User talk:Britannia's Blade
Welcome
Welcome to Bulbapedia, Britannia's Blade!
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 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.
- If you want to make a page about a character you made up, please create it at User:Britannia's Blade/(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.
- 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!--Theryguy512 20:33, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
Please read, know, and love the manual of style --Pie ~♪♫ 17:21, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
- Also, please user Link templates!!!. --Theryguy512 20:33, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
Exclamation points
You.. really don't need to add a million of them in every edit summary, you know >_> It's a lot easier to look at in recent changes without armies of !!!!! stuffed in there. Tina☆♫ 18:23, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
- You don't need to. If you have a disorder that causes you to type a load of exclamation marks, I would assume that you would be better off away from Bulbapedia. Porygon-Z 18:28, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
Link Templates
Please use the link templates when linking to attacks and other stuff. For example, {{m|Fire Blast}} instead of just [[Fire Blast]]. This way, you don't unintentionally link to a disambiguation page.
For a crash course on how link templates work, look at the shortlinks. --Shiningpikablu252 20:18, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
- Again. Don't put [[Pikachu]], put {{p|Pikachu}}, especially since there are several different Pikachu out there. --Martonimos((Argh|Blargh)) 04:11, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
Thanks!
Seriously, thank you so much for giving me an answer I've been seeking for nearly 3 weeks! SharKing
