== XY078 ==

Since it was moved, I've been baffled why [[XY078]] is classified as a main series episode, when to me, it seems like a clear special episode. I saw you having taken part in the moving conversation on the episode's talk page. Why was it moved, and should it be reclassified as a special again? --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 10:53, 16 January 2020 (UTC)
:It's not considered a side story episode since it focuses on Ash and co. and aired in the series' main timeslot. All of the XY episodes including the Mega Evolution Specials and the two end-of-series specials are considered part of the main anime series, however. --[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 15:57, 16 January 2020 (UTC)

With "Leaf (game)" and "Green (game)" being separated into two separate articles, I've changed some links to accommodate the split, but many could still be out there that I'm not noticing. As such, could you make BulbaBot change every "{{ga|Green|Leaf" into "{{ga|Leaf"? --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 17:26, 20 January 2020 (UTC)

== Works in progress ==

Dear Abcboy,

I'm currently working on making some drastic changes to the [[Pichu Brothers]] page. While all characters already featured require some added details, there are several Pokémon that are recurring wild Pokémon in the series of Pichu Brother shorts and episodes, but aren't necessarily part of the Pichu Posse like Houndour, Snorlax, Feraligatr, Azurill, Azumarill, Smeargle and Murkrow. So I was thinking of wither creating a new page titled " Pokémon" to feature three main subsections: Pichu Brothers, Pichu Posse, and Other Big Town Pokémon. Or should these non-Pichu Posse members simply be added as sections on the [[Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime]] page?

Secondly, I came across a location called "Bloom Canyon", which appeared in the Chronicles episode [[HS17]]. I was wondering if you would have any Japanese details for this location and be able to confirm which region it is a part of?[[User:PardescanSlowbro|PardescanSlowbro]] ([[User talk:PardescanSlowbro|talk]]) 10:14, 21 January 2020 (UTC)
:For the other Pokémon from the Pichu Brothers shorts, it might be worth expanding the Big Town page with that information instead? If you draft up what a separate article might look like I can take a look at it.
:The line around 14-15 minutes in just says "in the mountains" in Japanese. --[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 20:43, 24 January 2020 (UTC)
::Thanks for the replies on those. I'll have those two pages done sometime soon. Thanks [[User:PardescanSlowbro|PardescanSlowbro]] ([[User talk:PardescanSlowbro|talk]]) 02:55, 25 January 2020 (UTC)

== Some questions ==

Yes, I have some questions for you:
# Are the following pages fine for mainspacing:
#* [[User:TheICTLiker4/TOC right]]
#* [[User:TheICTLiker4/Template:NewMove]]
# What programming language is {{u|BulbaBot}} written in?
# Will you publish a guide on how to write a bot that will work with MediaWiki?
# I have also a bot request. I want BulbaBot to replace all <code><nowiki>{{YouTubeVid|<video code>|ChickasaurusGL|</nowiki></code> with <code><nowiki>{{YouTubeVid|<video code>|name=ChickasaurusGL|Evie|</nowiki></code>. I'm asking you for this because I think it's too many of these to do this by hand. Also, Chickasaurus renamed herself on YouTube.
Please answer quickly. --<span lang="ja">[[User:TheICTLiker4|<span style="color:#333">'''TheI'''</span>]][[Special:Contributions/TheICTLiker4|<span style="color:#f30">'''CTLi'''</span>]][[User talk:TheICTLiker4|<span style="color:#bbb">'''ker4'''</span>]]</span> 18:40, 23 January 2020 (UTC)

== M22 Brazilian title ==

Hi. On the Brazilian [https://press.pokemon.com/pt-BR/POKEMON-AND-NETFLIX-TEAM-UP-FOR-GLOBAL-RELEASE-OF-POKEMON-MEWTWO-STRIK press release], [[M22]]'s title is written three times as '''Pokémon, o filme: Mewtwo contra-ataca - Evolução''' and once as '''Pokémon, o filme: Mewtwo contra-ataca — Evolução''' (difference: - and —), while on [https://www.netflix.com/br/title/81223075 Netflix], its title is '''Pokémon: Mewtwo Contra-ataca — Evolução'''. The logo on the press release is very similar to the English one. Should we change the title on the movie's article? Or maybe also include the Netflix one? --[[User:RafaelGN|RafaelGN]] ([[User talk:RafaelGN|talk]]) 01:22, 25 January 2020 (UTC)
:The [https://media.netflix.com/pt_br/press-releases/pokemon-and-netflix-team-up-for-global-release-of-pokemon-mewtwo-strikes-back-evolution Netflix press release] has it as "Pokémon: Mewtwo Contra-ataca – Evolução" with another different kind of dash, so I'd lean towards Pokémon.com's for the moment since it appears to be the "complete" title. --[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 01:33, 25 January 2020 (UTC)

== Go's Scorbunny ==

Scorbunny is Go's partner,and he can't go without scorbunny in any episodes(unless team rocket steals it or any other circumstances).Then why can't we add it under the section Pokémon in the New series episodes without proof.

== LGPE model list ==

Hello. On the [[Gym guide]] article you added a statement about the internal data of LGPE using the name "Danpei" for the Gym Guide's model. Do you have the model filename list for these games? I'm not disbelieving, just curious to see the entire list. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] ([[User talk:Maxim|talk]]) 08:11, 2 February 2020 (UTC)
:It's actually used in the string ID tables, which in LGPE and SwSh give each string that you see in the text dump a particular ID. One of them is "msg_danpei_01_p02_t007_r0201" in t007r0601.tbl. I've uploaded a zip folder of those tbl files [https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/168176031956467712/673454917653889034/tbl.zip here]. --[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 09:19, 2 February 2020 (UTC)

== Meowth - is he a recurring wild Pokémon in the anime? ==

Hello. I'd recently added {{MTR}} to the [[Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime]] page as he is exactly that. He meets the criteria 1) Has been confirmed to be uncaptured 2) Has been featured in more than one episode. My addition took into account his main character status, as it stated that he has been after [[Ash's Pikachu]] ever since his debut, plus it had a direct link to his separate page.

However ForceFire removed the entry, arguing that Meowth can only be considered a main character and not a recurring character. I've never said he was a recurring "Character" only a recurring "Pokémon". I don't see why Meowth can't be considered both a recurring wild Pokémon and a main character, it doesn't take anything away from Meowth's main character status.[[User:PardescanSlowbro|PardescanSlowbro]] ([[User talk:PardescanSlowbro|talk]]) 08:45, 2 February 2020 (UTC)
:I would say that a recurring Pokémon is necessarily a recurring character. I'm not really a fan of further bloating the list either. --[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 09:19, 2 February 2020 (UTC)
::How about Mewtwo of the Original series and Dia's Zeraora?
::Also could I get a second opinion regarding some additions to the list of Ash's traveling companions. I'd posted on ForceFire's page, writing that Zoey, Ritchie and Dia are questionable additions as they technically didn't travel to another location with the group, rather they just appeared in a few concurrent episodes in the same location.
::And I'd made some changes to BW058 which were undone, however I consider the additions to the major events section to be important to the plot and series overall as Chili left the [[Striaton Gym]], his Pansear learned a new move after being tutured by Cilan, and afterwards Chili decided to return to the Striaton Gym. Thoughts?[[User:PardescanSlowbro|PardescanSlowbro]] ([[User talk:PardescanSlowbro|talk]]) 10:53, 2 February 2020 (UTC)
:::Could I please get an answer to the above queries, thanks? [[User:PardescanSlowbro|PardescanSlowbro]] ([[User talk:PardescanSlowbro|talk]]) 12:08, 11 February 2020 (UTC)
::::I don't particularly like bloating it further, and it's on my to-do list to either split or prune that list. Two consecutive episodes isn't really "recurring", and movie Pokémon aren't generally listed or Diancie/Hoopa would probably be there too.

== Move disputes ==

The Sun & Moon series is over, but I've still got a couple of move-related things to talk about it:
* Can we confirm that Mallow's Tsareena used Sweet Scent in her second evolution episode? The move's animation and effect are identical to how they were depicted in its earlier stages.
* In SM117, Shaymin uses Aromatherapy for the first time, that much has been undisputably confirmed. But the "major events" section for the episode doesn't list it. Instead, it's listed as a major event in SM134, where it's first called out loud. Can that major event be moved to SM117's major events, since the revelation really happened there?
* In SM078, Blacephalon clearly used Mind Blown multiple times by exploding its own head, which is what the move is depicted as in the games. However, there has been dispute whether this is it using a move or it just using a natural ability of its. I'm personally leaning towards it being a move, since I'd personally list this as a move with a unique animation. What's your opinion?<br>
Can you help with these? --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 20:38, 19 February 2020 (UTC)
:I also just recalled two more disputed moves:
:* The Alomomola seen in SM033 used a move that looks highly similar to Hydro Pump. In SM081, we see a Hydro Pump used with very similar, if not identical animation. Can this be counted as verification?
:* In SM128, Pikala's Pikachu Bolt uses [https://postimg.cc/Mf0dxRzN a move] that is, in my opinion, an obvious Electro Ball. If compared with [[:File:Ash Pikachu Electro Ball.png|Ash's Pikachu's Electro Ball]] from earlier in Sun & Moon, the similarities are uncanny, and comparing it with [[:File:Sophocles Vikavolt Zap Cannon.png|Zap Cannon from SM127]] will show that the move animations have some key differences.

== Standardizing anime-exclusive event pages  ==

Hello. I've already messaged Blazingfist, but at their advice I am seeking higher assistance with my query. I was hoping to standardize the layout of all anime exclusive competition pages to simply include a neat table of notable competitors and their Pokémon as seen on the [[Eindoak Harvest Festival]] page. I find the layout on other competition pages like the [[Pokémon Balloon Race]] appears lengthy and the list of unnamed competitors really adds little to the article. What does the editorial board think is best? [[User:PardescanSlowbro|PardescanSlowbro]] ([[User talk:PardescanSlowbro|talk]]) 14:35, 13 May 2020 (UTC)

== Two requests ==

I wanted to ask whether you could approve our tranfer-only move proposal in general, and in how far you could personally get involved.

I think I've made an exhaustive list of requirements at [[User talk:Nescientist#Transfer-only moves|my talk page]], and right now we're in the lucky situation that there's a decent amount of capable (non-staff) users willing to help and share their thoughts. We're about halfway done with #1, I got #3 covered, and I was hoping you could help with #2, #4 and #5 (and #6 in the first place)?

Yes, that's a lot, but there's obviously no strict deadline, I could be taking care of most the actual work that's still missing, I'm willing to coordinate this closely with you, and I'm also okay with being responsible for this project as a whole. (This may apply to others too.) However, this cannot be done without staff, and quite frankly, I think you're the best shot out of that handful of people who could potentially help. (If there's other staff willing to help, that'd be nice, too.)

Also, I would like you to relax the {{bp|userspace policy}}. There are many situations when I'd like to make more than three userspace edits in a day, and I think in such cases Bulbapedia should be interested not to disallow that. (I know that it wouldn't usually be enforced then, but it's still an unneccessarily strict rule anyway.) I propose adding something like "for personal use" or "not intended to help improve the encyclopedic content" ("unless intended for mainspace" is too strict imo).

::Could you answer (or at least provide an update)? [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 17:51, 2 June 2020 (UTC)
:::For #6, the [[#Editorial Board request: Listing transfer-exclusive moves in Pokémon mainspaces|proposed template]] above regarding transfer-only moves is still being discussed, though there's been general approval for the idea. For #4, the edits can definitely be done with BulbaBot once the code is generated. Have been busy with other commitments/projects to actively help, though I'll try to get it brought up again soon.
:::As for the userspace policy, for most template and pages intended for the mainspace covers most of the use cases, including drafts/data entry. There isn't a blanket exception, since we do reserve the right to deem something that claims to be as not actually meant for the mainspace. I agree that the actual enforcement of many policies does deviate from the written text, which is an ongoing issue that I hope to have addressed eventually. --[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 23:06, 2 June 2020 (UTC)
::::Hadn't seen that section, actually. Anyway, just to be sure, is "there's been general approval for the idea" an OK for the idea (and it's just about the details), or is it a generally positive reception but not actually an OK? That makes a huge difference (to me).
::::You "try to get it brought up" with.. yourself? Or ask for other staff members who might be less busy? How long would that take?
::::If I were to edit, say, my /Movedata subpage; improve/correct the transfer-only data; fix links/images after moves; improve/correct any "intended for mainspace" article; or even just revert a vandal edit, I'd technically be violating the userspace policy if it's my first edit of the day, or my 4+th userspace edit of the day. It's just absurd; I really should not (technically) be doomed to wait for UTC midnight to do any of these.

== Electro Ball dispute ==

In [[SM129]], a Pikachu uses a move that some higher-ups have claimed unconfirmed, saying that Electro Ball and Zap Cannon look too similar, although I and many others consider it to definitely be Electro Ball. I've gathered some evidence that hopefully proves the move's identity as Electro Ball, and not Zap Cannon.

* [[:File:Sophocles Vikavolt Zap Cannon.png|Sophocles's Vikavolt using Zap Cannon in Sun & Moon]]
* [https://postimg.cc/gxRgQNx6 The move from SM129]<br>

==Sync Pairs edit==
Hi, I suggested some time ago an edit for the Sync Pairs lists of Pokémon Masters, since a lot of Sync Pairs was doubled (for exemple multiple forms occupy 2 slots and the Sync Pairs that evolves occupy 2 or 3 slots and all the main characters sync pairs are doubled, so the Kanto's starters occupy a total of 18 slots even if they are just 3 Sync pairs (without considering others Sync Pairs of the main character). I tryed to use the Sync Pairs character order for the list instead of the releasing order, since I think would look better in that way.<br>
When I proposed this nobody answered me, and I tried to edit it for myself making a lot of little edits since a unique large edit would be blocked and considered vandalism. But the edits was cancelled because need approval, but still nobody saw my suggestion and said nothing about that (I can't even make a sandbox because I cannot even make my user page).<br>

I don't know if this is the right person to talk to, but I have noticed that our menu sprites are not all the same shape. I know that this is due to Gen 8 expanding them to 68x56. Bulbapedia is using the old sprites for the first 809 Pokemon and is using the 68x56 sprites for Gen 8 Pokemon. I found the site https://msikma.github.io/pokesprite/overview/dex-gen8.html which has all the updated Gen 8 menu sprites in the correct size. Can we update the current menu sprites to all be the same size? The site also has shiny menu sprites but those are fan-made so just ignore them. Thanks {{unsigned|Hero231}}

== Rowlet/my talk page ==

I'm sorry to bother you, but we have a situation that is oh so familiar. (It's even Rowlet again, maybe you should consider just banning Rowlet trivia sections..) Could you have a look at the case, please?

I was under the impression that the [[Bulbapedia:Blocking policy#Edit/revert wars|edit warring policy]] generally applies to staff as well? I mean, if ForceFire is going this route when I'm building bridges, could you give them an edit warring warning or something? I may be biased, but seriously, I'm not under the impression that it's me who is unwilling to talk. I'm particularly concerned about ForceFire's final revert and the following page protection, which certainly smells like pulling rank in my opinion.

As for the content level, maybe there's a chance I'm getting my point across to ForceFire (and even a minuscule chance it's vice-versa), but there's certainly a chance I won't. So, as I said, I don't really care if it ultimately stays, but I can't help but point out when the reasoning for removing it just doesn't make sense. In any way, going forward I request that it's not ForceFire alone who makes that decision based on that logic.

== Unknown Origins Pokémon Template Approval ==

Hey, as I discussed [[Talk:List_of_Pok%C3%A9mon_by_availability#Moving_Meltan_and_Melmetal_to_their_own_little_section|here]] I thought it could be a good idea to move Meltan & Melmetal to their own little section on [[List_of_Pokémon_by_availability|this page]] because of their unique status, or alternatively move the Let's Go games as a whole to their own section. I felt like the former suggestion would be the easiest and likely least controversial for now, so I created [[User:Gameskiller01/Avail-UO|this template]], which can be seen in use [[Bulbapedia:Sandbox#Unknown_Origins_Pok.C3.A9mon|here in the Sandbox]], and I was wondering if you could check over and, if everything's all good, approve the template for use in the main page.

== Cram-o-matic information on item pages ==

I'd like to discuss the way Bulbapedia will represent the type and value of the item when inserted into the [[Cram-o-matic]] (on item pages).

As I have seen on the [[Air Balloon]] page, [[Special:Diff/3198002|this edit]] added the Cram-o-matic table that lists the type and value. However, I'd like this to be represented in the item infobox. I made [[User:Bfdifan2006/ItemInfobox/Cram-o-matic|this template]] for such a purpose, which even has an example use, with [[Fire Memory]]. When I mean ''[...] we need to find a way to make it continuous with [[Template:ItemInfobox/Fling]]'', then I mean [[Template:ItemInfobox/Fling|the Fling template]] has to be adjusted so the lower corner rounding can be disabled if needed, by the use of a parameter and the <code>{&zwj;{#if:''test string''|''value if not empty''|''value if empty''}}</code> parser function.

Is my idea good? I will also discuss it with some other staff members. --'''''[[User:Bfdifan2006|<font color="turquoise">Bfdifan2006</font>]]'''''<sub>[[User talk:Bfdifan2006|<font color="lime">something to say?</font>]]</sub> 13:46, 18 December 2020 (UTC)

== Form acronym ==

If I may, I'd like to make a suggestion. It bothers me that Burmy and Wormadam forms sprites use first letter of their types instead of form name like other Pokemon. What I mean is that these sprites, should be renamed:

  [[File:413GMS.png]] File:413'''G'''MS.png ''to'' File:413'''S'''MS.png (acronym from Sandy Cloak instead of Ground)<br>
  [[File:413SMS.png]] File:413'''S'''MS.png ''to'' File:413'''T'''MS.png (acronym from Trash Cloak instead Steel)<br>

and if we're at it, I checked other Pokemon with forms and similar cleanup could be done for Rotom, Castform, Lycanroc.--'''[[User:Team Rocket Grunt|<span style="color:#CC0000">Rocket</span>]] [[User talk:Team Rocket Grunt|<span style="color:#666666">Grunt</span>]]''' 12:57, 26 April 2021 (UTC)

Wouldn't a better translation be the one used over on Bulbagarden Forums: "The One Known as God, Arceus"? --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 08:20, 21 January 2022 (UTC)
:As long as you have permission or similar from the translator to use that translation on Bulbapedia, then that title should be fine. --[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 15:16, 21 January 2022 (UTC)
::Thank you. I've asked {{u|神奇超龍}}'s opinion regarding the translation. Waiting for their response. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 15:52, 21 January 2022 (UTC)
:::I see you edited the episode list page. Since they are heavily implied to be canon, would it not be accurate to have them be placed amongst the main series episodes on the list, similar to how the XY specials were? --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 19:46, 21 January 2022 (UTC)
::::Even if they are canon (which is why they're still on the episode list), they don't necessarily fit between the JN episodes they were released between. The XY specials are always [https://www.pokemon.co.jp/tv_movie/anime/xy.html listed] [https://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/B01ISA6ZPW/ between] other XY episodes in Japanese official sources, while these aren't/haven't been yet, so we shouldn't list them as taking place there. At the moment, I would say they're somewhere between the [[Mega Evolution Specials]] (where they're clearly advertised as special episodes as part of their series) and the WPBS [[side story episodes]] (where they don't necessarily fit/take place where they aired, because they didn't air in between episodes at the normal time on TV Tokyo) right now. --[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 20:47, 21 January 2022 (UTC)
:::::Understood. What if Goh catches the Hoothoot seen in today's main series episode in one of the upcoming Legends specials? --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 21:50, 21 January 2022 (UTC)

{{indent}} Re:the name, I think "The One Called God, Arceus", or "Arceus, the One Called God" are better. I don't know why people want to use "Known" (or somehow attribute it to a "specific" Arceus). As a piece of English, I think the latter is better ("Arceus, ..."). [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 00:04, 22 January 2022 (UTC)

::That translation fits for me too. Can the article be moved under that title? --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 19:31, 22 January 2022 (UTC)
:::All right, everything should be moved and relinked. --[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 19:47, 22 January 2022 (UTC)

== Text is visible when reading a page, but not when editing it ==

Hello - regarding the "''[[Pokémon Diamond & Pokémon Pearl: Super Music Collection]]''" article for [[Bulbapedia:Project Music]], I was trying to spruce up that article a bit, mainly given the recent release of the "Pokémon DP Sound Library" for English-language markets.  I was about to add some relevant artwork for the gallery, but upon editing the page, I realized that a large part of the page's second half was missing; I narrowed it down to roughly where the "headphones" emoji appears when one reads the page (which is directly from the English-language YouTube video).  Puzzled, I refreshed my page with a cleared-cache and tried re-adding the rest of the page again (since I wasn't sure if I had accidentally removed a huge chunk of the page when editing myself), but that edit didn't seem to go through.  As a result, right now, I can read the whole page and it looks like what I previewed when I was editing, but now when I go to edit, all the text beyond the "headphones" emoji is missing in the wiki editor.  This quirk happens in both a Chromium-based Internet browser as well as Mozilla Firefox.  I remember some text from the fellow SSBWiki saying something like certain mobile browsers can cut off part of the page in editor-mode when a user is editing (due to size issues for larger articles), but I was editing from a desktop computer, and the page's content didn't seem like that much in terms of size. In any case, I was trying to see if anyone could reproduce the issue on their own end/equipment.  I was going to test removing the "headphones" emoji myself to see if that affected anything (and if non-emoji text could be used instead; I wanted to preserve the video's original title but didn't think that emojis would have that much of an impact text-wise when editing), but right now, this issue is making the necessary text inaccessible for editing right now..  Thank you in advance. [[User:Fenyx4|Fenyx4]] ([[User talk:Fenyx4|talk]]) 21:11, 3 February 2022 (UTC)

:As an update, it looks like I was able to "restore" the missing text for the ''Pokémon Diamond/Pearl'' soundtrack article for now, but the "headphones" emoji (like on [https://emojipedia.org/headphone/ this page]; and as currently seen in [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XDg0T0hsJkc this video's title]) might be causing a bizarre issue in one of the article's 4th-level headers..? I attempted the "re-addition" that I mentioned earlier again; and when I included the "headphones" emoji and previewed my edit before saving, the page ''appears'' to maintain all of the text (including the [https://emojipedia.org/plus/ "+" emoji] and the "headphones" emoji) in the page preview. Then, when I went to actually save the edit, the page displayed as if my edit was saved, but upon checking the page history, my edit isn't saved, and all of the text including and after the "headphones" emoji essentially seems erased. I tried another edit without the emojis' presence in the 4th-level header, and the article saved properly this time, including my edit in the edit history. So it looks like there might be an editing/saving issue when one or both emoji(s) are present in an article's 4th-level header?  The emojis aren't that necessary to convey the needed information from the YouTube video's title, but I was trying to preserve the YouTube video's title as intact as possible; I'm not sure if there's a workaround for this issue, or if emojis should just be avoided in 4th-level headers or something...?  Thanks again in advance. [[User:Fenyx4|Fenyx4]] ([[User talk:Fenyx4|talk]]) 06:22, 4 February 2022 (UTC)

::It's a known issue with the software; some emoji (namely characters in supplementary Unicode planes) need to be HTML-escaped. --[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 01:21, 14 March 2022 (UTC)

==A Proposal==
For Pokémon Adventures XY, it was unknowingly given that name when it's true name is Pokémon X•Y (as seen here [https://www.viz.com/read/manga/pokemon-x-y/all]), with the circle representing the Mega Stone. I was thinking of moving the mini-volume pages to their proper names, and since you are an administrator it would be easier to conduct this operation and not making it as time-consuming in getting things done. What do you think? -[[User:Tyler53841|Tyler53841]] ([[User talk:Tyler53841|talk]]) 00:00, 15 February 2022 (UTC)
:Hmm, I'm a bit reluctant to add special characters like • to the page titles, but I could get behind that. Do you think the ORAS volumes should be moved to include the ampersand as well? --[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 01:21, 14 March 2022 (UTC)

== Three things ==

# The @ sign in your e-mail address (the one shown on your user page and talk page) should be replaced with something like [at], e.g. instead of account@example.com, have account[at]example.com. Nearly all spam is automated, and this is one of the solutions to prevent such spam because it does not match the regular expressions used for searching e-mail addresses.
# I know about the issue with JS-updated [[Special:RecentChanges|recent changes page]], but I think it's because the JS interpreter of MediaWiki pages ignores the CSS defined in system messages such as [[MediaWiki:Common.css|common.css]] due to a bug, which Ciencia Al Poder has apparently fixed for WikiDex. I can show proof on Discord. I am Keyacom[hash]1936 there, and I am also on the Bulbagarden Discord server.
# Also, should I disable showing preview without having to refresh the page? This is also in the [[Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-editing|preferences]]. I sometimes remove {{cat|Pages using duplicate arguments in template calls|duplicate arguments in template calls}} from pages, and sometimes, these pages can get long, so searching for duplicate arguments isn't as efficient. If I have the aforementioned preference enabled, the notice about where are the duplicate arguments does not appear. WikiDex does not appear to have that issue, I can show the proof on Discord as well.

I wanted to ask you in this case, as you are one of the leaders of Project GlitchDex.

== Dub titles ==

We've had dub titles from far in the future revealed before. There have even been rare cases of a dub title being known before the episode airs. And to me, a TV guide sounds like a reliable source. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 13:05, 9 June 2022 (UTC)
:While that is true, I think it's better to not take a new user citing unnamed "Australian TV guides" at their word without corroborating evidence. A TV guide can be a reliable source, but without knowing the specific one, it could be handwritten piece of paper for all we know. --[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 13:21, 9 June 2022 (UTC)
