Welcome

Welcome to Bulbapedia, Taromon777!

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.
  • Keep an eye on the Messages from the Editor on the main page, to stay informed on current events on 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 or other 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.
  • For a future capture, release, trade, or evolution of a Pokémon belonging to a main character of the anime, please do not create or move the page to reflect your suspicions, even if they are shared by many others. Policy here is to wait until the episode in which the event happens takes place is aired, unless there is substantial evidence for the suspicion (such as Brock's Happiny being held in his arms).
  • Image uploading is done on Bulbagarden Archives, a separate wiki accessible through the toolbox in the sidebar. You will have to register separately for it, as well. This is done so that both Bulbapedia and Bulbanews have access to the images uploaded.
  • If you want to make a page about a character you made up, please create it at User:Taromon777/(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.
  • Having said this, please make sure that you do contribute adequately to the main namespace. Bulbapedia is not MySpace or Facebook.
  • 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! MoldyOrange 18:53, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

Signing

Please sign your comments on talk pages--Pokelova 05:54, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

Please listen to this, it is very important. The Dark Fiddler - Nos hablamos? 18:30, 7 January 2009 (UTC)
To quote the welcome message:

"On talk pages, please sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~)." The Dark Fiddler - Nos hablamos? 18:53, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

You can also click where it shows those under the box where you edit or the squiggle above that box.--MisterE13 19:37, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

Links, templates, and preview

When you want to make a link, you use square brackets, like this: [[Match Place]]. Curly brackets are used for templates, which we do use frequently for links, but you should review link templates and see the list of link templates before you use them. Usually they look something like this: {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}. Finally, please use the "Show preview" button when you're making an edit to make sure you're actually doing what you want to do. Thanks! — Laoris (Blah) 23:25, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

Hi

I noticed you have been editing the User: namespace a lot today. You may not be aware of this, but Bulbapedia has a Userspace policy that asks users to try and minimize the number of Userspace edits they make in a short period of time. Instead of making multiple edits, why not use the Preview button (Alt + Shift + P) located right next to the edit button to look at your page and see how it is coming? That way, your page can look great while staying within the required amount of edits. Just wait until tomorrow, ok? Thanks! --×Kevzo8 13:07, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

Hold on!

If you did not read your last warning, then please read it now. You have edited the User: namespace to much for now. Please do not edit your page any more for now, as it is hard on the server. Thank you, ---- MAGNEDETH 19:23, 12 February 2009 (UTC)

well, just be aware, you dont want to edit the userspace too much. it is against the rules. try making some mainspace edits. also, use the preview button, that will let you make a lot of edits, but only count at one edit. lastly, you dont need to come to my page to respond, just do it right here on your page. -- MAGNEDETH 20:23, 12 February 2009 (UTC)

Projects?

Does anyone know of a Bulbapedia project I could help out with? I'm excited to start making bigger contributions to the site but I don't really know where to start! Taromon777 22:19, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

*cough* User:Theryguy512/Anime Dex Project *cough* --Theryguy512 22:21, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
There is also a category which contains all of the current Bulbapedia Projects: Bulbapedia projects, as well as a page : Projects --Theryguy512 22:23, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

I just tried to edit my page but when I clicked "save" it didn't save! I've just lost all the changes I made. Does anyone have an explaination? I'll have to wait until tomorrow now, I've done too many changes already. Taromon777 10:19, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

Sorry, the server must have been down at that exact second. Unless you can go "back" you've lost everything you've done. — THE TROM — 10:25, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

Website

Is it OK to have a link to my Pokémon website on my user page? Just thought I'd better check first. Taromon777 10:44, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

At least I don't see any reason why that would be disallowed. UltimateSephiroth (about me · chat · edits) 10:47, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

i could help

instead of having your party a list of just links i could make tables for you. just put the moves and genders and hold items on my talk page and ill put the tables on my talk page and you could just copy it and put it on your page. and wait there's more! its all for free!!! ill do it as a friendly friend on bulby. --Usyflad10 22:40, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

Oh, that would be great, thanks! I'll give you the details next time I've got my GameBoy handy. And I'll credit you on my user page of course! Taromon777 08:59, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
great. just leave the details on my talk page HERE. --Usyflad10 19:32, 24 July 2009 (UTC)
Hey, make sure to put my talk page on your watch list. --Usyflad10 21:25, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

THE TABLES ARE DONE!!! NOW YOU CAN COPY. HOORAY!!!! and your welcome. --Usyflad10 21:45, 27 July 2009 (UTC)


Wi-Fi

Did Wi-Fi crash your DS? It didn't crash mine. Please see my talk. TOMMY-SAN *(MyTalk)* 16:33, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

It's only about as deadly as the radio waves that we watch TV on or listen to music on are. Everything's gonna kill you someday. Don't become some wimpy conspiracy theory nut who believes the Sun's UV rays are EVIL EVIL and will kill you instantly if you touch them so you wrap yourself in aluminium foil.
Brain cancer, psh. There are worse ways to go. TTEchidna 23:12, 11 September 2009 (UTC)
I think I'd rather get eaten by a Wailord myself! Taromon777 16:00, 12 September 2009 (UTC)

Signiatures?

How do you make a fancy signiature for when you sign edits on a talk page? Taromon777 20:27, 18 September 2009 (UTC)

This page gives guidelines for signatures and also has an example. —darklordtrom 06:05, 19 September 2009 (UTC)
How do I change the font of my signiature? I tried it and it just said something like: "Invalid signiature. Check HTML tags". --Taromon777 11:45, 3 November 2009 (UTC)
<span style="font-family:FONT NAME"> STUFF </span>darklordtrom 05:46, 4 November 2009 (UTC)
I tried that but my sig is still the same font! --Taromon777 11:43, 4 November 2009 (UTC)
Try this: [[User:Taromon777|<span style="color:turquoise; font-family:Arial Black">'''''Taromon777'''''</span>]]
--ForceFire 11:56, 4 November 2009 (UTC)
Yay! It works! Thanks! Taromon777 12:03, 4 November 2009 (UTC)

Pokémon Annual

Would it help if I expanded the sections of Pokémon Annual with the annuals I own? With the 2008 annual, shall I use the text from the annuals themselves for the Pokémon profiles? If so, I will be starting work tomorrow. Regards, Samjohn95 22:26, 29 November 2009 (UTC)

That would be a great help, thanks! Do you have a scanner? Or know anyone who does have one? We really need pictures of the covers! Taromon 22:59, 29 November 2009 (UTC)
I've got a scanner, but I don't know if the pictures would be OK. I only have Annual 2005, 2008 and 2009. I'll get 2005, if I can! From Samjohn95 16:48, 2 December 2009 (UTC)
I've managed to find pictures of all the annuals from 2006 onwards on Amazon.com, but thanks anyway! Taromon 21:30, 2 December 2009 (UTC)
Wow, the picture of the 2005 annual looks great! Thanks! Taromon 21:31, 2 December 2009 (UTC)

Routes

Could you stop adding the required moves to the articles for now? While the Project Leader did say that the Route Description was a section that it would fit in, it may fit somewhere better. If you could give the staff some time to discuss these additions, that would be great. - Kogoro | Talk to me - 12:16, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

Er, OK, sorry about that. It's just that someone on the Main Page talk said it was a brilliant idea. If you're windering why I was putting "Requirements" with "Moves" underneath, it's for the routes in Hoenn and Sinnoh where a bicycle is required. But don't worry, I'll stop for the time being. Maybe this should be discussed on the Project Routes talk page? Taromon 12:19, 13 February 2010 (UTC)
