Pokemon Page links

When posting links to pages for individual Pokémon, please use {{p| instead of [[--BigDocFan, Junior Admin Bulbapedia (talk) 21:17, 16 October 2022 (UTC)

Sorry about that, I thought I did put the {{p| when I did those edits --TBR2001 (talk) 00:26, 17 October 2022 (UTC)TBR2001) 00:22, 17 October 2022 (UTC))

Redirect links

Please be aware that "Sync Move" is a redirect link. The correct name of the article is "Sync move", with both words written in lowercase if not at the start of a sentence. Thank you. --FinnishPokéFan92 (talk) 08:32, 26 October 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for correcting me, I already fix my mistake. --TBR2001 (talk) 03:30, 27 October 2022 (UTC)

The Preview Button

Instead of editing a page several times in a row, try using the preview button to make sure your edit looks the way you want it to. It's right next to the Save Page button. Please try it out, so as not to clog up the Recent Changes. Also, if you want to edit multiple sections of the page, make sure that you click "edit this page" at the top of the page rather than editing it by section. Thanks! --Landfish7 22:35, 10 November 2022 (UTC)

Sorry about that. I always use the Preview Button, but sometimes I make dumb mistakes that I don't notice until I save the change, and I know I can fix it immediately so I just go back and edit it. I always feel guilty about it because I know I'm clogging up the Recent Changes. Thanks for telling me about the "edit this page", I knew there was some way I could edit the page instead of doing it one section at a time, but I guess I wasn't looking at the right place. Also sorry for some repetitive edits I'm currently doing. I'm just cross-referencing, and the way I'm doing it is going by one page at a time instead of one character at a time because it's easier for me to keep track.--TBR2001 (talk) 23:12, 10 November 2022 (UTC)
No worries. I've been there. As long as it's not excessive and like you're not listening or trying, there's no need to worry. Have a good day! Landfish7 06:17, 11 November 2022 (UTC)

Masters origins

Hi, it's come to my attention that your additions to the origins of Masters characters are getting excessive and overly detailed. There's no need to mention irrelevant information like a Pokemon legendary/mythical status or going overboard with trying to justify an origin. Simple is best.--ForceFire 12:43, 30 December 2022 (UTC)

Adding new Trivia

You've been adding lots of new trivia on Masters pages recently, usually worded as "This character is the first to have this feature". Note that just being first is not notable, so statements like "First Sygna Suit", "First Sygna Suit with Max Move", "First Sygna Suit with a Legendary", and so on are not generally notable. Someone has to be first in everything, but it doesn't have to be noted in Trivia section, like Pokémon don't have "First Electric-type Legendary" noted anywhere. If you could remove all non-unique cases you added and reword unique ones to "The only ...", it would be appreciated.

Now, this one is subjective, but even if a character has unique qualities, it doesn't always belong in the trivia. For example, "Morty & Ho-Oh are the only Sygna Suit sync pair with the Gym Leader theme skill, despite Morty not being the first Gym Leader who received a Sygna Suit" has two random factors thrown in together. Sure, it's true, but it's not anything important, not even trivia-level important. Like "Zekrom is the only Dragon/Electric Legendary" is true but not important enough to be noted anywhere - it's just a random quality of a Legendary Pokémon that happens to be unique. I'm sure lots of new trivia can be created by combing through Theme Skills, typings, categories, but once again, before adding new Trivia, ask yourself - do people want to know this? Is it interesting?

Also, per Manual of style: "Only link to an article once within a given portion of text; if you say "Ash" more than once in a paragraph, only link it the first time". You seemed to link articles more than once in a short amount of text, so take note in the future. Itan (talk) 19:59, 30 December 2022 (UTC)
