User talk:Lewtwo

Welcome to Bulbapedia, Lewtwo!

Thank you for joining our community! By creating an account you are now able to edit pages, join discussions, and expand the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia. This is a brief introduction to Bulbapedia's rules and resources to help you get started: All users are expected to follow the code of conduct and to be kind to one another. If you have a question, check out our FAQ; the manual of style provides detailed editing guidance, and the wikicode page provides details about how to use wikicode. You can always ask for help by contacting a staff member. Please preview your edits before saving them; this helps you double-check your changes and reduces the need for repeated minor edits. Use talk pages to discuss changes and resolve editing disputes. Creating a userpage is allowed after you've added to the encyclopedia; for more details, see the userspace policy. Sign all talk page posts with four tildes (~~~~) so people know who is commenting. This will turn into your name and the time you wrote the comment. For more handy links and information, check out the welcome portal.

Thank you, and have a good time editing here!   Bfdifan2006 (T/C) 07:49, 29 April 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 08:50, 29 April 2022 (UTC)

A couple of things

Please make sure to use link templates whenever necessary, and there's also no need to italicize Pokémon names as that is not something we do here. Thank you.--ForceFire 08:59, 9 May 2022 (UTC)

Your signature

Hey, I've noticed on Talk:Rellor (Pokémon)#Evolution and checking facts, that you appear to have customized your signature. Could you make sure it (also) reflects your username, though (as per the final guideline of our signature policy)? That ensures everyone can properly attribute your comments.

Pokédex images

When adding the Paldean Pokédex images to Pokémon articles, please be aware of the following details:

1. Even if a Pokémon's name ends in an "s", an "s" should still be added after the apostrophe.
2. "Image" should be written with a small "i", as it's not a name or at the start of a sentence.
3. Bonus: This is optional, but I think the image frame would look better with rounded corners.

Thank you. --FinnishPokéFan92 (talk) 15:20, 28 November 2022 (UTC)

If you think it looks better, feel free to make those changes to the established template going forward. Lewtwo (talk) 15:21, 28 November 2022 (UTC)

I will eventually, but given how many pages there are, help would be appreciated if possible. --FinnishPokéFan92 (talk) 16:07, 28 November 2022 (UTC)

Before doing anything, I think we should first create a template for this table. I'll try to make something until tomorrow.--Rocket Grunt 16:16, 28 November 2022 (UTC)

Ok, this is pretty much done. How do you like it?

That looks pretty good. --FinnishPokéFan92 (talk) 20:40, 28 November 2022 (UTC)

Rika image

For the Rika image, I am not using AI, I have no idea how to use AI anyways, I got it off the fandom (https://pokemon.fandom.com/wiki/Rika). --CuteSylveon42 (talk) 17:54, 17 May 2023 (UTC)

This is still AI upscaled artwork, the linework has been completely destroyed, especially on her pants. Please check carefully when uploading.Lewtwo (talk) 17:56, 17 May 2023 (UTC)

Template placement

For future reference: the stub template is usually placed at the bottom of the page instead of the top. --FinnishPokéFan92 (talk) 16:25, 30 August 2023 (UTC)

Helpful hints

1. Use link templates to avoid redirect links, such as {{game}} or {{game2}} for game links before Generation VI.
2. In case you're not sure if a link is a redirect link or not, use the preview button to check if it is.
3. {{color2}} is a good template to use in case you want links of another color.
4. The plural form of a link can be written as (using an example link) [[Double Battle]]s as opposed to [[Double Battle|Double Battles]].
5. Don't use "&" in place of "and" unless you're copying a text or name where it is used.

Wayback Machine

Are you sure you're entering things into the Wayback Machine? The link you put on Professor Willow says it has no saves of it (I've since entered the link to save but there's a queue of a few hours). glik^glak 03:05, 21 November 2023 (UTC)

Creating new pages

Hi! I just wanted to let you know a few important things when creating new pages:

• Please make sure to add relevant categories to any new pages you create, such as Category:Game staff for Takato Utsunomiya or Category:Japanese Pokémon Center collections for WAKKA de IKKA. You can do this by adding a link to the category near the bottom of the page, like you did with [[Category:TCG illustrators]] on zounouse's page. Almost all pages should have a category, as it prevents them from showing up on Special:UncategorizedPages and also lets users navigate between related pages via the category listings.
• To keep the references from showing up below things like navigation templates or the project notice, you can use <references/> or {{reflist}} to display the references list exactly where you want it.
• When making new pages based off an existing page, make sure to remove any irrelevant interwiki links. For example, on zounose's page, the code [[it:Tika Matsuno]] added an "In other languages" link to the sidebar to Tika Matsuno on our Italian affiliate, which wouldn't be appropriate on zounose's page. You can just remove this code on new pages, and BulbaBot will add the relevant links if and when the other wiki makes a page on the subject. BulbaBot can't tell if an interwiki link was just copy-and-pasted and isn't supposed to be there, so please remove incorrect ones to keep it from getting confused.

Thank you! --Abcboy (talk) 23:04, 21 November 2023 (UTC)
