hi

Hi PsychicRider,

can I have a question? Can you look at this? My English is not much good so please write me back. Is my user page OK? Thanks. - unsigned comment from Issus (talk • contribs)

Hello, Yes your user page is OK, basically anything can really go on the userpage as long as it follows the Userspace policy and as long the edits to the userspace are kept low compared to the mainspace, so it's fine right now. :D. --Psy_ライダー☮ 18:37, 5 December 2009 (UTC)

That's fine. Thanks. --Issus 21:55, 5 December 2009 (UTC)

No problem, I'm happy to help. :) --Psy_ライダー☮ 21:56, 5 December 2009 (UTC)

Cerulean City

Hi, just trying to understand a revision you made to the Cerulean City page last month. You added a full moveset listing for Bulbasaur when it's just the default moves for its level. Is there any special reason why this needs to be displayed? Schreiber 10:09, 18 December 2009 (UTC)

It's the moveset to the Bulbasaur that is given to the player in Yellow, and is a special event-ish Pokémon. --Psy_ライダー☮ 22:05, 18 December 2009 (UTC)

Well aware. It must have slipped once or twice. I've done quite a lot of summaries with quite a lot of links. It's only natural that I slip up once. SinnohFan 22:31, 3 January 2010 (UTC)

Ok. Well, actually...You really didn't do anything wrong with the links...It was more of a easier thing to do instead of typing out like [[Pikachu (Pokémon)|Pikachu]] you could have used {{p|Pikachu}} for example. I wasn't aware that you knew the link templates were there...Apologies~ --Psy_ライダー☮ 22:44, 3 January 2010 (UTC)

But why is it necessary for you to edit them? I come from Wikipedia and WikiHow and I'm very used to the [[LINK|TEXT]] style. It's not actually easier for me to write {{p|Pikachu}} because I am way too used to LINK/TEXT. I don't find it necessary to have to learn your template style, nor do I find it necessary for you to need to edit my LINK/TEXT style. As long as I redirect them to the correct page, I see very little differences other than I have to memorize another template on one. SinnohFan 01:45, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

Because Link Templates are official policy here on Bulbapedia. Bulbapedia is not Wikipedia. Our policies are different from theirs...--Psy_ライダー☮ 01:54, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

Well then how about this: I'll write my summaries and make someone else do the links. I spend plenty of my time doing favors for this site and if it's going to be nitpicky with my templates and force me to change years of experience, then I'll stick with my experience and make someone else do the webbing. SinnohFan 01:58, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

No. That's more work for us to follow you around and fix what you can do in one edit. Our policies and rules > Wikipedia rules and polices... --Psy_ライダー☮ 02:02, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

Show me in the rules where it says I have to web-together pages when I edit. I plan(ned) on finishing up the summaries for the entire anime series, and you can have the summaries without the links or you have the summaries with the links without the template or you don't have the summaries at all. Choose your pick. SinnohFan 02:06, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

The templates are policy for a reason; by containing the links within small templates, page bytes are reduced, it makes our jobs easier when re-locating pages, and cuts down on links to disambiguation pages.

We do appreciate your work writing these summaries, but if you're not going to correctly template and format them, you only give us more work; following behind your every edit and fixing your formatting. Time and edits that could be spent writing summaries in the correct format the first time around.

I'm not asking you to memorize much, or completely re-learn coding. It's as simple as using {{p|Pikachu}} instead of [[Pikachu (Pokémon)|Pikachu]], and so on. The link templates aren't hard to remember at all; if you can't remember one, it's not a huge deal, if you mess one up, not a big issue. But if you're going to completely ignore them because you prefer to do it Wikipedia style, then perhaps you'd be better off spending your time editing Wikipedia, rather then coming here and attempting to apply Wikipedia's style to Bulbapedia.

And just an FYI, I'm personally a long-time editor of both Wikipedia and a few other MediaWiki sites, as well as an administrator on a few. I know what you mean when you say you've grown used to the normal link formatting. But you'll just have to trust me when I say that using the link templates here is not only easy, but in most instances, a good deal faster and simpler.

Just do us a favor and try to use them. -- Jïörüjï Ðērākō.>.cнаt^ 02:19, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

Well then if I'm so much work you can keep your empty summaries. SinnohFan 02:28, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

(resetting indent)We have many users here. If you want to cooperate, that's fine. If you don't want to, that's fine too. This and this may help. ^ht14 02:35, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

I'm aware you have many users, but I was the only one who has the initiative to finish the entire anime series' summaries. I'm quite exuberant with not cooperating and leaving you guys with blank summaries. See ya. SinnohFan 02:51, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

We just want you to use link templates. It's truly not harder than what you're doing. If you want to leave, that's your choice. All we want it is for you to use them. They are much easier and allow for quicker change if necessary... --Psy_ライダー☮ 02:58, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

Phantom page

What did you just do on the The Phantom page? --Hmdwgf 06:32, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

Spelling mistakes. I fixed "projecters" to "projectors"" and "vincity" to "vicinity". Tis all~ --Psy_ライダー☮ 06:49, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

Ah. I never saw those mistakes. --Hmdwgf 08:01, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

Oh, I see. I do make those kind of edits a lot. --Psy_ライダー☮ 13:33, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

I need a little help

How to do a redirect, I kinda forgot.--Midnight Blue 02:06, 29 January 2010 (UTC)

#REDIRECT [[Where you want to link]]. --Psy_ライダー☮ 02:08, 29 January 2010 (UTC)

And where do I put that? Darn my natural stupidity.--Midnight Blue 02:10, 29 January 2010 (UTC)

You just create the page you want to redirect to, and paste that there and click save and it should redirect to the main page when you search the redirected article...If that makes sense...>_>. --Psy_ライダー☮ 02:15, 29 January 2010 (UTC)

Alright, thanks.--Midnight Blue 02:16, 29 January 2010 (UTC)

No problem~ --Psy_ライダー☮ 02:27, 29 January 2010 (UTC)

EP137-Sorry for causing you extra work

My most abject apologies. I'm new to Bulbapedia so just to clarify a few things:

• Use American English
• Capitalise the word "Pokémon"
• Spell check everything (Sorry again for being lazy there)
• And also it seems, use templates rather than piped linking.

Is there anything else I missed?

Thank you for your time.--Beligaronia 09:28, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

Follow the MOS, don't put your opinion, and make sure what you're adding is true. And that should be it. R.A. Hunter Blade 13:44, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, that's about right. It's not a problem though since a majority of what I do is spelling/grammar checks...--Psy_ライダー☮ 15:47, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

Buddy

Can't you take a joke? That was a joke you just erased on Getsui's Page. I clearly said "not really".--Muk-a-matic-Maketh the Muk go round... 07:30, 14 February 2010 (UTC)
