From Bulbapedia, the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia.

A talk page is a built-in part of mediawiki software that allows contributors of a wiki to discuss an article. Talk pages are commonly found at (namespace name) talk:(page name); for example, the talk page for the Kanto region navigation template is at Template talk:Kanto, while the talk page for Charizard (Pokémon) is at Talk:Charizard (Pokémon).

Talk pages on Bulbapedia are usually for discussion on an article or template. They may be used to ask about a certain aspect that a reader is uncertain about in an article, poll others for an opinion on what the article should contain, or, in rare cases, discuss the subject of the article in question.

When posting on a talk page, please make sure to maintain a sense of decency; for example, do not attack others. Also, sign your posts with ~~~~ so that other users will know (without having to resort to the history of edits to the page) who left what message. This is especially convenient on user talk pages. In addition, add colons (:) to the beginning of your comment to indent it and make the flow of replies clear at a glance. The number of colons used should be one more than that used in the previous comment, though it is permissable to reduce the indenting if it comes too close to the right margin.

Talk pages should never be blanked, by the user whose page it is, nor by anyone else, unless all that is on the page is a personal attack against the user. Instead, talk pages should be archived by the user where they can be accessed by anyone.

When another user posts on your own user talk page, as well, it is commonly courteous to respond to them.
