Welcome

Welcome to Bulbapedia, Clarky13!

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:Clarky13/1/(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! -- Jïörüjï Ðērākō.>.cнаt^ 08:44, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

Link Templates

Please use link templates when linking to stuff such as Pokémon names, attacks, and the like. If it's an item it'll redirect itself to this page. Thank you and happy editing!

For a full crash course on link templates, look at the shortlinks.--Boywonder01 00:21, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

Again. When you link to moves, write it out as {{m|Tackle}}, not just [[Tackle]]. Use of link templates is official policy, as stated in the welcome message, so you'll get in trouble if you continue to disregard them. See the list of link templates for more information. --((Marton imos)) 17:30, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

Sorry Bulbapedia, I'm trying to help.--Clarky 22:25, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

Please

Slow down on editing the User: namespace. Editing your userpage too much will lead to it being locked again. Instead of making multiple small edits, why not instead use the preview button (Alt + Shift + P) to check your edits before saving the page? Thank you. --Porygon-Z 03:57, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

I've lost it...

How do you save your log in so you don't have to press "log in" every time you come to the site. I did it before but I can't seem to do it again. It's very annoying to log in every time, so can anyone help? - Clarky13 20:44, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

There's something in the login box. It's an option saying "Remember my login on this computer." All you have to do is click the checkbox, and you don't have to log in every time. It works for me. SharKing _{((Talk to the King!))} 02:48, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, I knew that all along (shift eyes) - Clarky13 04:36, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

Stubs of the week

No one is allowed to remove the stub notice for the stub of the week. It remains on there til the end. ^Maverick_Nate 20:17, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

Sorry, I didn't notice the message -- Clarky13 07:05, 3 December 2008 (UTC)

A quick question...

Can I create a template infobox for Pokémon Mystery Dungeon Items? -- Clarky13 10:41, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

Can anyone help me out? -- Clarky13 12:38, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

I was thinking something like this? -- Clarky13 02:28, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

Has it saved on my PC for like 1-2 years--☆Coolピカチュウ! 07:09, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

Swift Empoleon

Hey. Only have time to leave you a short message, but I will anyway. Although your Swift Empoleon article is better than a lot of deck articles written by n00bs (no offense), it needs a couple tweaks. Instead of going into the problems it has, I'll simply tell you to try and model your articles after Queendom, arguably the best deck article. Oh, and consider joining Project Decks. --ニョロトノ666 00:52, 1 January 2009 (UTC)

French

Please stop adding "tranlations" because the others don't so don't bother putting...--☆Coolピカチュウ! 11:02, 1 January 2009 (UTC)

Oh... ok, sorry. Do you want me to remove them? -- Clarky13 21:48, 1 January 2009 (UTC)

When Welcoming new users

Type in this: {{subst:welcome}} it is much easy than to copy and paste the whole thing down.--Force ^Fire talk 06:00, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

Sure. Sorry, It was something like that. -- Clarky13 19:49, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

Quick Question from Me

Say, when I go on my my preferences and I create a signature that looks like this:

[[User:Clarky13|<span style="color:#0000FF;">'''Clarky'''</span>]][[User talk:Clarky13|<span style="color:#000000;">'''13'''</span>]]

It should look like this:

Clarky13

But insteed, it just comes out like this:

[[User:Clarky13|<span style="color:#0000FF;">'''Clarky'''</span>]][[User talk:Clarky13|<span style="color:#000000;">'''13'''</span>]]

Can anyone help out, how I can get it to look like the first one -- Clarky13 08:12, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

Don't you already have that as your signature? Or are you typing that out manually every time you leave a comment?

Anyway, make sure that the "raw signatures" box is checked, otherwise it will break your coding. That's the only explanation I can think of, it all looks right to me otherwise. -- Jïörüjï Ðērākō.>.cнаt^ 09:13, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

Oh, thanks heaps. I forget to check the raw signature. --Clarky13 09:48, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

Bug Catcher

What the eff?! A lot of the work you did on that page wasn't necessary and the grammar/spelling wasn't any better. Please try to improve your grammar, and as always, don't do any run-down sentences (ex., This is. A run down sentence.) PH1RESTRIKE 22:43, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

Re: my talk

The rules are a way of making things make more sense. Obviously there are still going to be detailed policies and such, but I think places run a lot more smoothly if you can boil things down to their essence. The new rules are an attempt at trying to get the essence of the Bulbapedia rules, not really in a manual of style sense (although we're working on a new one), but more in a "guidelines to be here" sense, a sort of "code of conduct PLUS" that outlines getting along and how to stay out of trouble.

The priorities are all mine, but as part of Project: Overgrow, we want to revamp every area of the site. I'm trying to basically give my two cents for the direction Bulbapedia should take as everything transitions, although it's by no means what the site will (or even should!) do, it's only my opinion. If you're still curious, feel free to write me back. -- evkl _{(need to talk?)} 07:06, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

Well, let me know if there's anything you think we should take on as part of Overgrow, or something in particular you want to help out with. -- evkl _{(need to talk?)} 07:18, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

Number Redirects

Make sure you get the episode right, 399's episode is AG125, but 400's episode was AG123 instead of AG126, Go back and redo the episodes, And add the Manga.--FF(edits-talk) 06:43, 19 January 2009 (UTC)
