when welcoming other users. Thanks. —♥ Jellotalk 02:18, 4 May 2011 (UTC)
- Yeah I hit submit instead of preview (I wanted to see if I could do it), then realized I didn't actually know how to fix it so... thanks for the tip. :( ~ Ribose · talk · cntr · 02:19, 4 May 2011 (UTC)
TM/HM Template
If you feel like helping with a project, I have been using this template to edit a bunch of TM lists and have actually finished working on Hoenn (last seven legendaries were done today). If you want to use that template as a starting point, feel free to edit more lists! I'm going to be working on Unova and Kalos species next, but already did some Kanto, Johto, and Sinnoh species related to Hoenn species while doing Hoenn, with a lot left to do. I have a Jigglypuff edit ready for when that page is no longer protected, as well. Check the Contest data against that template as I have occasionally found errors in lists that were already completed simply by copying my own version of the list over an existing one.
Reason I pointed to that template is because I know that Contest data is accurate and includes all SUP tags for differences between games. You're welcome to use it; just don't edit it on that page, but use a Notepad or similar to prepare edits to copy into the page. If you're all right just copying the moves one by one over the source code, you can do that too. =) CycloneGU (talk) 23:00, 4 January 2015 (UTC)
- Thanks, I just used a text file to save List of moves as a "cache", where I add the Appeal|Jamming as I need them from move pages (every move page has it, and I can confirm with my game where I have all the TMs and 95% of a living dex to search for moves with the box :P). But my internet is so slow, the process will definitely be sped up as I accumulate more data. Why doesn't List of moves have Appeal|Jamming? I don't know. Same reason some move pages don't match the rest of the Wiki (biggest offender being Version-exclusive moves! where is the Type|Category? Why is the TM sprite used?). Anyway, that's off topic. Thank you for the additional reference. ~ Ribose · talk · cntr · 23:13, 4 January 2015 (UTC)
- It's likely not updated because the actual coding is used there (it's the only case where that chart is created), not a template to which one can just add "xy=n" as a trigger. If you want to look at the template and try to add it, go ahead, and it should be possible to work out edits to the first move.
- Maybe I'll take a quick look, but I have not mastered that kind of coding, so it would involve testing in my case. I think it can be done and should be there, as well. I'll look at it after I finish working on all these OR/AS labels and missing location data; I'm up to about 335 on my way to 376 (377-386 are complete). CycloneGU (talk) 23:18, 4 January 2015 (UTC)
- I was just talking. I don't think you should change List of moves until the staff decide how to design it with the moves that have changed contest stat from Generation III to Generation VI. They will probably need to make the page something like the learnsets across generations (a page for each generation), or remove the reference to contests to keep it clean. ~ Ribose · talk · cntr · 23:30, 4 January 2015 (UTC)
- Don't worry, I was going to make a copy in my userspace to present for consideration with a few moves. Provided it works, we can copy those few moves in. Of course, you're right, I don't know if they want the data there, but it would give a full list of moves that have certain contest effects (sortable), so it wouldn't hurt to have somewhere if not on that page.

U-Turn
Check U-Turn in-game. Is it three Hearts or four? The move page indicated four, and I fixed that by copying my template version over yours; that was literally the only character that changed in the entire chart, so the rest was good. CycloneGU (talk) 23:27, 4 January 2015 (UTC)
- Nothing to worry about. They slip through for me as well. I always feel sheepish when I see the Recent Changes and notice one character changed that I made a mistake on, or when I realized I used a footer tag in the header and completely deformed the entire chart to a garbled mess (yes, I actually did that, reverted it, and redid it, realizing later what I did).
