A Bit of Help

Because you're new, there might be a few things to get used to on a wiki.

First things first, just because you can edit every page doesn't mean you should (for example, you probably should not make edits like this one). If you think something's cool, or you want to say hi to a user, that's what the talk page is for (the "discussion" or "talk page" tab at the top of every article). We try to keep the articles here on Bulbapedia looking fairly professional; we are an encyclopedia after all. So little notes and comments should go to the discussion pages instead.

Also, when you do edit a talk page (like I'm doing here), sign your comment with four tildes (these little squiggly ~ lines are tildes). That will automatically add your name and the date to the end of your comment, so people know who said what. (it all gets rather confusing if nobody signs.)

If you have any specific questions or anything, let me know. You can reply right here under my comment, or you can go to my talk page and ask me directly. I'll keep an eye on both pages. -- Jïörüjï Ðērākō.>.cнаt^ 22:21, 21 March 2009 (UTC)

can u help metotoRulz 22:27, 21 March 2009 (UTC)
ok so how do u put pics like i liek mudkipz (even theough i dont get it it is funny) help!!!!totoRulz 22:31, 21 March 2009 (UTC)
It appears that you haven't used a wiki before, and that's OK. For one, every time you make a comment on a talk page, make sure you use a colon (:) at the start your comment. It makes everything look prettier ;).
And for a helpful guide on editing, adding picture etc. etc. read this article. That should answer your questions. --Clarky13 22:32, 21 March 2009 (UTC)
thank you! i hav been using bulbapeidia for ever but never made an account. thank u and let me just say... I HAV VISITED UR PAGE SO MANY TIMES!!!!!!! THANK YOU. UR AWSOME totoRulz 22:36, 21 March 2009 (UTC)
Alright, let me try to answer a few more questions...
To clarify on the colon (:) deal, you can actually add a whole bunch, they indent once for each one. Whenever you reply to someone's comment, just add one more colon then they did, and it'll make a nifty little chain. Easy to read. =D
You can also add a new section to someone's talk page with the little + tab at the top of the page, since otherwise I have trouble finding your comment.
Let's see now. When you say you want to add "I liek mudkipz", do you mean like this? That's a userbox. If you add the code {{User Mudkip}} to your userpage, it'll automatically put the userbox in there.
And one more thing; pressing "enter" to make a new line doesn't actually work on a wiki, because we use HTML code for pages. If you want to make a new line, you've got to press enter twice. a little confusing, but you'll get the hang of stuff here pretty quick, don't worry. =D Use the "show preview" button a LOT, it really helps you get a feel for how the code works. -- Jïörüjï Ðērākō.>.cнаt^ 22:51, 21 March 2009 (UTC)
Not a single problem. And hilarious usertags, can be be obtained here. And help for using these tags can be got here.--Clarky13 22:58, 21 March 2009 (UTC)
sniff sniff. blowwwwwwww. u guys r so awsome. snif snif thxs
Don't worry about it, and if you have any other question don't hesitate to ask.--Clarky13 23:09, 21 March 2009 (UTC)

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhmg ok dont worry. totoRulz 23:18, 21 March 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. Instead of editing the userspace, as a wiki, we encourage users to edit the mainspace. So, if you edit the mainspace more often, you will be allowed to edit the userspace more. Thanks! --The Dark Fiddler - You enter a poorly lit room... 23:37, 21 March 2009 (UTC)

ok srytotoRulz 23:39, 21 March 2009 (UTC)

Articles

Please use good grammer and spelling...--☆Coolピカチュウ! 23:45, 21 March 2009 (UTC) once again i am new so sry! totoRulz 00:02, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

But isn't it "grammar" not "grammer"?? I'm not sure though, just asking... YukitoOoO 00:12, 22 March 2009 (UTC)


loltotoRulz 00:14, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

Please...

You've been making too many edits to the User talk: namespace lately. Please take your conversations to the forums, a chatroom, e-mail, an IM service, or something similar, as that many edits will slow down the server. ---- MAGNEDETH 00:14, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

Seriously

Read Jïörüjï Ðērākō's advise up top. You've been here for 2 hours or so, and you havnt done anything and its clear youre not familiar with how a wiki works. -- MAGNEDETH 00:14, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

so i havent done anything! what do u want me to do?totoRulz 00:15, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

well, this is a wiki. so what i want you to do here is edit articles, and improvise them in a factual manor. -- MAGNEDETH 00:19, 22 March 2009 (UTC)
I think 'Deth was trying to say "edit articles, and improve them in a factual manner".
But yes, try not to think of Bulbapedia as a social website; We have the Bulbagarden forums for that sort of stuff. (there's a link on the left.) Having a pretty userpage here is great and all, but do try to contribute to the rest of the 'pedia too. Even if you're just correcting spelling errors here and there, you're helping out.
There's no "official" limit on userpage edits, but if you're making three times as many edits to your userpage as you are to the rest of the 'pedia, then you're probably editing your userpage too much.
"Less is more", don't forget that little bit of info. Userboxes are great and all, but try not to get too excited, okay. =D
More edits like what you added to Magicarp's article are good, although in Magicarp's case, that info was already there (at the top of the page). -- Jïörüjï Ðērākō.>.cнаt^ 00:59, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

Hey!

Hi, yeah. Here's a great hint to being good at editing a wiki: hit the "edit this page" tab, but don't change anything; just look at the coding and how it corresponds to the article. It's how I did it. TTEchidna 00:52, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

What TTE said. It's a great way to get a feel for how the coding works. another trick is to actually edit the code, but DON'T SAVE IT; just hit "show preview" and see what changed. You can see what code does what on the page that way. -- Jïörüjï Ðērākō.>.cнаt^ 00:59, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

ok thnks - unsigned comment from Totojo158 (talkcontribs) 12:11, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

And be sure to sign with 4 tildes, not more or less. Thanks, Ҝəυzø8 12:14, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

ur... KEVZO8 i luv ur page! its one of the best! ur awsome totoRulz 12:15, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

uhh, thanks. ;) There are still some users that have more awesome userpage, so you might want to view their userpages as well. Ҝəυzø8 12:50, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

ok thxs totoRulz 19:28, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

Copyrights

You can't just go around copy/pasting from other sites. That is called stealing and is against the rules. Please don't do it again. MaverickNate 19:41, 22 March 2009 (UTC) ok sry! totoRulz 19:43, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

How is that?totoRulz 19:46, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

again, please dont copy/paste from other sites. it is plagiarism, which is against the rules, and in some cases, illegal. -- MAGNEDETH 19:49, 22 March 2009 (UTC) i changed it around, and how bout my idea for a movie team? totoRulz 19:50, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

Hold on!

If you did not read your last warning, then please read it now. You have edited the User: namespace too much for now. Please do not edit your page any more for now. Thank you. ---- MAGNEDETH 20:11, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

spelling

Pokémon has a capital P and an accent over the E. Please remember this. If you do not know how to make the accent, have a look at the character palette at the bottom of the editing screen. Thanks. — THE TROM — 22:44, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

That goes for using txt-style abbreviations too. — THE TROM — 22:52, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

New comments

Go on the bottom of the page, not the top.--freezingCOLD (page, talk) 20:13, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

wat i always do, and how do u indent ur phrase and how do u make a party template? totoRulz 20:18, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

Indent by putting a colon (:) at the start of your comment. For the party template, just copy paste from a page and change whatever you want, without making any redlinks or any of that, using the preview button until you have exactly what you want. And, no, not on Clarky13's page you didn't.--freezingCOLD (page, talk) 20:22, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
it just wont work, i copied and then pasted! ughhh! oh and i did put it at the bottom!totoRulz 20:28, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
Put them at the start of your comment. Also, no paranthesis. Plus, no you didnt. I had to move it to the bottom.--freezingCOLD (page, talk) 20:31, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
ok but i still cant get the party template!totoRulz 20:34, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

Stop.

Do not edit the User: namespace any more. In the past, we were not allowed to edit our pages at all because of users over-editing their pages. If you edit your page any more without making some edits to the mainspace, then the privilege for you to edit it the userspace will be removed. --RexRacer 20:32, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

wats the mainspace?totoRulz 20:35, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
Any page that does not start with Shipping:, Shipping talk:, Talk:, User:, User talk:, MediaWiki:, MediaWiki talk:, Template:, Template talk:, or any of that at the front. For example, this would be a mainspace page. this and this would not.--freezingCOLD (page, talk) 20:40, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

Wikipedia

You do not copy from Wikipedia. Our licenses are not compatible and it is frowned upon here.--☆Coolピカチュウ! 20:41, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

ok sory, also how do u get the party template? totoRulz 20:49, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
That was random. What party template? --☆Coolピカチュウ! 20:49, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
i cant get a party template, to show wat pokemon i have totoRulz 20:52, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
Is that really important...anyways just copy one from a gym leader page or user and edit it for yourself even a person with a simple mind can find the template. --☆Coolピカチュウ! 20:56, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

Okay bud.

Grammar. Gotta appreciate it. Capitalize proper nouns and adjectives, such as Normal-type. And make sure that trivia isn't duplicated. I swear there's a mention of Bibarel and Girafarig being unique among Normal-types in being dual-typed and not being part Flying like the rest of them. TTEchidna 20:58, 7 April 2009 (UTC)


sorry, i will try better, totoRulz 20:36, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

Very well.

I've been meaning to change Skarmory for a while, but never got around to it. I'll make Feraligatr the next Pokémon of the Week. SharKing Productions 12:59, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

Other people's userpages

Don't edit them. |3urn 57R1K3 17:34, 11 April 2009 (UTC)

Seriously, stop. Do it again and expect a short block.--RexRacer 17:41, 11 April 2009 (UTC)
please forgive me, LET ME EDIT MY ONW USERPAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!totoRulz 17:51, 11 April 2009 (UTC)
