User talk:Mr. Charlie
Welcome
Welcome to Bulbapedia, Mr. Charlie!
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:Mr. Charlie/(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! --PsychicRider☮ 23:51, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
Link templates
Please use link templates when appropriate; for example, instead of linking to [[Platinum]] or [[Togekiss]], use {{p|Togekiss}} and {{v2|Platinum}}. This ensures you link to the appropriate page instead of a disambiguation page or redirect. See the list of link templates for more information. --Martonimos((Argh|Blargh)) 20:28, 11 September 2008 (UTC)
OK.
The problem is with Template:Moveentry. You see, the ninth field of that template allows you to enter the games that the Pokémon learns that move in. So, hypothetically, if Chikorita could learn Power Whip, but only in Crystal, I'd put
{{Learnlist|Grass}}
{{Moveentry|152|Chikorita|1|Grass||20|'''||C}}
{{Learnlist/footer}}
And get
| # | Pokémon | Type | Level | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0152 | 
|
Chikorita |
Grass | 20 | |
| Bold indicates a Pokémon which gets STAB from this move. Italic indicates a Pokémon whose evolution gets STAB from this move. | |||||
But that ninth field doesn't yet allow for DP or Pt, meaning you could put in Pt there for Glaceon learning Barrier, but it wouldn't show up as anything. I've poste a request on the template's talk page for one of the admins to do something about that. Hopefully, it won't take them very long to do so... --Martonimos((Argh|Blargh)) 20:35, 13 September 2008 (UTC)
- I'd say go ahead for now, but keep one eye open. If the admins do things a little differently from what expect them to, we'll have to go back and change all those pages to match, so be ready in case that happens. --Martonimos((Argh|Blargh)) 21:03, 13 September 2008 (UTC)
- Ok, it's been fixed. Man, I need a break... and I'm not even doing the hard part here. --Martonimos((Argh|Blargh)) 23:14, 13 September 2008 (UTC)
Hey
Just a heads-up: People aren't allowed to do more than three edits to their userpages a day. You're right up against that limit, so I figured I'd warn you now instead of waiting for you to go over. --Martonimos((Argh|Blargh)) 22:11, 13 September 2008 (UTC)
