User talk:Dialgafan1
Welcome
Welcome to Bulbapedia, Dialgafan1!
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.
- Read over the style primer before making your edits. It is a basic outline of Bulbapedia style. For a more in-depth set of rules, see the manual of style.
- Keep an eye on the Messages from the Editor on the main page, to stay informed on current events on Bulbapedia.
- The word Pokémon is spelled with a capital P and an accented é. The é can be accessed by holding Alt and typing either 130 or 0233 on a Windows computer, and by using Option + e, then e again on a Mac. Otherwise, you can easily 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 capital B. 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.
- 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. This is done so that both Bulbapedia and Bulbanews have access to the images uploaded. To activate your account at the Archives and Bulbanews, please login there using the same username and password you use here on Bulbapedia.
- If you want to make a page about a character you made up, please create it at User:Dialgafan1/(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! ----DCM((TalkContributions)) 01:01, 20 September 2008 (UTC)
Pokémon
Pokémon is spelt with a capital P and an accented E. The latter is obtainable on the character palette below the editbox.--freezingCOLD (page, talk) 22:29, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
Second reminder
Please remember to use the accented e when typing the word Pokémon. It is found in the character palette below the edit window or by typing Alt + 0233. --PAK Man Talk 17:25, 10 January 2009 (UTC)
Link Templates
Please use link templates when linking to stuff such as Pokémon names, attacks, and the like. For example, {{p|Shaymin}} instead of just [[Shaymin]]. This is so you don't unintentionally link to a disambiguation page.
For a full crash course on link templates, look at the list of link templates. ----freezingCOLD (page, talk) 20:48, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
Pokémon
Pokémon is not spelled "Pokemon", it's "Pokémon". Remember this. Chocolate (Chat with Me) 19:26, 19 January 2009 (UTC)
Piloswine trivia
If a piece of trivia is removed more than one time, especially if one of those times is by a sysop, it's not wise to keep reinserting it. Repeated reinsertation of non-notable trivia is a blockable offense. Don't insert that piece you've been putting on Piloswine's article again or else you'll be blocked. --Shiningpikablu252 20:13, 19 January 2009 (UTC)
Preview Button
please use it regularly. -- MAGNEDETH 21:11, 19 January 2009 (UTC)
- This is very important, please listen to it. The Dark Fiddler - Nos hablamos? 21:59, 19 January 2009 (UTC)
Just wondering...
Where are you getting the starter Pokémon info for MD3?--RexRacer -talk 21:59, 19 January 2009 (UTC)
Hi
I noticed you have been editing the User: namespace a lot today. You may not be aware of this, but Bulbapedia has a Userspace policy that asks users to try and minimize the number of Userspace edits they make in a short period of time. Instead of making multiple edits, why not use the Preview button (Alt + Shift + P) located right next to the edit button to look at your page and see how it is coming? That way, your page can look great while staying within the required amount of edits. Just wait until tomorrow, ok? Thanks! --0° 18:15, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
Hold on!
If you did not read your last warning, then please read it now. You have edited the User: namespace too much for now. Please do not edit your page any more for now, as it is hard on the server. Thank you, --0° 18:16, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
Sorry
I'm sorry, I didn't know that. I will stop editing for a little while.--Dialgafan1 18:20, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
- You said you'd stop, but you just edited again, so...
Stop.
Do not edit the User: namespace any more. In the past, we were not allowed to edit our pages at all because of users over-editing their pages. If you edit your page any more today then the privilege for you to edit it will be removed. --0° 18:34, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
