Welcome

Welcome to Bulbapedia, Krmaranan!

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.
  • 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:Krmaranan/(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! PL12 00:34, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

Card Pages

all the card pages have a specific template and design. there are some guys around here who specialize in making them. i am not one of them, so, i cant really point you in the right direction. -- MAGNEDETH 02:57, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

Talk Page Comments

Please do not erase talk page comments for no reason. Trust me, you do NOT want to end up like Big Johnno, who got into an edit war with a sysop over comments the former erased and was trying to keep erased; he ended up blocked and ended up having every single erased comment restored. --Shiningpikablu252 03:19, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

Anime moves

Just FYI, the "rec=yes" part of that template marks a move as having been used recently (i.e. as part of their possible moveset in their last known episode), not that it is known when they were first used, so don't put it in when you are adding the episode a move was first used unless it has been used in a recent episode. Keep up the good work though. Werdnae 05:07, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

Sorry

I'm very sorry, but one of your userboxes was causing us trouble. It gave us a category we don't need, so I've had to remove it. Again, apologies. — THE TROM — 12:45, 6 June 2009 (UTC)
