User talk:The Great Butler

Since you never got one...

Welcome

Welcome to Bulbapedia, The Great Butler!

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:The Great Butler/(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! --TTEchidna 00:12, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

Additionally

If you create a page, categorize it, and if you don't like the page, don't blank it. TTEchidna 00:12, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

About Jun...

Yeah. We're not creating it yet because we don't want some crazy amount of speculation. We would, but the fact is that it's just not needed yet... especially since most CotDs wait several weeks before they get pages. He'll have his page SOON. TTEchidna 03:00, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

Link Templates

When making an edit like yours, you can just use {{p|Mantine}}, instead of [[Mantine {Pokémon)|Mantine]], its much easier. --^Psychic_Rider^☮ 02:46, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

- I see. I will keep this in mind for future edits. Thanks. ~Butler

You're welcome. There wasn't anything wrong with using your method, it just saves space by using the "p" template. --^Psychic_Rider^☮ 02:57, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

Predictions

I like your predictions...they might actually work!...I like Lord of the PokéRingers' but it's probably not going to be that, for it's more of a recent show.--^☆Tavisource 01:24, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

Thanks. I really couldn't figure out a much better name for that episode. --The Great Butler 01:33, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

Edit Summary

Hi you dont seem to be using edit summaries at all.Please start using them.It helps people in petrolling. --Prongs (Talk • Contributions) 04:01, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

They don't have too.--☆Coolピカチュウ! 04:03, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

Someone pointed it out on my talk page. --Prongs (Talk • Contributions) 04:05, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

You do. But I perfer not to use them often.--☆Coolピカチュウ! 04:17, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

Conversely, I have made only two edits without one... and then, by accident. It is preferable and advised for all persons to make an accurate summary of what they've done. It looks good in the page history, too. — THE TROM — 04:27, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

Links

You really need to provide links as proof of where you found all this out to avoid being reverted by other users. So can you prove that Palmer will be in DP138? --ケンジのガール 03:29, 18 July 2009 (UTC)

- <<< This image, which came from a magazine scan featuring all the other information about DP138. --The Great Butler 03:30, 18 July 2009 (UTC)

Thanks! --ケンジのガール 03:34, 18 July 2009 (UTC)

No problem. Also, I apologize for not using the right templates on DP138's page - I saw Delia's in the original version and thought it was miscoded, and I didn't know there was a Frontier Brain template. --The Great Butler 03:37, 18 July 2009 (UTC)

It's alright. The FB template's a pain to remember anyway. --ケンジのガール 03:39, 18 July 2009 (UTC)

The movie cards

Changing that one name breaks a lot more than you know about. Just warning you. ^Maverick_Nate 02:58, 18 November 2009 (UTC)

Plūf

You added "Plūf" to the Movie characters template, right? I have no idea who's that but I can say one thing - this romanization is awkward. In Engrish-ized romanization we omit macron marks. But for proper romanization, one needs a Kana spelling. What's the Kana spelling of this name. If it's "プルーフ" then "Proof" would be a better romanization. --Maxim 10:32, 17 April 2010 (UTC)

Talk pages

You've been here a while, you should know the talk page policy. Talk pages are for discussing the quality/substance of the article, remember? As such, the Tea Party/Glenn Beck comments were unnecessary and have been deleted. —darklordtrom 02:02, 29 April 2010 (UTC)

It was a joke, meant to ask why "Tea Party" was added to the page's template as the Pokémon Nappers leader. --The Great Butler 02:05, 29 April 2010 (UTC)

Next time do so in a more clear way. Not everything has to be a joke. Umeko added Tea Party; she's got an extensive knowledge of Japanese so I'd be inclined to believe it. —darklordtrom 02:19, 29 April 2010 (UTC)

Ingo and Emmet

Would you mind providing proof of that the twins will appear in BW047 and BW048? ^★Jo the Marten^★ ಠ_ಠ♥ 06:50, 19 August 2011 (UTC)

Nevermind. I see it now. ^★Jo the Marten^★ ಠ_ಠ♥ 06:51, 19 August 2011 (UTC)
