Move templates

Why did you revert the move templates placed at Pound, Hypnosis and Healing Wish? There's nothing wrong with being bold and besides, they look better than the boxes that are there now. Morgan695 00:59, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

Why? Because they look worse. You have to scroll more, and while sure, you can recognize the Pokémon from their image, well, jeez, it stresses the server to load up so many images. If anything, a change to that format should be brought up on the talk page for Project MoveDex. While there's absolutely nothing wrong with being bold, there's the fact that there's 467 moves, each would be loading at least two or three images (the average, with 493 Pokémon, would likely be at least 150 images). Also, there's a reason we use link templates, so you don't have to link to the moves as [[Giga Drain (move)|Giga Drain]], you merely need to use {{m|Giga Drain}}.
Also, Bulbapedia is not Wikipedia. We have our own (albeit sometimes a bit more complicated for the sake of consistency) sense of style, and Zhen Lin himself has said that the moves should not have the icon-list tables on Royalshow ten's talk page. TTEchidna 09:23, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

oops

sorry about last time of editing your page :( I just wanted to say thank you for the tips and I do have better grammer than the new users??

Sometimes you do. Just remember to capitalize and all that, follow the manual of style as best you can. Also, it's "grammar", Grammer is an actor. TTEchidna 22:51, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

Crud!!! :(

Sorry! Sorry! I had kind of an emergency and I had to rush out really quickly, and so I didn't even have time to finish the article, much less categorize it. I feel like an idiot now, and I'll make sure to do it in the future. Politoed666 01:33, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

Don't worry. Just be sure to categorize it, or heck, just leave your computer on with the window open, or, since you have Firefox, you could get the session manager extension and just save the session, then continue your edits later, or just save the text in a notepad document. TTEchidna 01:38, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

Portuguese tag

What portuguese tag were you talking about? Netto-kun 12:26, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

You know, the one on your userpage. TTEchidna 21:22, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

Ah, you did it right. Netto-kun 00:28, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

Pokémon

Thanks! Got it :P


How was the working with userboxes 2

TTEchidna,

I think that you didn't understand me very well.I was talking about this massege and this userboxes:

"Part 2 Ah, no, we don't have a plain, customizable userbox template... Might be a really good idea, though, since now it's a pain in the ass to make custom userboxes. I'll take care of making it (or them, even) later myself, though, I've gotta make sure that it'll work well. I'm gonna talk to Zhen and Pie about perhaps making a page here like how Wookiepedia has one on userboxes and how to use them later on, too. We should have all that finished up soon, I think. TTEchidna 23:06, 15 August 2007 (UTC)"

I understand that you will talk with Zhen and Pie,and ask them for put this "custom userboxes" available for us,users,but you didn't return me.What will be do?

User:Lucas22

Um, well, we're dealing with it right now... In fact, I think a {{User Template}} has been made, much like the one at Wookiepedia... So it should work the same. Why don't you try it? TTEchidna 21:26, 2 September 2007 (UTC)


TTEchidna

But,How is it work?;where I put the name of the image?;Can you explan me more about?

User:Lucas22

Well, pretty much what you gotta do is put in {{User Template|This user believes in|Arceus (Pokémon)|God|493.png|special|unknown|grass}}. It should result in the below:
493.png This user believes in God
It's the best example I could come up with. Just change up the colors, text, and such. TTEchidna 20:59, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
You can specify a border color, at the end, so, following your example:
{{User Template|This user believes in|Arceus (Pokémon)|God|493.png|special|unknown|grass|electric}}

Will make:

493.png This user believes in God

It worked Shiny Noctowl.Thak you very much.

User:Lucas22

RE: Vulpix

just as aside, since you were the one who changed my Vulpix edit...

Vulpix can't learn Energy Ball form levelling or TM.

however, I bred it with my Nuzleaf that had Energy Ball, and it learned it.

so, in Vulpix's case, Energy Ball is breeding-only.

Ah, shoot, sorry. I should realize, since the case was the same for Psyduck before Gen IV with Psychic. Um... question, though, can you do Vulpix's egg moves the same way that I have Charizard's done? TTEchidna 04:27, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

no problem, I'll work on it...may as well, right?

expect me to take my time, though...chain-breeding research is hard...

Well, you don't have to research the whole chain, just if it's unbreedable otherwise... TTEchidna 05:31, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

You changed your page???

Hey, I didn't know you totally changed your page! It looks so much better now!

I think so, too. TTEchidna 04:57, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

Team Rocket Robots

Hey, TTEchina, I was thinking of starting an article about all of Team Rocket's Robots. I was just asking, do think that it would be nessecary? --Ryguy 09:10, 3, September 2007 (EST)

Like from the anime? I suppose you could make an article on Team Rocket's mechs. Just make sure to organize it well. TTEchidna 23:46, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
...Serebii has oneOptimus35 09:28, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

....yea, am i aloud to use pictures from serebii or this that copyright stuff> --Ryguy 06:28, 6 Sptember 2007 (EST)

I'm not sure, Serebii has copyrighted all its content (check the bottom of the this page)Optimus35 04:51, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
Yeah, he really doesn't like it when people jack his stuff. TTEchidna 06:05, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
Is it even legal to copyright a screenshot? He didn't actually make the episode. Zurqoxn 18:18, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
I... actually don't know. He was the one who took it, though. My best piece of advice if you're planning on using screens Serebii took: Don't announce the fact to the world. TTEchidna 01:15, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

Haymaker

I read your article and decided to make a Haymaker deck myself! I tried it out in unlimited format at the local league, and it did pretty well! Just thought I'd let you know. Politoed666 19:42, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

Nice. I was never able to make one myself, I never had the cards to. I did, however, face a few. TTEchidna 23:55, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

Contents?

I just wrote a new article for Project Decks, on the Eeveelutions archetype. Check it out! However, I have a problem. I can't create a contents box! Could you please either do it or tell me how? Politoed666 20:15, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

Like the Table of Contents? Those are autocreated for pages that have four or more subheadings. Also, you should use three apostrophes (') instead of quotation marks (") in the opening line; e.g. Eeveelutions instead of "Eeveelutions". Also, link stuff that you can with the {{TCG}} and {{P}} templates instead of using normal linking methods. Link templates are your friend. TTEchidna 23:45, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
OK! Politoed666 01:36, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

Disambiguation: A Complicated Problem

Like I said before, I wrote a new article, Eeveelutions. However, I realized that there is also an article on Eeveelution, the Skyridge Theme Deck. In addition, there is just the normal Eeveelution article, referring to the fandom term. I feel there needs to be a disambiguation page for when someone types in "eeveelution" or "eeveelutions." Do you agree, or am I just being picky? Write me on my talk page. Thanks! --Politoed666 01:48, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

I'll take care of it. TTEchidna 01:50, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

Hey.

Hey TTEchidna.

I'm Mike. I would like us to become friends. I'm gonna add ure friend code when i get connected to Wi-Fi.

Waitin for ure reply.

Mike.

(Michael24)

Um, okay... TTEchidna 06:30, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

Thnx.

I didn't realize that u speak Spanish to. That's great. Post your MSN on the page (That is if u have MSN) and we can chat sometime. If u don't have MSN just post ure e-mail. Thnx.

Mike.

Nope, no MSN. Just AIM. I don't trust MSN messenger after I got a billion viruses through it. TTEchidna 08:20, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

So will u accept me if I add ure friend code when i connect to Wi-Fi? Oh and wats AIM. If it's e-mail please send me ure adress.

Mike.

I suppose so... as long as you start using correct spelling and grammar. Possessive of "you" is "your", not "ure". Contraction of "you are" is "you're". "You" spelled with less than three letters is not a pronoun. And what is spelled "what". Address is spelled as stated, and I is always capital if it's the pronoun... unless you don't consider yourself important...

And AIM, AOL Instant Messenger. It's no email, it's the same kind of thing as MSN Messenger. TTEchidna 09:50, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

Ok. I shall start speaking properly. I just thought you liked people who talk like that on the computer.

Michael.

Heck no. I haaaaate grammar-murderers. TTEchidna 05:31, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

"Erika's Dratini"

Man, I've got a major favor to ask, here. While I am a member of Project TCGDex, I'm having trouble learning the template. Also, I consider Barrier Swap my best article so far. And there are only a few red links. One of them happens to be Erika's Dratini. I've already uploeded a picture to Bulbagarden Archives, titled "Image:Baboom.jpg." So, I'd love it if you'd do the hard part and write the article. If you think of any tedious article you'd like me to write in return, just say so. Thank You. Politoed666 21:42, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

P.S. I think you oughta delete all those "Heys." I don't have anything against the dude, but, honestly, they look bad. And tell him to sign the right way.

I'll be able to later on... I have class in a little bit. TTEchidna 22:09, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
Nice job! It looks great. Politoed666 21:19, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
Well, actually, Shiningpikablu252 made it... TTEchidna 06:08, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

I was wondering?

Is vulgar language acceptable on Bulbapedia?Optimus35 06:04, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

I already answered this. -Politoed666 21:44, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
Sorry, I didn't look around for an answer before I put up this question...Optimus35 04:00, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

My opinion...

...is that the user FREAKAZOID should be temporarily blocked. I have noticed that he has been warned about the notability of his articles, and I have seen him posting useless crap on peoples user pages, trying to drive them "crazy." Think about it. -Politoed666 21:48, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

Hmm... Well, while it'd be better to email/IM me about this sort of thing, so as not to offend anyone... I'll look into it. TTEchidna 06:13, 7 September 2007 (UTC)


How can I make it so that the image in my signature is on the same line as the rest of the text? --Shiny NoctowlTalk|Trivia quiz

PS: It's not because it ran out of room on the line.

Look:

01:23, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

Also, is there any way to see how many edits I have made without having to count them on my contributions page? --Shiny NoctowlTalk|Trivia quiz

01:32, 8 September 2007 (UTC)


I can see... Ummm... I dunno, that's WAY advanced wikicode. I think it might be that you put it in a chart or the fact that you used a <div>...

The question is whether the stuff you have in the <div style> can be used the same way in a <span style>. I don't think it can, however, if you'd be fine with just the image, well, you can use that after a no-break space... TTEchidna 02:26, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

Page for deletion

Can you please delete this Fanfic Crap article? --Maxim 09:45, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

Help!

I need help editing pages- the edit help page has been removed coz of copyright. Oh yeah how do u get those things sayin stuff like 'this user identifies himself as a male' and boxes containing stuff, and contents things????

No.1fan (Sonic)

PS check out my site: sonics-greatest-hits.piczo.com

034.png This user identifies as male.
258Mudkip.png This user lieks Mudkipz.
474.png This user's favorite Pokémon is Porygon-Z.
121 s.png ShinyIIStars.png This user has a Shiny Starmie. ShinyIIStars.png
Those are userbox templates. You can add them to your userpage by putting the following:
<div class="userbox" style="width: 230pt;">

...and then below that, putting the userbox templates, such as {{User Male}} and so on to make what appears to the right. Don't forget to end the list with a </div> to close it up. If you don't use the beginning part, then the userboxes will take up the full width of the page (I personally find that ugly and annoying), and if you don't close the div, then the rest of your page will be stuck within it.

And about editing, well, pretty much see Wikipedia's version. Just make sure to look over our own manual of style in addition, because we have several quirks here that differ from Wikipedia. TTEchidna 00:27, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

Project Decks

Oh yeah! I finally changed the picture on the Project Decks notice! I put in a picture of a box of Delta Species Theme Decks, and it's not perfect, but it looks better that that other thing. Tell me what you think. -Politoed666 00:35, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

Hmmm... yes, it's good. Good enough for now, anyway. TTEchidna 00:39, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

E-Mail

I agree with the fact that I should use e-mail when asking about a ban, but I don't have your e-mail address. Don't worry, I'm not going to harass you or anything, but it could be important. Here's mine: [email protected] . -Politoed666 00:58, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

It's usually on the sidebar of user pages and user talk pages. TTEchidna 01:09, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
I don't see yours. It's okay if you want to keep it private, though. -Politoed666 21:36, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
Hmm... that's weird... Try it now. TTEchidna 21:37, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
Never mind, I got the one you sent me and replied. -Politoed666 23:30, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

Colosseum Glitches (accent on e)

Hi TTEchidna! After I made the glitches section on Colosseum, you told me to accent and capitalise Pokémon properly. I see you or someone else has done it for me. One Question:How do you type the e with accent (é)? I am just copying and pasting this é

Promo pages

Since you've decided to merge the old Nintendo promos and the new DP ones, is it worth keeping the separate DP Promo article? Also, is it worth keeping the entire Nintendo promo list in the TCG Expansion sets category? I deleted it when I created the separate articles for the Nintnedo promos (like the Japanese promos, as the list was starting to get rather large), but Zhen Lin reverted it and decided to keep it. I think it looks a bit cluttered now, but I thought I'd better mention it before I do anything. nuva-kal 16:25, 9 September (BST)

Hmm... I personally think every separate numbering of promos should be separate: Wizards Black Star, Nintendo Black Star, and the DP ones. The problem is that all three of those use the same symbol. We differentiate between the POP series, so I do think that separating the three is best. TTEchidna 18:53, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
OK. Is it worth keeping the old Nintendo Promotional Cards article, which is currently in the the TCG Expansion sets category? It seems to stick out since all of the other Nintendo stuff has its own category... nuva-kal 09:57, 10 September 2007 (BST)
No, I don't think so. Split the lists off into their own pages. TTEchidna 09:18, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

Template

How come this template won't work? --Shiny NoctowlTalk|FunFile:224MS.gif 19:44, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

...I... don't know. Zhen might. TTEchidna 19:50, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

1000+ Edits

I have made 1000 edits in the last month, yet you don't mention me on your user page when you are listing the other users who have made over 1000 edits in one month (the contribution pages are here and here). On those pages, you can see that the last edit at the end of the second page (edits 501-1000 from now) was on August 10th, and today is September 9th. Therefore, I have made over 1000 edits in one month. --Shiny NoctowlTalk | FunFile:224MS.gif 00:51, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

Hmmm... Well, technically, I took the data from the top contributors of the month page. You may have made 1000+ contribs in one month's time, but not within a specific month. Just keep contributing (and don't dare make ridiculously tiny edits) and you might be up there for September. It should be calculated on October 1, so all you gotta do is wait about three weeks. You were #5 on the last list, you'll no doubt be #1 or #2 on the next one (after me of course... bwahaha)... You've made almost 500 edits in September alone, anyway, so you're well on your way to being in the 1000+ club. TTEchidna 02:51, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
Oh. so it has to be all in one month. It can't be split between two months. Darn. --Shiny NoctowlTalk | FunFile:224MS.gif 12:17, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
Don't worry, you'll get it soon. I'm sure of it. TTEchidna 20:43, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

If you search for "Glitch", and then go down to "Pokémon Colosseum Glitches", you may notice that it says "edit" 9 times. I made the article of Pokémon Colosseum Glitches on it and so i was wondering what i did wrong while make it , well, glitch. Please respond!

Secret Wonders/Shining Darkness

A majority of the revealed cards from Secret Wonders are Shining Darkness cards but with the addition of new cards from Japan's DP4 and probablly the removal of some (Darkai, Palkia, Dialga) , So I dont know if the 2 articles should be merged.

Hmm... We have an Aquapolis/Skyridge issue here... TTEchidna 23:49, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
Indeed we do, and excuse me for forgetting to sign the above entry. Arri 02:19, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
Once we see more, we'll figure out what to do, far as I can say. TTEchidna 02:42, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

Decks

I think tomorrow I'll make an average decklist for all the deck archetypes. You don't mind, do you? -Politoed666 23:53, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

Just as long as it's specified average decklist. TTEchidna 23:55, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
Don't worry. I'm a pro. Oh, and check your e-mail. -Politoed666 00:05, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
Good. TTEchidna 00:09, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
Ok, here goes...I'll notify you if I need a block, and I won't use e-mail. -Politoed666 00:50, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
As for the decklists, I'll start tomorrow. -Politoed666 01:25, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
Okay then. TTEchidna 01:36, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

Massasge Lady

TTEchidna, I have just made a page called Massage Lady. I have put some info. in it and marked it as a stub. It is all about the massage lady in Veilstone (Generation IV). I was wondering if it is really necessary to have a page about her?

User:Pichu lover/sig

Hmmm... Not really. She doesn't really... do... anything important to warrant her own page. Making a mention of what she does on the pages on happiness and accessories is better. TTEchidna 21:53, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

You-Know-Who

The thing with you-know-who didn't work out. Turns out he really is telling the truth, so we'll just have to deal with his...creepiness. -Politoed666 23:37, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

Hmm. TTEchidna 00:04, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

Candidate for Speedy Deletion

Please mark Karen's Rapidash (VS087) as an article candidate for speedy deletion. It is horrible and does not at all meet the guidelines of project TCGDex. -Politoed666 00:45, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

It met the guidelines for the project before. It merely needs to be updated. TTEchidna 00:46, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
Okay. That's good, then, but does anybody actually have a good example of the card they can use to update the article? And do you find it odd that it's the ONLY card from the entire VS set that has an article? -Politoed666 00:48, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
Just use any of the cards with articles so far. Charizard is a good one... And... yeah that's weird. TTEchidna 00:50, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

Friend Bow

How does this article not meet the quality standards? I am an avid player of mystery dungeon, and I just cleaned it up. There's not that much more one could say! -Politoed666

Well, when you think it doesn't need the cleanup/stub status any more... remove it. TTEchidna 01:38, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
Okay! I didn't know I had the power to do that. -Politoed666 00:35, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

Confused

I've been trying to make tcg pages but I'm confused on a subject. Whenever I need to make a colorless energy graphic I originally started with this code (e|Colorless) but this other member kept telling me that the wrong way and I should be using this code to do it (e) then leaving me rude comments, so I started using that code and now you're changing them all back, which way is right? I'm trying to contribute but between rude comments and being told I'm doing things wrong its become discouraging and a real hassle to do anything. I used the minus signs so the graphic itself didn't appear when typing this. Jts21 20:25, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

Oh, um, well, for retreat costs, just use {{e}}, but for type/attacks/weaknesses/resistances, use {{e|Colorless}}. Without any input, the e template makes just a Colorless symbol, but doesn't display the word "Colorless" when hovered over:  . With the input, though, it displays the correct type: Colorless, Grass, Fire, Water, Lightning, Fighting, Psychic, Metal, Darkness. For example:

Template:Cardattack

And who left the rude comments, and where at? I can have a talk with them. TTEchidna 20:55, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

Moving Along

Can you help me fix this? This page needs deleting, and the content of this page needs to be moved back to there (in order to preserve the history). It's a big mess. Additonally, the move redirects for B óË ÁN should be fixed. However, it's difficult to reach the actual redirect page for them because of the double slash in the page name. And the guy could do with a warning, too. --DarkfireTaimatsu 21:16, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

...holy... what the hell. TTEchidna 21:22, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

Deckslists! Oh Yeah!

Okay, I've finished two of the decklists, Haymaker and Barrier Swap. See what you think. I also left a little cautionary message at the bottom of each list as reassurance to anybody that that is not the only way to build the deck. Also, I asked that if anyone wants to change it, to please inquire on the talk page first. I wouldn't want a n00b adding a Charizard to the list because it's "cool." -Politoed666 01:08, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

I've made a notice template for that purpose. All you gotta do is put {{DeckArchetype}} above where the card list starts.
Also. {{TCG}} link template, Poli. Use it use it use it! TTEchidna 03:49, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

How Rude!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
