by advertising standards, but it's still a free ride. Weather or not a Wiki allows or disallows outside links is really dependant on the Wiki itself though, it's not necessarily a bad thing on it's own.

::::Yeah, but the flip side to not substing the sig on every page is, if you change your sig, it changes everywhere. That way, it can always be recognised who posted, even if your sig takes on a radically different look. Plus, it also doesn't look like you're making a really good talk contribution. I often gauge the worth of reading a particular talk post by the number of bytes added (which can be seen on Recent Changes), and higher numbers generally mean longer posts. Except here. I've seen posts that add about 900 bytes to the page, and about 850 of them are the signature. It's ridiculous. Now [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php/HRWiki:Signature here] are some good signature rules. They work excellently. I've been noticing all these terrible sigs for a long while, and I'm glad we're finally getting around to discussing setting some kind of standard to them. --[[User:DarkfireTaimatsu|DarkfireTaimatsu]] 06:43, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
:::::Just to note, Darfire, that's exactly why you shouldn't use a template. Because it changes everywhere. Meaning, I edit my signature template, boom, the server now has to update fifty, a hundred, maybe even more pages, all in one shot. That's a big drag on the server. And especially if I change a picture in my signature. Using the normal subst: system might have it's drawback, but it's not a big deal normally. If you're changing your signature that often, then it's really your own fault if you end up with inconsistent signatures across different pages.
:::::And even if you don't edit your signature template, other people can. Someone wants to vandalize the site? All they need to do is go to your signature template, and stick some massive coding in there. Having to do such a big update on so many pages at once will probably cause lag at the very least, if not crashing the entire server. -- [[user:Jioruji Derako|<font color="#237d00">'''J'''ioruji '''D'''erako.'''>'''</font>]] 11:20, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

:Not trying to boss you around here, Thery! Just suggesting some policies on signatures and whatnot. Time spent on a site shouldn't credit or discredit an idea. Dark's not trying to make you do anything here, he's only using your signature (among others) as an example of some signatures that might not be all that great for the site. Not a matter of who's better then who, but a matter of what's the better option for the website itself.
:But if you want to get technical, I've been a member here since March. :P So don't think I'm a new member either, I haven't edited as much as you have, probably, but not for lack of experience or anything of the sort. -- [[user:Jioruji Derako|<font color="#237d00">'''J'''ioruji '''D'''erako.'''>'''</font>]] 22:43, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

:Tbh, the newness of a user should never bar his opinions from being considered. But i totally understand where your'e coming from thery, and i can say confidently both me and jioruji have experience with puffed up 2-contribution users making noises about change. However, i beseech you to realize that while i am new to this site, i am not new to wikis/wiki bueracracy. And jioruji put it perfectly, i have nothing against you, or even your sig, i have somethign against the lack of policy.[[User:Dark0805|<font color="Black">'''Dark0805'''</font>]] <small>([[User talk:Dark0805|''<font color="Pink">talk</font>'']]|[[Special:Contributions/Dark0805|''<font color="Blue">contribs</font>'']])</small> 13:16, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

:This is the kind of stuff that makes you ''leave'' for mental health reasons, IMO. :P But I think it's mostly cleared up for now; I'm going to suggest a loose signature policy on the forums, and work things out from there. (by the way, hope your, um, mental health is feeling better. :D) -- [[user:Jioruji Derako|<font color="#237d00">'''J'''ioruji '''D'''erako.'''>'''</font>]] 23:22, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
 
::But I sitll don't get WHY I can't link to Youtube. It IS my favorite song, after all...'''<sc>[[User:Optimus35|{{tt|Optimatum♏|Optimus35}}]]</sc><sup><span style=" color:navy">[[User talk:Ph34r4ever|Talk]]|[[User:Optimus35/sig/Pikachu|♊]]</span></sup>Hi''' 06:16, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
 
:::As it is, there's currently no rule that says you can't do that... just generally, if someone's clicking your signature, they expect to be taken to your userpage, not to a totally different website. People shouldn't have to worry about where that signature's going to take them when they click it. (I've personally had to get into the habit of hovering over links and checking the status bar, so I know where I'm going.)
:::...can't you simply post a link on your own page as well? That way, you can give a bigger, better explanation of why the song is so awesome, and why people should click it. People clicking your signature are going to end up at your userpage, so they'll see the YouTube link when they get there... -- [[user:Jioruji Derako|<font color="#237d00">'''J'''ioruji '''D'''erako.'''>'''</font>]] 06:30, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

:::::Still, there's no warning that it leaves the website, unless you're keeping an eye on link targets.
:::::Just to note, have you ever heard the original version of that song (Butterfly by Smile DK)? It's a pretty good song, I play it all the time on DDR. :P -- [[user:Jioruji Derako|<font color="#237d00">'''J'''ioruji '''D'''erako.'''>'''</font>]] 10:45, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

Can you please replace the current image of Melodi with this one? This one looks better IMO. The current one just looks like if she was glaring at something. >.<
