'''Bulbapedia's userspace policy''' defines the rules of editing in the userspace - that is, pages prefixed by "User:". Bulbapedia is a community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia. To support building this community, editors may create a "userspace" page with personal content. Userpages may be used to describe your primary editing focus on Bulbapedia, provide general biographical information, discuss your history with Pokémon, or share other personal information. Users who violate the userspace policy may face sanctions, including losing the ability to edit their userpage. New users must make a number of {{bp|mainspace}} edits before they are allowed to create their userpage.

This policy divides userspace edits into two categories: constructive edits and personal edits.
* '''Constructive edits''' include content that is meant to be moved into the mainspace, or content that is meant to assist with mainspace projects. Some examples include (but are not limited to):
** Drafts of new articles, or drafts revising existing articles.
** Drafts of new templates, or drafts revising existing templates.
** Experimentation with page layouts, CSS, or tables, with the intent of improving the mainspace.
** Organizing tasks for a mainspace project, for example a to-do list, action plan, phases, etc.
** Storing mainspace-relevant data, pending a place in the mainspace to put it.
Constructive edits in the userspace are unlimited, but follow the same general editing guidance as pages on the mainspace.
* '''Personal edits''' focus on content that is ''not'' intended to be moved into the mainspace. Some examples include (but are not limited to):
** Listings of the user's interests, collections, or favorite characters.
** Visuals, such as HP bars, custom graphics, or teams of the user's Pokémon.
** Listings of the user's social media handles, or links to other websites.

Personal edits are subject to the following limits:
* at most three personal userspace edits per user per day, AND
* at least one more mainspace edit than personal userspace edit per user per day.

For example, if you wish to make one personal userspace edit, you must make at least two mainspace edits. All personal edits to pages in your userspace (including subpages, e.g. User:Exapmle/My Team,) collectively count toward this edit limit.

Under certain circumstances, the userspace may be limited to one or no edits per person per day, to maintain consistent function of the mainspace.

==Warnings==
Warnings will be issued to users who edit their userspace excessively, whether in violation of the constructive edits rules or personal edit limits. If a user makes excessive edits, they will be given their first warning, which instructs them to not edit the userspace so much and to use the preview button. Additional warnings may be issued if the user disregards the initial warnings.

If the user continues despite the repeated warnings, they may face loss of the ability to edit userpages, either on a short-term basis or (after multiple warnings and a short-term block) permanently.

==Content restrictions==
Restrictions on content include a ban on [[wp:Pornography|pornographic]] or obscene material in any form. Additionally, none of the following are allowed on subpages:

* '''User-hosted activities (such as games, missions, or riddles)''' - Bulbapedia's main purpose is to offer encyclopedic info about Pokémon, and that should be the main reason for people to visit the site, not to play mini-games in userspace pages.
* '''Fan fiction (fan-made narratives using the world or characters of Pokémon)''' - Bulbapedia is not meant to be a site to host these creations. Instead, these can be shared [http://forums.bulbagarden.net/index.php?forums/writers-workshop.227/ on the Bulbagarden forums].
* '''Friend lists/pages''' - Bulbapedia is not meant to be a social networking site. The [[Bulbagarden]] [http://forums.bulbagarden.net/index.php forums] have friend lists.
* '''User-created awards''' - These are considered a form of friend listing.
* '''FAQ pages (pages that list several commonly-asked questions and answers)''' - These should be put in the mainspace as regularly formatted articles, or content within existing articles.
* '''Spoofing the MediaWiki interface''' (fake "new messages" boxes or other system-generated messages) - This can at best act as a prank and become an annoyance, or at worst trick users into phishing. Intentionally confusing or tricking users in this way is irresponsible.
* '''Categories intended for mainspace pages''' (categories such as [[:Category:Pokémon]]) - These are a navigational aid between mainspace pages, and as such should not include userpages; this includes categories added automatically by some templates, so make sure to use a non-categorising version if possible. If there isn't an alternate version available for a template, adding the field <code>|nocat=1</code> or <code>|cat=no</code> to the template call will usually disable categories.
* Anything else deemed inappropriate by the {{bp|Leadership Board}} will be deleted. If you feel your material was taken down unreasonably or in error, contact whoever did it for their reasoning. Contact a {{bp|staff member}} if you want to know if something not specified here is allowed or not: they are all here to help.

If you see that someone has something snazzy on their userpage (for example, a talk page HP bar, random Pokémon generator or customized party template), then you must ask their permission before using it on your own userpage.

==Content deletion==
Users at {{bp|Administrator}} level or above have the authority to delete any content breaching the userspace policy. Offenders will generally be given a day or two to "rescue" their content and save it somewhere that isn't on Bulbapedia.

If you wish to have your own content deleted (one or two pages), simply tag the page with {{template|delete}}. If you wish to delete multiple pages (such as a collection of sandbox pages) then contact an active Administrator or Leadership Board member on their talk page. This will reduce edits and save the [[Special:RecentChanges|list of recent changes]] from temporarily being spammed.

==Circumventing the userspace policy==
A user breaches the userspace policy when they attempt to avoid the restrictions on userspace content by:

* Creating a page in the mainspace and putting personal edits on that page.
* Treating their {{bp|talk page}} as an area for personal content (a two sentence blurb is fine, provided you don't keep editing it excessively; posting teams or usertags on your talk page is not).
* Asking another user to edit the userspace for them.
* Creating {{DL|Bulbapedia:Blocking policy|additional accounts}} and editing personal content with that account.

Content in breach of the policy will be deleted.

==Other users' pages==
Userpages are personal pages, and are not to be edited by other users. Content should not be added to or removed from a userpage (excluding Talk pages) by any user other than the creator of the page. Spelling mistakes, grammatical errors, and other minor things that do not affect the overall running of Bulbapedia are to be left untouched. However, if permission is given by the owner of the page, other users may make edits. For example, if a user gives you permission to edit a section in their sandbox page, you may only edit that section, not their entire sandbox page.

In certain circumstances, users may edit another user's page without needing prior permission from that user. These circumstances include:
* Fixing broken links that appear on the [[Special:WantedPages|wanted pages]]
* Fixing links to pages or images that have been moved
* Uncategorizing a userpage that is in a category intended for mainspace pages
* Reverting vandalism
If a change you wish to make to another user's page does not fall under one of the above categories, ask for permission on the userpage's talk page. If the user does not respond, ask an Administrator. If the Administrator gives you permission, please note this permission in the edit summary.

==If you currently cannot edit your userpage==
If you find yourself unable to edit your userpage, this may be due to one of four reasons:
* Your account is not {{bp|Autoconfirmed users|autoconfirmed}}: a special status that is required before you can edit your userpage; this can be automatically earned by editing Bulbapedia's {{bp|mainspace}}.
* You have been put into the "abuse" usergroup for violating this policy.
* Your userpage has been protected: contact the protecting Administrator for assistance.
* Your account has been [[Bulbapedia:Blocking policy|blocked]] (either from just the userspace, or from the entire site), in which case you will have to wait out the block.

If you cannot edit your userpage and do not seem to fit one of these four categories, seek help from a {{bp|staff member}}.

Bulbapedia:Userspace policy

2024-05-29T18:58:22Z

Evkl: Various grammatical cleanups, removed a few sections that were redundant or small, clarified constructive vs. personal edits and some of the content items.

Nutshell: Constructive edits in the userspace are unlimited, but personal edits are limited to three times per server day. Balance your personal edits with your encyclopedic edits. Additionally, some content is prohibited.

'''Bulbapedia's userspace policy''' defines the rules of editing in the userspace - that is, pages prefixed by "User:". Bulbapedia is a community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia. To support building a community, our editors each have their own "userspace" page where they may add personal content. Userpages may be used to describe your primary editing focus on Bulbapedia, provide general biographical information, discuss your history with Pokémon, or other personal information. Users who violate the userspace policy rule may face sanctions, including losing the ability to edit their userpage. New users must make a number of {{bp|mainspace}} edits before they are allowed to create their userpage.

This policy divides userspace edits into two categories: constructive edits and personal edits.
* '''Constructive edits''' include content that is meant to be moved into the mainspace, or content that is meant to assist with mainspace projects. Some examples include (but are not limited to):
** Drafts of new articles, or drafts revising existing articles.
** Drafts of new templates, or drafts revising existing templates.
** Experimentation with page layouts, CSS, or tables, with the intent of improving the mainspace.
** Organizing tasks for a mainspace project, for example a to-do list, action plan, phases, etc.
** Storing mainspace-relevant data, pending a place in the mainspace to put it.
Constructive edits in the userspace are unlimited, but follow the same general editing guidance as pages on the mainspace.
* '''Personal edits''' focus on content that is ''not'' intended to be moved into the mainspace. Some examples include (but are not limited to):
** Listings of the user's interests, collections, or favorite characters.
** Visuals, such as HP bars, custom graphics, or teams of the user's Pokémon.
** Listings of the user's social media handles, or links to other websites.

Personal edits are subject to the following limits:
* at most three personal userspace edits per user per day, AND
* at least one more mainspace edit than personal userspace edit per user per day.

For example, if you wish to make one personal userspace edit, you must make at least two mainspace edits. All pages in your userspace (including subpages, e.g. User:Exapmle/My Team,) collectively count toward this edit limit.

Under certain circumstances, the userspace may be limited to one or no edits per person per day, to maintain consistent function of the mainspace.

==Warnings==
Warnings will be issued to users who edit their userspace excessively. While the definition of "excessive" is up to the person who sees this, a guideline would be seeing multiple edits to the same or multiple userpages within a very short timeframe. If a user has done this, they will be given their first warning, which instructs them to not edit the userspace so much and to use the preview button.

Blatant disregard for the first warning leads to a second, then to a third, and if the user continues despite the repeated warnings, loss of the ability to edit userpages. Rather than do this, Bulbapedia has a social forum, as well as blogs, for the details of its users' everyday lives, found in the ''Bulbawiki forum'' link on the sidebar.

==Content==
Restrictions on content include a ban on [[wp:Pornography|pornographic]] or obscene material in any form. Additionally, none of the following are allowed on subpages:

* '''User-hosted activities (such as games, missions, or riddles)''' - Bulbapedia's main purpose is to offer encyclopedic info about Pokémon, and that should be the main reason for people to visit the site, not to play mini-games in userspace pages.
* '''Fan fiction (fan-made narratives using the world or characters of Pokémon)''' - Bulbapedia is not meant to be a site to host these creations. Instead, these can be shared [http://forums.bulbagarden.net/index.php?forums/writers-workshop.227/ on the Bulbagarden forums].
* '''Friend lists/pages''' - Bulbapedia is not meant to be a social networking site. The [[Bulbagarden]] [http://forums.bulbagarden.net/index.php forums] have friend lists.
* '''User-created awards''' - These are considered a form of friend listing.
* '''FAQ pages (pages that list several commonly-asked questions and answers)''' - These should be put in the mainspace as regularly formatted articles, or content within existing articles.
* '''Spoofing the MediaWiki interface''' (fake "new messages" boxes or other system-generated messages) - This can at best act as a prank and become an annoyance, or at worst trick users into phishing. Intentionally confusing or tricking users in this way is irresponsible.
* '''Categories intended for mainspace pages''' (categories such as [[:Category:Pokémon]]) - These are a navigational aid between mainspace pages, and as such should not include userpages; this includes categories added automatically by some templates, so make sure to use a non-categorising version if possible. If there isn't an alternate version available for a template, adding the field <code>|nocat=1</code> or <code>|cat=no</code> to the template call will usually disable categories.
* Anything else deemed inappropriate by the {{bp|Leadership Board}} will be deleted. If you feel your material was taken down unreasonably or in error, contact whoever did it for their reasoning. Contact a {{bp|staff member}} if you want to know if something not specified here is allowed or not: they are all here to help.

If you see that someone has something snazzy on their userpage (for example, a talk page HP bar, random Pokémon generator or customized party template), then you must ask their permission before using it on your own userpage.

==Content deletion==
Users at {{bp|Administrator}} level or above have the authority to delete any content breaching the userspace policy. Offenders will generally be given a day or two to "rescue" their content and save it somewhere that isn't on Bulbapedia.

If you wish to have your own content deleted (one or two pages), simply tag the page with {{template|delete}}. If you wish to delete multiple pages (such as a collection of sandbox pages) then contact an active Administrator or Leadership Board member on their talk page. This will reduce edits and save the [[Special:RecentChanges|list of recent changes]] from temporarily being spammed.

==Circumventing the userspace policy==
A user breaches the userspace policy when they attempt to avoid the restrictions on userspace content by:

* Creating a page in the mainspace and putting personal edits on that page.
* Treating their {{bp|talk page}} as an area for personal content (a two sentence blurb is fine, provided you don't keep editing it excessively; posting teams or usertags on your talk page is not).
* Asking another user to edit the userspace for them.
* Creating {{DL|Bulbapedia:Blocking policy|additional accounts}} and editing personal content with that account.

Content in breach of the policy will be deleted.

==Other users' pages==
Userpages are personal pages, and are not to be edited by other users. Content should not be added to or removed from a userpage (excluding Talk pages) by any user other than the creator of the page. Spelling mistakes, grammatical errors, and other minor things that do not affect the overall running of Bulbapedia are to be left untouched. However, if permission is given by the owner of the page, other users may make edits. For example, if a user gives you permission to edit a section in their sandbox page, you may only edit that section, not their entire sandbox page.

In certain circumstances, users may edit another user's page without needing prior permission from that user. These circumstances include:
* Fixing broken links that appear on the [[Special:WantedPages|wanted pages]]
* Fixing links to pages or images that have been moved
* Uncategorizing a userpage that is in a category intended for mainspace pages
* Reverting vandalism
If a change you wish to make to another user's page does not fall under one of the above categories, ask for permission on the userpage's talk page. If the user does not respond, ask an Administrator. If the Administrator gives you permission, please note this permission in the edit summary.

==If you currently cannot edit your userpage==
If you find yourself unable to edit your userpage, this may be due to one of four reasons:
* Your account is not {{bp|Autoconfirmed users|autoconfirmed}}: a special status that is required before you can edit your userpage; this can be automatically earned by editing Bulbapedia's {{bp|mainspace}}.
* You have been put into the "abuse" usergroup for violating this policy.
* Your userpage has been protected: contact the protecting Administrator for assistance.
* Your account has been [[Bulbapedia:Blocking policy|blocked]] (either from just the userspace, or from the entire site), in which case you will have to wait out the block.

If you cannot edit your userpage and do not seem to fit one of these four categories, seek help from a {{bp|staff member}}.

== Adult content on Wikipedia ==

Adult content on Wikipedia is not of concern as they cover a whole range of topic and therefore will have links to adult stuff on various pages (if appropriate), doesn't make them an adult site. The onus is on the user if they want to click on it or not, and whether kids will click on the link or not is beyond our control. Just as long the target page doesn't have any explicit imagery, then it should be fine, otherwise it should be marked "NSFW".--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 08:07, 21 January 2022 (UTC)

:The reason I am concerned about this is because I'm worried about parental reactions to this type of content. I personally have known about this content on Wikipedia for some time and I think I mentioned on one occasion that I've noticed the adult content creep gradually into everyday topics on Wikipedia pages.
Additionally, I have known of kids to get punished for accidentally accessing adult content on sites such as Wikipedia, simply because they did not know it was there (or that it existed for that matter). Personally I find some of the content on Wikipedia morally indecent and would have been better off not knowing about it. That's why I am so opposed to having Wikipedia links on this site. [[User:Mario60866|Mario60866]] ([[User talk:Mario60866|talk]]) 08:12, 21 January 2022 (UTC)
::Again, it's beyond our control. IF you are really concerned and have problems about the content on Wikipedia, it's best to bring it up to them and not us, as it's their site.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 08:16, 21 January 2022 (UTC)

While what is on Wikipedia is beyond our control, what is not is that there are links to Wikipedia which could potentially lead to inappropriate content. I know of plenty of other sites which we could be using to avoid a site such as Wikipedia to begin with, though when it comes to the internet it gets difficult because everything (except Pokemon) on the internet has a tendency to be infiltrated by these types of content I have moral concerns with. [[User:Mario60866|Mario60866]] ([[User talk:Mario60866|talk]]) 08:23, 21 January 2022 (UTC)
:If I can interject here, everyone has a different view to the world, I'm sure there are things you're fine with that im probably not. Personally I don't like the fact and feel kids these days are subjected to a lot of guns and violence since that's what's society likes to pump out. That being said, Encyclopaedias are primarily there to inform from a neutral point of view, not to censor information in order to conform to some individual bias. Nothing on the pages you tried to remove is NSFW. If a child is punished for looking for information on a well known and accepted neutral source like wikipedia, to be honest I think that speaks more of the parents than it does of the child. [[User:4iamking|4iamking]] ([[User talk:4iamking|talk]]) 08:27, 21 January 2022 (UTC)

4iamking, I do not recall trying to remove pages, though I did attempt to remove various page content for these reasons.
Wikipedia has topics about truly damaging topics which should not be linked to on a site like this. I understand where you are coming from about encyclopedias being non-biased or censored but especially in today's society every parent is overly strict with no exceptions. That's why I would take a precaution such as this to avoid these types of things happening before they even happen. [[User:Mario60866|Mario60866]] ([[User talk:Mario60866|talk]]) 08:31, 21 January 2022 (UTC)
:I meant the links that you tried to remove, sorry if that was misworded. And if that is the case, all I can say, is that i'm glad I didn't have the displeasure of having had such parents, but regardless that has nothing to do with Bulbapedia.[[User:4iamking|4iamking]] ([[User talk:4iamking|talk]]) 08:41, 21 January 2022 (UTC)

You're right, maybe I just had bad parents who were overly obsessed with punishing me to hell and back. I'm sorry if I seemed argumentative or rude. [[User:Mario60866|Mario60866]] ([[User talk:Mario60866|talk]]) 08:43, 21 January 2022 (UTC)

:If you did, you would stand down, and stop trying to start an edit war. If hypothetically some overprotective parents somewhere feel the need to punish a child for clicking on a Wikipedia/3rd party link, as previously stated not a concern on this site as we can't control that, and those parents would probably have to keep their child away from every public school, because an elementary school biology/sex-ed class might have them killed! Jokes aside, just stop.[[User:4iamking|4iamking]] ([[User talk:4iamking|talk]]) 09:16, 21 January 2022 (UTC)

== Partial block ==

As you have continued to try to push your views on Wikipedia and adult content, you have been blocked from editing [[Gender]] for three days. Do not continuously remove information that was added back in, it falls under [[edit warring]] and is a blockable offense. Because of your recent comment in [[Talk:Gender]], I'm unsure if you are doing this out of actual concern or if you are just trolling.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 09:24, 21 January 2022 (UTC)

I am not trolling; I have legitimate concerns with this. [[User:Mario60866|Mario60866]] ([[User talk:Mario60866|talk]]) 14:05, 21 January 2022 (UTC)

== Personal content ==
Please do not add your personal opinions and views onto the articles, they are inappropriate for a wiki, keep that to your userpage. And do not make usertags in the mainspace, create it in your userspace and wait for it to be approved. {{unsigned|Force Fire}}

==Userspace limits==
Hello. I have noticed that you have been editing the <code>User:</code> namespace a lot recently, and have made a total of 4+ userspace edits today. Please do not edit the userspace any more, as the {{bp|userspace policy}} limits the amount you can edit your userpage: No more than three edits per day (by {{wp|UTC}}), and you must contribute to the {{bp|mainspace}} more than you edit your user page(s). This policy was instated to promote people helping out in the mainspace, and also to control strain on our servers. Bulbapedia is an encyclopedia, after all, so help us out by contributing to some articles before coming back to your personal page(s). The more often you edit in the mainspace, the more you will be allowed to edit your user page(s). Thank you. --[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 07:52, 27 January 2022 (UTC)

I'm so sorry about this. The reason why last night I was editing my user space so much was because it's my first time making it and I was correcting mistakes. I included tons of details because I feel super lonely and wanted to tell people about me without being called slurs like my family does to me.
In the future I'll edit the main space more. [[User:Mario60866|Mario60866]] ([[User talk:Mario60866|talk]]) 16:02, 27 January 2022 (UTC)

== Userpage edit ==

I think you don't mind it, but I had to make [[Special:Diff/3476809|this edit]] to your userpage. It was just to remove the page from the category of {{cat|pages using duplicate arguments in template calls}}. --'''''[[User:Bfdifan2006|Bfdifan2006]]'''''[[User talk:Bfdifan2006|something to say?]] · [[Special:Contributions/Bfdifan2006|My work documentation]] 16:54, 12 February 2022 (UTC)

== My Username and Email Address are indexed on StopForumSpam ==

There is a website calling itself "StopForumSpam.com" and it has indexed my username and email wrongly as a spammer. Next to it, there is also an index under my IP address with several other usernames which do not belong to me. I think the other usernames belong to my older brother Zachary, who is known to troll on websites I go to.

Is anyone else here aware of this? How can I get it taken down? [[User:Mario60866|Mario60866]] ([[User talk:Mario60866|talk]]) 06:09, 23 February 2022 (UTC)

== Eevee ==

Please do not edit war, if you disagree with an edit, take it to the talk page of the article in dispute or the talk page of the user that reverted you. Eevee's gender difference is in the shape of a flower when viewed from top down, as the pattern surrounds her tail, and not just a part of her tail.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 06:13, 11 March 2022 (UTC)

But to make a flower in drawing, the easiest way is to string hearts together in a circle. It also looks like a heart from the side and you typically aren't looking at Eevee from its behind unless you're using it in battle in which case it's still a partial side view. [[User:Mario60866|Mario60866]] ([[User talk:Mario60866|talk]]) 18:34, 12 March 2022 (UTC)

== Troll on my YouTube channel ==

Someone is posting mean comments on my YouTube channel's videos under the username "Wobbuffet Troll". This started today when I noticed a comment by this person pop up while I was publishing a video.
If it is any of you here on Bulbapedia, please stop.
If you think you know who it is, please let me know so I can block them. [[User:Mario60866|Mario60866]] ([[User talk:Mario60866|talk]]) 13:42, 18 March 2022 (UTC)

== Another userpage edit ==

[[Special:Diff/3498127]] - had to do this because you said you didn't know how to insert the {{template|User Pokéwalker}} or {{template|User Let's Go, Eevee!}} templates. The rest, I stated in the edit summary. --'''''[[User:Bfdifan2006|Bfdifan2006]]''''' ([[User talk:Bfdifan2006|T]]/[[Special:Contributions/Bfdifan2006|C]]) 13:25, 22 March 2022 (UTC)

== [[Bulbapedia:Userspace policy|Userspace policy]] ==

Over the past week you have only made two edits to the mainspace and five edits to your userspace. Please make sure that a majority of your future edits contribute to the mainspace. You should always make at least one more mainspace edit than userspace each day e.g. if you've made two userspace edits, you should make three productive mainspace edits.

Hi - saw your message on my talk page. Can you reach out to me on Discord so we can chat more easily? I'm an admin there. discord.gg/bulbagarden - or write me back if you'd like to chat via another method. -- '''[[User:evkl|evkl]]''' [[User_talk:evkl|(need to talk?)]] 15:20, 4 April 2022 (UTC)

User:Evkl/Talk page policy

2022-04-04T15:18:58Z

Evkl: Fixing broken image.

{{Nutshell|Talk pages are not forums for open discussion. They are to be used to discuss improvements to articles, templates and policies, or for direct communication with another user.}}

The '''Bulbapedia talk page policy''' explains how to use talk pages appropriately on Bulbapedia. You should follow these guidelines when editing a talk page or user talk page.

==What is a talk page?==
[[File:Option tabs.png|thumb|right|320px|Click the discussion tab to go to the talk page.]]
A talk page is a built-in part of the {{wp|MediaWiki}} software that runs Bulbapedia. Every {{bp|namespace}} has its own talkspace; every article has a talk page attached to it. Every user has their own personal user talk page where you can leave them a message.

To get to an article's talk page, click the "discussion" tab at the top of the page. The talk page for this policy page can be found at [[{{NAMESPACE}} talk:{{PAGENAME}}]].

==How should a talk page be used?==
Generally, talk pages are for '''discussing how to improve an article'''. Talk pages can be used to:
* Discuss errors or disputes of fact
* Suggest new trivia
* Question reliability of information
* Ask another user on their user talk page for help, or help them

===Editing in sections===
Talk pages have their discussion topics ordered chronologically into sections. When you start a new topic, create it manually at the bottom of the page, or use the '''(+)''' button to do this automatically. This keeps talk pages in chronological order. Please title your section appropriately so others can see at a glance what you are talking about.

When you reply to a section started by someone else, [[Bulbapedia:Wikicode#Text formatting|indent your comments]] (using <nowiki>: </nowiki> for one indent; <nowiki>:: </nowiki> for two indents; etc) to distinguish them from the previous comments. New comments in a section must always go at the bottom of the section, regardless of where the comment being replied to is in the discussion, and be an additional level indented from the previous comment. This helps keep comments in order and prevents confusion as to what had been discussed prior to specific comments.

===Signing comments===
All comments left on talk pages must have a signature left afterwards. Unlike on most forums and message boards, this is not done automatically by the software. To leave a signature, either type <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki> or click [[File:Signature button.png]] (above the editing pane) when you have finished your contribution to the discussion.

Signing comments is required so that readers can identify who is saying what, and when they are saying it. If a recent comment has been left unsigned, then any editor may amend it with the {{template|unsigned}} template. If you forget to sign when you save the page, then you must add the unsigned template; otherwise the time stamps in the discussion will be wrong.

===Talk page etiquette===
* Do not edit another user's discussion — even if it's full of spelling errors.
* Removing comments is prohibited
** {{bp|Administrators}} may remove spam, content that would be better suited to the Bulbagarden forums, or a reply to a finished conversation older than six months
* Do not reply to a conversation where the last update is more than six months old, unless an old conversation is still relevant and there is a good reason to revisit it
* Do not leave overly long or confusing messages; organize your thoughts clearly for the benefit of other editors.
* Keep the conversation in one place; this presents a clear narrative to others and allows the page history to be used to check the history of the discussion. This also allows additional users to know where to join in the conversation
* Always abide by the {{bp|code of conduct}}

When a talk page gets very long, it will be archived by a {{bp|staff member}} or, [[#My user talk page|in the case of a user talk page]], the user.

==What are inappropriate uses of a talk page?==
Talk pages are not {{wp|water cooler}}s or places for general discussion. The [http://forums.bulbagarden.net/index.php Bulbagarden Forums] should be used for all general discussion of Pokémon or community-related topics. For instance, on Bulbapedia talk pages, it is not acceptable to:
* Post predictions or commentary related to a game or anime episode
* Comment on the subject of the article (e.g. "I like Ash because he has a hat")
* Leave abusive messages to a user on their user talk page
* Use your own user talk page as a substitute for a user page (see [[Bulbapedia:Userspace policy#Circumventing the userspace policy]])
* Leave non-substantive or off-topic posts (e.g. "ok, thanks!")
* {{wp|Spam (electronic)|Spam}} the same or similar messages across multiple pages
* Have lengthy discussions not related to Bulbapedia. For this, use the [[Bulbagarden Forums]]' Private Message or Visitor Message functions.

If you post a comment on a talk page that is unacceptable for any of the above reasons, it may be removed by any other user. If you remove an unacceptable comment from a talk page, please state what is wrong with it in your edit summary.

If a user repeatedly leaves inappropriate messages on a talk page then they should be warned by a {{bp|staff member}} and may be blocked.

==My user talk page==
[[File:Movepage.png|thumb|right|400px|Use the "page move" function to archive your talk page to a suitable location.]]
[[Special:Mytalk|This page is your user talk page]]. Even so, you still need to abide by the rules of the talk page policy on this page.

Don't remove comments, including your initial welcome message. This is for historical purposes and so Bulbapedia staff don't give repeated warnings about the same thing. When your page gets long enough, you may archive it by moving it to a new location.

===Archiving user talk pages===
Instead of deleting any and all information on talk pages, you should archive your talk page by moving it to a new location. By simply copying and pasting the text, or by moving small sections at a time, it breaks the time line of the edit history.

An ideal location to move your talk page to is '''User:Username/Archive Number'''. So, if [[User:Example]] wanted to make his first archive, he would move his talk page to "User talk:Example/Archive 1". His second archive would be at "User talk:Example/Archive 2", and so on. Simple variations on this naming style are allowed, for example: "User talk:Example/First archive"; please avoid overly complex or obscure descriptions.

When you have finished creating your archive, remember to remove the redirect that will now be found on your talk page so that new discussions can take place. For ease of access, be sure to link to all of your archived talk pages on your new talk page.

==Other user's talk pages==
Like you, every user that registers has their own talk page, and like any other talk page, users still must abide by the rules of the talk page policy. However, there are a few specific rules users will need to follow when on another users talk page.

* Users are allowed to have minor specific rules that fit their benefits, as long as they comply with this talk page policy
* Staff are allowed to respond on other staff members' talk pages if the requested staff member is not available
**Likewise, if the staff members share authority over a specific area, they are encouraged to respond to talk page messages on each other's talk page
* If a discussion on a user's talk page starts to break the talk page policy, or the code of conduct, a staff member may intervene

== why... ==
because you get warned for editing your Userspace too much(really, unless it fills the recent changes, is there really such a thing as editing the Userspace too much?), and if you continue you get your Userspace Locked, and you can't edit, plus your restricted on what you can put(besides the porn that should stay restricted) that's why --[[User:Cookiezard|Cookiezard]] 20:53, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

== Home Page ==

I would just like to point out that, under '''Current Events''' on the Home Page, Where it says that the 142nd Episode of D/P is coming out featuring Togepi. Togepi, however, is misspelled "Togepy", and if you could alter that, thank you.

Nothing major, just soemthing I noticed that bugs me.

[[User:MasterBall|MasterBall]] 18:50, 10 August 2009 (UTC)
:That's not a misspelling, that's Togepi's Japanese name in Romaji. Bulbanews uses the Romaji names when they report about Japanese stuff such as new episodes.

I would like you to know that Sonichu is a REAL Pokemon. I know, because I have over 9 years of canon from him and his world, and have been in talks with Nintendo to put Sonichu and Rosechu into animal crossing, and have been in talk with Sega to make a Sonichu video game. Please consider this. Thank you. I will dare to keep my dreams alive. --[[User:CWCSonichuChandler|CWCSonichuChandler]] 02:33, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

Kenji-girl has deleted my page because she doesn't like me. She told me to make less edits, a few weeks ago, since then, I have only made 1 edit to the page, and she deleted my page. Can she do this? I really want my page back, I'm making sure I behave, as I don't want to get banned here and lose my page, now she's taken my page, even though I've done nothing wrong. [[User:Max King|Max King]] 16:10, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

== Huh. ==

TTE's gone, so I think that you're the right person to report that. [http://archives.bulbagarden.net/wiki/File:AshMonferno.png See what one of your your trusted admins does!] Using banned users as scapegoats is like the most pathetic thing that an admin can do. If normal user did it, he'd be permabanned for that. And I'm not questioning anyone's authority. Just reporting the thing that bothered me. And I realize that it's pretty old (I just returned from holidays). But seeing that the image is still there, I assume that the issue hasn't been settled. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 07:21, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
:It's the image that was offensive. It said "Kuki is a stupid hotlinker with pregnancy fetish" or something like that (there was more, I don't recall everything and it was uploaded by Ketsuban. Hell, I should have taken a screenshot of it. I should've known that she'd delete it. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 14:58, 26 August 2009 (UTC) UPDATE: It's actually CoolPikachu who deleted it. He'll confirm that.
::So, you say that it was RIGHT that Ketsuban discouraged Kuki like that? Of course, he's a hotlinker and that is wrong but it is still OFFENSIVE and hence UNACCEPTABLE. Aren't we in Bulbapedia supposed to play nice? The rule should apply to admins as well. And it certainly wasn't nice. Ketsuban did something that a normal user would get permabanned for, yet you're PRAISING her. It's completely unfair. However, congratulations in admitting that Bulbapedia admins are above the hereby law. You've got the courage to say the truth. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 20:04, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
:::Regardless of whether I like the current law or not, Ketsuban broke it. I see it as a reason to question her fitness to be an admin. There are different ways to prevent hotlinking, the one that Ket chose was simply offensive. And no, I am not defending Kuki. I'm just saying that offending ANY user (even a banned one) is wrong. This method of discourage hotlinking is simply unacceptable (even in my CoCless Bulbapedia ideal offensive pictures are strictly prohibited) and should not be practiced. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 20:16, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
::::Ket already committed enough crimes (on the forums, of course, she barely does anything on the Pedia) to get permabanned. Indeed, she speaks her mind a lot. And it's something that I usually get warned/banned for (because of CoC). She is just as "harsh" as me. The difference is that she's an admin, and hence she's more respected and her offences are often ignored. Nice or not, she abuses her powers strongly and it's an undeniable fact. If you don't see that, then you're blinded by your "trust" in her. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 06:33, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
:::::Maxim, I agree with everything you say in this instance, she also lies to her fellow admins to avoid herself getting into trouble, and there is no reasoning with her, she has no compasion, and I think she does it to satisfy her thirst for power. And all the other admins tell her they trust her 100% and stuff like that, and she then goes and breaks the rules, and no one seems to care and it creates a very much "us and them" situation which contradicts the statement about Bulbagarden being a community. Maxim I salute you. [[User:Max King|Max King]] 19:38, 27 August 2009 (UTC)

== Protected Page Policy ==

Hi there, I was just wondering about what Bulbapedia's policy is on contributing to Protected Pages. The policy seems to apply to just adding or changing content, but I wanted to expand on [[Chuck]]'s Pokemon Special section and can't think of a way to suggest it on the Talk page without writing up my proposed paragraph for that section there. Is this what one should do in this situation or is there an alternative that Bulbapedia prefers? Thanks. --[[User:TintedLens|TintedLens]] 12:13, 26 September 2009 (UTC)

==Guru Meditation: Varnish Cache Server==

I've been getting the following error message fairly often while on Bulbapedia. It's been happening for a while, but the frequency is starting to increase, making it particularly noticeable.

Error 503 Service Unavailable

Service Unavailable
Guru Meditation:

XID: 1285960668

Varnish cache server

The 'XID' number changes every time, but it always starts with '128' (which, incidentally, are the first three numbers of my IP address - relevant?). Refreshing the page usually works, but it sometimes takes a few tries, and occasionally when the page finally loads, most images have disappeared and all rounded corners ([[Template:Roundy]]) have unrounded themselves.

== Sylveon misunderstanding ==

Hello. I am very new and just joined yesterday so I can help in any way I can. I saw that the sylveon origin was incomplete and a bit too vague, so I added cats, dogs, and foxes to the list because everybody can see sylveon in a different way. Unfortunately, I was extremely shocked by the rude message by blisseyandtheaquajets that said he/ she and the staff thought I was some bad contributor or their "sock". What is a " sock" anyways? All I wanted to do was help, and I didn't know the topic was still being debated. Worst of all, blisseyandtheaquajets said the staff is discussing whether to block me, without even notifying me of the problem or even try to know me so they wouldn't mistake me for a bad person. I know info can be changed, but I think blocking a user without even notifying them and discussing the problem is a bit harsh. I am not trying to offend you or the staff in any way, and I will continue to try to contribute to maybe edit episodes or other pokemon datas, but please don't ever accuse an innocent person and block them without even discussing the problem.

== Can you please help me? ==

Hello,

I am writing to you because I am involved in a conflict with Bureaucrat ForceFire. He is targeting me with constant edit reversals and has blocked me from editing pages about Eevee for making an edit that is obviously correct.

I believe that ForceFire is intentionally biased against me, and you or another editorial board member should probably take a look before he gets out of hand. The reason I wrote to you specifically is because I read that you were the chief of staff and thought you would be most suitable to tackle this issue.

Thanks ahead of time, and if I need to contact someone else instead, please let me know. [[User:Mario60866|Mario60866]] ([[User talk:Mario60866|talk]]) 18:43, 12 March 2022 (UTC)
