User talk:Solemn Mac

Welcome to Bulbapedia, Solemn Mac!

Thank you for joining our community! By creating an account you are now able to edit pages, join discussions, and expand the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia. This is a brief introduction to Bulbapedia's rules and resources to help you get started: All users are expected to follow the code of conduct and to be kind to one another. If you have a question, check out our FAQ; the manual of style provides detailed editing guidance, and the wikicode page provides details about how to use wikicode. You can always ask for help by contacting a staff member. Please preview your edits before saving them; this helps you double-check your changes and reduces the need for repeated minor edits. Use talk pages to discuss changes and resolve editing disputes. Creating a userpage is allowed after you've added to the encyclopedia; for more details, see the userspace policy. Sign all talk page posts with four tildes (~~~~) so people know who is commenting. This will turn into your name and the time you wrote the comment. For more handy links and information, check out the welcome portal.

Thank you, and have a good time editing here!   ㄱ쉰 G50 07:10, 29 May 2021 (UTC)

The Preview Button

Instead of editing a page several times in a row, try using the preview button to make sure your edit looks the way you want it to. It's right next to the Save Page button. Please try it out, so as not to clog up the Recent Changes. Also, if you want to edit multiple sections of the page, make sure that you click "edit this page" at the top of the page rather than editing it by section. Thanks! --ㄱ쉰 G50 07:10, 29 May 2021 (UTC)

You're still neglecting to use it. --FinnishPokéFan92 (talk) 18:42, 29 May 2021 (UTC)

I apologize for the wait. I'll do as you say from now onward. Solemn Mac (talk) 20:05, 29 May 2021 (UTC)

I'm really sorry! I'm only correcting some errors. May you please forgive me? I am using the Preview Button often and improving. Solemn Mac (talk) 23:33, 29 May 2021 (UTC)

Egg Pokémon (Masters)

Hey there, I saw you had an issue with saving an edit here, I can retrieve the diff and re-save it for you to save you having to type it all up again, the issue was consecutive use of break tags, if you're going to use two of them in a row it's recommended instead you use a blank line between instead. Specifically, you had it when listing the Mon's that could use X-Speed. --Spriteit (talk) 01:26, 24 June 2021 (UTC)

Happy to help ^^.--Spriteit (talk) 01:45, 27 June 2021 (UTC)

"Core series of games"

Please refrain from using this phrase or replacing the term "core series games" with this phrase. We say "core series games" throughout the wiki. That is our style. Bulbapedia does not conform to Grammarly or any other particular style guide. Bulbapedia has its own style, and any changes to this style should at least be discussed with the community first, and almost always require approval from the Editorial Board. Thank you. Landfish7 06:53, 28 June 2022 (UTC)

(Clarification: You can use this phrase all you want on talk pages or on your user page, but do not add it to mainspace articles. We don't phrase it that way anywhere on the wiki. Whereas the phrase "core series games" is used in over 2,000 articles.) Landfish7 06:59, 28 June 2022 (UTC)

(Further clarification: Most minor stylistic disputes can be settled without involvement of staff or the Editorial Board, as long as you can reach an agreement or consensus, but changes to the overall style of Bulbapedia, or that affect a significant number of articles across the mainspace, may require staff approval or approval from one or more members of the Editorial Board.)

Editing comments

Please be advised that editing comments is against the talk page policy and can be disruptive, as someone responding to your comment may be required to rewrite what they were saying or incorporate it into the new version of the page. It also leaves the incorrect time stamp. Thank you. Landfish7 02:41, 3 August 2022 (UTC)
