As for anything you should know, stay away from trivia (or any statements for that matter) that could be viewed as an opinion. Also avoid overly obvious trivia that may already be stated or easily seen from reading the article itself. I hope this helps some.

== Bulba Handbook ==
Do you know where Bulba Handbook gets their information? I know for sure that not all of it's from Bulbapedia, because some stuff on Bulba Handbook isn't on Bulbapedia. If you don't know, who should I ask? [[User:Sumwun|sumwun]] ([[User talk:Sumwun|talk]]) 19:17, 4 July 2017 (UTC)
:Sorry for the late response on this. As I was not the one who directly worked on the Handbook, I can't say where all of that information was originally found. What I can say is that the standards for the verification of sources are far higher on Bulbapedia than they were on the Handbook, which was a far smaller scale project. For more information, I can point you to the user Soki, who's more active on the Forums. I hope this helps in some way.  '''''[[User:Pokemaster97|<span style="color:Blue;">--Pokemaster</span>]][[User talk:Pokemaster97|<span style="color:Blue;">97</span>]]''''' 22:07, 7 July 2017 (UTC)
== Hareta's Luxray ==
Is the page [[User:Rahl/Hareta's Luxray]] ready to be mainspaced? I know it would be better to ask an admin who is in charge of manga related articles, but I've been ignored by one and the other is on a break so I'm not sure where else to take this to see if it is ready.

==Voice actor pages==
Hi, if you go onto my userpage(which is more or less a to-do list) you will see under the heading "Pages made but currently in userspace" three articles on the voice actors Rie Tanaka, Takahiro Sakurai and Yuuichi Nakamura. When a time is convenient could you please mainspace those pages for me please? Thanks. [[User:Nikuriku|Nikuriku]] ([[User talk:Nikuriku|talk]]) 02:43, 23 July 2017 (UTC)
== Unapproved seiyu page ==
I noticed that {{user|Singaporean}} has created the [[Sachi Kokuryū]] page directly in the mainspace without getting staff approval first.

== E-Reader Redirect  ==
I have seen {{Red link|e-reader}} stylized as: [[smw:File:E-Reader North America Title Screen.png]]. That's why I created the redirect. --[[User:Wildgoosespeeder|Wildgoosespeeder]] ([[User talk:Wildgoosespeeder|talk]]) 20:20, 5 January 2018 (UTC)
:I can see why you created that redirect, but Mediawiki (the software Bulbapedia is run on) is not case sensitive when using the "search" system/search bar. Therefore, "e-reader" would already automatically redirect to "e-Reader", because it's already reading the upper and lowercase "R" as the same.

:::I believe it's a safe assumption that a vast majority of our userbase/readers won't be searching for a specific page via URL. As for the redlink, I added the <nowiki>{{Red link}}</nowiki> template to it so it doesn't appear in the wanted pages. There's not a strong reason to keep that redirect.

::::I got a middleground I think we can agree on. For the delete reason, link to [[e-Reader]]. This might require restoring the deletion and deleting again. --[[User:Wildgoosespeeder|Wildgoosespeeder]] ([[User talk:Wildgoosespeeder|talk]]) 21:18, 5 January 2018 (UTC)

== Change username request ==
Hello, I just wanted to start to contribute in Bulbapedia, so before to start an new account registration, I just tried the option of recover password, then surprisingly I already have a registered account, but I don't use this nickname anymore... so I was wondering if you please can change my username to "Toramaru", or you just suggest me to de-attach my mail of this account and start over?... I ask this, because this account have a very "ancient" registration date... for me at least xd. Thank you so much! [[User:Ewainn|Ewainn]] ([[User talk:Ewainn|talk]]) 06:40, 12 June 2018 (UTC)9
: Well, I waited enough, I tired, so I have created this new account, i know, i lost the progress of the old one... but well is fine, so forget this request, thank you... feel free to delete my old account if you want, i dont care, i'll not use it anymore, i will edit articles with this new, starting from today, bye [[User:Toramaru|Toramaru]] ([[User talk:Toramaru|talk]]) 23:37, 4 February 2019 (UTC)
== Searching for arbitration on a dispute with an admin ==
Hello,
I looking for staff arbitration of a dispute about alleged sockpuppeting. A friend of mine (Doondook De Storm) was banned, accused of being my alt, and a notice was left on my page not to make more accounts. However, I did not create his account and I'm wanting to see if another staff member could look into the issue if anybody's got the time. A quick check of the IP addresses would show that we live in totally different countries.
Thank you and best wishes. [[User:Bogavante|Bogavante]] ([[User talk:Bogavante|talk]]) 21:50, 6 October 2018 (UTC)
== Username change request ==
My username on Bulbapedia is Randomwaffle23. I despise this name, and I regret having ever been young and stupid enough to choose it for anything. On more than one occasion, I've had people assume I'm a new user who doesn't know what he's doing, even when my edits are constructive and in good faith. People figure they probably know better than someone named Randomwaffle23.
I don't want to be looked down on because of these kinds of assumptions. I don't want to be an eternal "new user". So, I'd like to have my account's username changed to '''Ardub23''', a name which has fewer connotations (and which matches my username on various other sites). Or, failing that, I'd like to be permitted to create a new account under that name.
Thank you for considering my request. —&nbsp;[[User:Randomwaffle23|Randomwaffle23]] ([[User talk:Randomwaffle23|talk]]) 19:33, 18 October 2018 (UTC)
== Template wikicode question ==
I am writing a sandboxed version of the {{template|alldex}} row template for use on a draft article ([[User:Force Fire/List of Pokémon that appear in multiple regional Pokédex]]) that is currently nominated for mainspacing. I want this sandboxed version to take into account whether a non-numeric input (like <code>---</code> or <code>???</code>) is fed to any of its parameters.
On the current version in templatespace, whenever a non-numeric input is fed to the <code>s=</code> parameter, as in the following example:
<pre>{{alldexh|1}}
{{alldex|1|084|j=204|oj=199|h=095|oh=092|s=---|u2dex=---|kdex=094|kr=Central|adex=---|Doduo|2|Normal|Flying}}
|}</pre>
I get the following error message:
{{alldexh|1}}
{{alldex|1|084|j=204|oj=199|h=095|oh=092|s=---|u2dex=---|kdex=094|kr=Central|adex=---|Doduo|2|Normal|Flying}}
|}
This is because of the following numeric comparison statement being executed by the template to determine whether or not to append <span style="background:white">{{sup/4|Pt}}</span> to the Sdex number:
<pre>{{#ifexpr: {{{s|001}}} > 151|{{Sup/4|Pt}}}}</pre>
The comparison <code><nowiki>{{{s|001}}} > 151</nowiki></code> crashes whenever <code>s=</code> is non-numeric. So, I want to modify my sandboxed copy of {{template|alldex}} to not execute the numeric comparison above unless the input is purely numeric.
I want to ask if there is a wikicode command (like <code><nowiki>{{#ifnum: {{{in|def}}}|out}}</nowiki></code> or similar) that I can use in my template to check whether the input is a number (positive, negative, etc.) and execute the output only upon meeting that numeric constraint. That way, I could have my template do this without crashing or returning error messages:
<pre>{{#ifnum: {{{s|001}}}|{{#ifexpr: {{{s|001}}} > 151|{{Sup/4|Pt}}}}}}</pre>
I could also use such a construct to tell the template to supress any <code><nowiki>{{tt|*|}}</nowiki></code> tooltips for non-numeric inputs (like <code>---</code>, used to express that a Pokémon is not in that regional Pokédex), so that for the example above I get something like this:
{{alldexh|1}}
|- style="background:#FFFFFF;"
| style="font-family:Monospace;" | #084
| style="font-family:Monospace;" | #084
| style="font-family:Monospace;" | #204{{tt|*|199 in Generation II}}
| style="font-family:Monospace;" | #095{{tt|*|092 in Generation III}}
| style="font-family:Monospace;" | #---
| style="font-family:Monospace;" | #---
| style="font-family:Monospace;" | #094{{tt|*|Central}}
| style="font-family:Monospace;" | #---
| {{MS|084|Doduo (Pokémon)}}
| {{p|Doduo}}
| style="text-align:center; background:#{{normal color}}" | [[Normal (type)|<span style="color:#FFFFFF">Normal</span>]]
| style="text-align:center; background:#{{flying color}}" | [[Flying (type)|<span style="color:#FFFFFF">Flying</span>]]
|}

== help ==
Hello! I wanted to help with item descriptions by adding a verbal description since the pictures are very small on mobile and sometimes don't load due to errors or bad signal.
someone was removing them and messaged me to stop and that the pictures were enough.
this was my reply: "    I'm adding the descriptions because on mobile or low wifi or bad data the pictures don't load at all sometimes. If you can't get the picture a description is a good way to help someone identify an item they have. please leave them alone."
I went to correct my signature and spelling and I couldn't save. It says I was abusing somehow? abuse 3 or something. Please help! I'm not entirely sure how the talking thing works even after reading the page and I hope this gets top you okay.
