:Hello, Zott, and welcome to Bulbapedia! Starting with the basics, it is a very good idea to read through all of the links in the welcome message located on your {{ut|Zottffss}}. Additionally, all of the links on {{bp|Welcome|this page}} are very helpful to understanding the general way we do things here on Bulbapedia. Familiarizing yourself with our policies and procedures is an excellent start to becoming a great contributor. After doing that, you should be all ready to edit! You can look through articles pertaining to topics of your interest and edit them if you find areas where they can be improved. If you ''really'' want to help us out, take a look at our {{cat|pages needing attention}} and improve those articles however you can. In particular, we have a lot of {{cat|articles needing more information}}. All help is much appreciated, so do whatever you can! | |||
:A signature is what you use to sign your talk page comments so that anyone reading the talk page will know who is making a certain comment. You seem to have done this already, but anyways, we sign our talk page comments with four tildes <code><nowiki>~~~~</nowiki></code> at the end of each message. This produces our own personal signature with a time stamp immediately following it (the time is in {{wp|Coordinated Universal Time|UTC}}). By default, everyone's signature is just a link to their user page and user talk page. However, you can customize your signature in [[Special:Preferences|your preferences]], as long as it follows our {{bp|signature policy}}. | |||
:If you have any further questions, please don't be afraid to ask me or any other active member of {{bp|staff}}.

== Speculation crackdown == | |||
Hi there, I see you're the most recent staff member to edit the [[S19]] page, so I'm coming to you. Please let me know if you're not the right person to approach, so I can go to someone else with this. | |||
The user {{u|Pikachuluckynumber25}} has been repeatedly editing the page with [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=S19&diff=2514006&oldid=2512201 speculation] about the end of S19 and the start of the Sun & Moon series, despite [[User talk:Pikachuluckynumber25#M19 and S19|being repeatedly told on their talk page]] that this is against our policy. Would it be possible for you or another staff member to intervene in this situation, please?

== What? == | |||
Why did you change my last edit of XY137's page, when every other freaking page lists Clemont's Pokemon first? Clemont joined episodes before Serena did, so why should she be listed before him? [[User:Playerking95|Playerking95]] ([[User talk:Playerking95|talk]]) 05:14, 16 October 2016 (UTC) | |||
:If every other page is listing Clemont's Pokémon as first, then those pages are going to have to be changed (do note that Clemont's Dedenne is the only Pokémon of his that is supposed to precede Serena's Pokémon). The order of Pokémon is supposed to follow the order set by the {{bp|Manual of style/Anime#Lists of Pokémon in episode articles|manual of style}}. If you have a problem with the manual of style itself, you can take it up with {{u|Pokemaster97}}. --[[User:Carmenstar97|<span style="color:#95EB5C">Carmen<small>★</small></span>]] <small>''[[User talk:Carmenstar97|<span style="color:#FEBEE8">(Talk |</span>]] [[Special:Contributions/Carmenstar97|<span style="color:#A6DAFC">contribs)</span>]]''</small> 05:23, 16 October 2016 (UTC) | |||
::So does that mean I and other users have permission to change the other episode articles as well? And also, on a similar note, are characters like Sawyer and Alain more important than characters like Gym Leaders who have made like two appearances or so in the series? Because lately, pages have been changed where Gym Leaders and characters like Steven Stone are put before Alain and Shauna and such, but unlike the games, the anime have made recurring characters and rivals to be more important, so shouldn't the episode pages follow suit? [[User:Playerking95|Playerking95]] ([[User talk:Playerking95|talk]]) 05:42, 16 October 2016 (UTC) | |||
:::Yeah, feel free to change the episode articles to reflect that.

Hi there. I think it's time to add Greninja's biography from XY139 and XY140 to the Ash's Greninja page. And since it was released, I don't think we need the Poké Ball image anymore. [[User:Seabiscuit2020|Seabiscuit2020]] ([[User talk:Seabiscuit2020|talk]]) 03:23, 29 October 2016 (UTC) | |||

== Physical/special split == | |||
Hi there. I saw [[Special:Diff/2529656|this edit]] of yours, and my personal opinion is that we need not include any mention of a move changing category between Gen III and IV for move pages (note that we do have it at [[list of modified moves]]). Anyway, {{u|Lino49}} apparently thinks we should include it, and has done so at {{m|Fire Punch}}, {{m|Silver Wind}}, and {{m|Shadow Ball}} as well, where neither you nor other staff have removed that (same/similar for {{m|Bite}}, where it's been mentioned for longer). For me as an ordinary editor, I don't know what the right procedure would be — after all, it's well-intentioned edits and still some kind of subjective thing. I guess it should at least be consistent, so I'm coming to you hoping you would know what to do. Thanks. [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 13:28, 6 November 2016 (UTC) | |||
:We don't need to mention it on the move pages; in Generations I through III, move categories weren't exactly a property of the ''moves'' themselves, but rather of the types. --[[User:Carmenstar97|<span style="color:#95EB5C">Carmen<small>★</small></span>]] <small>''[[User talk:Carmenstar97|<span style="color:#FEBEE8">(Talk |</span>]] [[Special:Contributions/Carmenstar97|<span style="color:#A6DAFC">contribs)</span>]]''</small> 13:39, 6 November 2016 (UTC) | |||
::Thank you, now I know the two of us agree. Anyway, would you be able to know what to do (or do that), please? [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 13:50, 6 November 2016 (UTC) | |||
:::The move pages should be restored to however they would be without the move category "change" note. I'd leave a talk page message to Lino49 about it, as well, but if you don't feel up to it I'll do it in a few hours when I get home. --[[User:Carmenstar97|<span style="color:#95EB5C">Carmen<small>★</small></span>]] <small>''[[User talk:Carmenstar97|<span style="color:#FEBEE8">(Talk |</span>]] [[Special:Contributions/Carmenstar97|<span style="color:#A6DAFC">contribs)</span>]]''</small> 14:24, 6 November 2016 (UTC) | |||
::::Yes, if you could do that, that'd be great (because it's technically a decision I guess). If I'm still around then, I would be going for the articles. Thanks! [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 14:48, 6 November 2016 (UTC) | |||

==One thing to help me with== | |||
Now that my disambiguation page creation is complete the numbering on 721 (000) needs to be moved to 802. Do you know if you could help me with that? -[[User:Tyler53841|Tyler53841]] ([[User talk:Tyler53841|talk]]) 03:11, 4 December 2016 (UTC) | |||
:That requires an update to [[Template:NumberPrevNext]], which is used on (now) 803 pages. We prefer not to update such high-use templates until low-traffic times (since it'll probably crash the server for a good few minutes), so an update will have to wait. --[[User:Carmenstar97|<span style="color:#95EB5C">Carmen<small>★</small></span>]] <small>''[[User talk:Carmenstar97|<span style="color:#FEBEE8">(Talk |</span>]] [[Special:Contributions/Carmenstar97|<span style="color:#A6DAFC">contribs)</span>]]''</small> 03:28, 4 December 2016 (UTC) | |||

== Learnset edits? == | |||
Hello, I've noticed you've been adding type information back into the wikicode for all the learnset sections on move pages. However, I am not seeing any change to the page itself when this happens, and I can't help but wonder--just what are you doing? Not meaning to criticize or anything, just genuinely curious. I don't know too much about how the wiki works, or how any of these templates are used. [[User:Xolroc|Xolroc]] ([[User talk:Xolroc|talk]]) 03:40, 23 December 2016 (UTC) | |||
:I'm updating the move pages in order to prepare for a template update. Currently, you can't see the types displayed on the page because the relevant templates haven't been updated yet. Once all the pages are updated, the template will be updated. If the template were updated before the pages were updated, you would just see a bunch of "Unknown" types or something on the move pages, but if the pages are all prepared before a template update, then once the templates have been updated, the correct types will display instantly. --[[User:Carmenstar97|<span style="color:#95EB5C">Carmen<small>★</small></span>]] <small>''[[User talk:Carmenstar97|<span style="color:#FEBEE8">(Talk |</span>]] [[Special:Contributions/Carmenstar97|<span style="color:#A6DAFC">contribs)</span>]]''</small> 03:44, 23 December 2016 (UTC) | |||

== Z-Move templates == | |||
I didn't know that there was a staff decision about this subject, and I'm honestly surprised about this. I figured that improvised moves need a description, sure, since they naturally don't have pages of their own, but Z-Moves, on the other hand, DO have their own pages, where the anime description can be put into. My thought was to use a similar style as with the moves used via {{m|Metronome}}/{{m|Mimic}}/etc. in the anime, which also use regular move templates, but apparently that's not the case with Z-Moves. Can this be changed? --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 16:20, 2 January 2017 (UTC) | |||
:The current setup was [[Special:Diff/2573950|decided]] by our Head of Anime and Kogoro. We haven't seen Z-Moves being used much in the anime yet, so what we're currently using is subject to change depending on how Z-Moves are treated as the Sun & Moon series moves along. If you have any suggestions for how we should display Z-Moves in the anime, please share them with {{u|Pokemaster97}}. --[[User:Carmenstar97|<span style="color:#95EB5C">Carmen<small>★</small></span>]] <small>''[[User talk:Carmenstar97|<span style="color:#FEBEE8">(Talk |</span>]] [[Special:Contributions/Carmenstar97|<span style="color:#A6DAFC">contribs)</span>]]''</small> 16:39, 2 January 2017 (UTC) | |||

:That's alright; as long as you're aware now. Just a tip for the future: if you notice that an edit of yours keeps getting reverted, don't just simply redo it; that is considered edit warring and is grounds for a short block. Instead of edit warring, you can ask why your edit is continually being reverted either on the talk page of the article or on the talk page of the user who reverted your edit. Please keep this in mind when editing in the future. Thanks. --[[User:Carmenstar97|<span style="color:#95EB5C">Carmen<small>★</small></span>]] <small>''[[User talk:Carmenstar97|<span style="color:#FEBEE8">(Talk |</span>]] [[Special:Contributions/Carmenstar97|<span style="color:#A6DAFC">contribs)</span>]]''</small> 02:57, 8 January 2017 (UTC) | |||
== User:Poképowder == | |||
I just noticed that [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Special:Contributions/Pok%C3%A9powder User:Poképowder]'s recent contributions look almost word-for-word identical to those of [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Special:Contributions/Thesaurus Thesaurus] several months ago, down to the absence of all intervening edits. Therefore, I suspect this may be a sockpuppet user, so I wanted to alert a staff member. Thanks for your time. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 19:51, 8 January 2017 (UTC) | |||
:I am aware and have brought it up with other staff members. It will be dealt with when an administrator becomes available. Thanks for the concern. --[[User:Carmenstar97|<span style="color:#95EB5C">Carmen<small>★</small></span>]] <small>''[[User talk:Carmenstar97|<span style="color:#FEBEE8">(Talk |</span>]] [[Special:Contributions/Carmenstar97|<span style="color:#A6DAFC">contribs)</span>]]''</small> 19:56, 8 January 2017 (UTC) | |||
::Looking at these edits myself, they seem like reasonable things to add. A description of the character's appearance would be useful to vision-impaired users, after all. The user's behaviour, on the other hand, is not acceptable; edit warring is explicitly not allowed and I want to make it clear I am defending the content the user is adding, not the manner in which they are going about doing it. [[User:Xolroc|Xolroc]] ([[User talk:Xolroc|talk]]) 19:59, 8 January 2017 (UTC) | |||
:::I wouldn't call making things up "reasonable". Plenty of what this user is adding just plain isn't real. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 20:02, 8 January 2017 (UTC) | |||

:::::Actually, I should have looked more closely. Even the outfit ones are made up. Though the idea of adding a simple (and ''correct'') visual description is still one I feel has merit. [[User:Xolroc|Xolroc]] ([[User talk:Xolroc|talk]]) 20:07, 8 January 2017 (UTC) | |||
== Why would you delete my n2num thing? == | |||
Well, technically it isn't deleted yet, but still, what's wrong with a lowercase one? [[User:Unowninator|Unowninator]] ([[User talk:Unowninator|talk]]) 18:51, 10 May 2017 (UTC) | |||
:First of all...you don't just duplicate any page. There's absolutely no logical reason to do that. The reasoning "it was annoying me" isn't a valid one at all. Second...the {{template|N2Num}} template is in the template namespace. You created the new page in the mainspace, making it so that any casual reader can access just by clicking the [[Special:Random|Random page]] link in the sidebar. Third...a lowercase version isn't necessary. That is all. --[[User:Carmenstar97|<span style="color:#95EB5C">Carmen<small>★</small></span>]] <small>''[[User talk:Carmenstar97|<span style="color:#FEBEE8">(Talk |</span>]] [[Special:Contributions/Carmenstar97|<span style="color:#A6DAFC">contribs)</span>]]''</small> 19:01, 10 May 2017 (UTC) | |||
== About the template I made == | |||
My apologies for not following protocol. I was unaware of a specific policy concerning permission for creating templates, and I didn't think that this addition was particularly controversial. Anyway, to that end, I'd like to see to it that the template is moved back to my userspace while approval is pending. (And please let me know how I should go about obtaining that approval.) Thank you! | |||
—[[User:WhosHaddady|<span style="color:#f1912b">'''Haddady'''</span>]] [[User talk:WhosHaddady|<small><span style="color:#5599ca">~Straight Outta the Bag~</span></small>]] 18:33, 20 June 2017 (UTC) | |||
:The template was indeed moved back to your userspace. In general, in order to obtain approval for mainspacing a template, you add <code><nowiki>{{mainspace|template|status=complete}}</nowiki></code> to the top of the template (inside noinclude brackets, of course). This will add it to {{cat|Templates for mainspacing}}. (If you're not quite done setting up the template, then add <code><nowiki>{{mainspace|template}}</nowiki></code> instead to place it in {{cat|Templates for mainspacing/Under construction}}.) You should also show examples of the template being used on the talk page of the template so that the staff can see how you plan to implement it and what it will look like when used. When you think you're all set, you can try contacting a {{bp|staff}} member on their talk page to let them know you want your template to be mainspaced. | |||
:Now, as for this specific template, I'd say it would be better to just place the entire table hard-coded on the page itself instead of using a template for it. We rarely make templates that will only be used on one page, and when we do, it's because there's a lot of data involved. This is not a case that needs a template. --[[User:Carmenstar97|<span style="color:#95EB5C">Carmen<small>★</small></span>]] <small>''[[User talk:Carmenstar97|<span style="color:#FEBEE8">(Talk |</span>]] [[Special:Contributions/Carmenstar97|<span style="color:#A6DAFC">contribs)</span>]]''</small> 19:02, 20 June 2017 (UTC) | |||
::Thank you for responding. I'll be sure to follow those steps the next time I'm preparing a template for the mainspace, and I suppose I'll just code the table into the article like you suggested. Should I go ahead and delete the mainspace template page, or leave it to someone else? | |||
