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. MaverickNate 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. MaverickNate 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 MaverickNate 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)

Thanks for the help! Pikiwyn 13:02, 8 October 2010 (UTC)

Signature

As per the Signature policy, text in signatures should be no bigger than standard text to avoid stretching the lines. please remove the <big> tags from your signature. Thanks. Werdnae (talk) 21:59, 9 October 2010 (UTC)

Removed. Pikiwyn talk 22:36, 9 October 2010 (UTC)

Generation V breeding tables

Hi. You may not be aware of this, but we're currently in the process of removing the line breaks from the breeding tables to prevent them from taking up too much vertical space. The tables you altered were intended to be that way. Bikini Miltank 15:23, 19 October 2010 (UTC)

No I wasn't aware, sorry about that. Pikiwyn talk 10:26, 20 October 2010 (UTC)

why are you changing them all to null? -- MAGNEDETH 21:40, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

He's changing move tutor tables, not breeding tables.--でんのう Zえんし 21:44, 22 October 2010 (UTC)
Yes, In Black and White the only Pokémon capable of being tutored moves are the starters, Meloetta and Dragon types. Pikiwyn talk 21:45, 22 October 2010 (UTC)
youre right, i was looking at the wrong section. -- MAGNEDETH 21:49, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

Moving files

To request a file move, use the {{move}} on Bulbagarden Archives. Don't request it here on Bulbapedia because that can get... messy. —darklordtrom 23:31, 29 November 2010 (UTC)

Okay, I'll do that next time, also in Generation V trapping moves were changed to last 4-5 turns, so should Category:Moves that trap for 2-5 turns be moved too?
I commented about that on the talk page for the category. —darklordtrom 10:08, 30 November 2010 (UTC)
Do you mean here? Because I only see my comment. Pikiwyn talk 10:15, 30 November 2010 (UTC)
It's the thought that counts, right? —darklordtrom 10:28, 30 November 2010 (UTC)
Haha yea, SnorlaxMonster got to it. Pikiwyn talk 10:32, 30 November 2010 (UTC)

Christmas contest~

Only one entry is allowed at once. Make your choice between Move variations and the kilogram page. I highly suggest the first one, because the kilogram page is slowly getting merged with List of Pokémon by weight, which is already taken. MaverickNate 19:17, 5 December 2010 (UTC)
