Some notes

Numbers below ten are always written long form. Also, please preview your pages before saving them. you have "Pokémon with Quick Feet" on the Harvest page. Just, try to catch all your mistakes before you save. ^Maverick_Nate 17:04, 29 September 2010 (UTC)

• Sorry about that, and thanks for letting me know. Pikiwyn 17:07, 29 September 2010 (UTC)

Lightningrod and Storm Drain

chould you prof hat this abilities in gen 5 absorb the damage like seribii says? http://www.serebii.net/blackwhite/updatedability.shtml --Hanmac 09:22, 30 September 2010 (UTC)

Yes, it was tested here [1], and Smogon is a reliable source. Pikiwyn 09:34, 30 September 2010 (UTC)

so the Type effectiveness template must be updated, same as Shimama, it has elec immun from 2 abilities --Hanmac 09:44, 30 September 2010 (UTC)

Yes, I'm not sure how to add that though. Pikiwyn 09:47, 30 September 2010 (UTC)

Abilities

It is requested that you stop adding information about abilities. It is quite obvious that you are just copying from other sites, and Bulbapedia has yet to standardize the ability names like we have with moves. due to this, people will have to go back and correct all of your edits, so you might as well not do them in the first place. We are not yet prepared to do abilities, and you really need to stop. ^Maverick_Nate 16:31, 30 September 2010 (UTC)

Do you mean adding Dream World abilities to Pokémon pages, or making new pages on abilities and adding generation V Pokémon to old ones? Pikiwyn 16:34, 30 September 2010 (UTC)

Both ^Maverick_Nate 16:35, 30 September 2010 (UTC)

Number redirects

Instead of copying them from one page, which will obviously result in a lot of small mistakes like this, you can use the {{BASEPAGENAME}} code. It will automatically recrd the page name, that is the number. For example, in this page, that template will automatically produce "Pikiwyn". Thanks.--Sher-e-Bengal- 13:00, 8 October 2010 (UTC)
