I'm no admin, but I do know that Bulbapedia is NOT all about the userspace.

Trust me, I've been through it! If you are here to help make Bulbapedia the best source for Pokémon related information on the internet, go for it, but if you are here to make a userpage and chat with Pokéman fans than you are on the wrong site, that is for the forums which is linked to in the navigation menu on the left side of the screen.

By creating your account you are now able to edit pages, join discussions, and expand the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia. Before you jump in, here are some ground rules:

  • Be nice to everyone. It's in the code of conduct.
  • Make good edits. Preview them before you save to make sure they're perfect the first time around.
  • Use wikicode and link templates when adding content to a page.
  • Use proper grammar and spelling, and read the manual of style.
  • You can't create a userpage until you've added to the encyclopedia. It's a privilege. See the userspace policy.
  • Use talk pages to resolve editing disputes. Don't "edit war," or constantly re-edit/undo the same thing on a page.
  • If you have a question about something, be proactive. Ask for help. The staff won't bite.
  • Sign all talk page posts with four tildes (~~~~). This will turn into your name and the time you wrote the comment.
  • For more handy links, see the welcome portal.
Thank you, and have a good time editing here!

The "English" names

Here on Bulbapedia we only use officially confirmed English names. Dewott has not been confirmed by any official source, therefore it is not used. Other fansites are not good sources. Werdnae (talk) 23:45, 25 January 2011 (UTC)
