Hi! If you're editing multiple sections on the same article, rather then edit the section individually, you can click "edit this page" at the top and edit the whole article at once and modify multiple sections all in one go. This makes it easier for you since you don't have to do so many edits to one page as well as relieves stress on our servers. Thank you and hope you continue to enjoy contributing to Bulbapedia!

I'm not really sure what you're trying to do with the item sections, but I do not believe it is good to mix GSC and HGSS items among each other.

The way you edited it, users will ''always'' have to pay close attention to each item entry; but the way it was, users can take a quick glance at the games column and know that all the top or bottom items are for GSC or HGSS, and focus wherever they're playing.
It would be great if you would keep this in mind when you try to edit future Johto (or Kanto) sections. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 16:17, 5 June 2014 (UTC)

Welcome to Bulbapedia, Sadist4life!

By creating your account you are now able to edit pages, join discussions, and expand the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia. Before you jump in, here are some ground rules:

  • Be nice to everyone. It's in the code of conduct.
  • Make good edits. Preview them before you save to make sure they're perfect the first time around.
  • Use wikicode and link templates when adding content to a page.
  • Use proper grammar and spelling, and read the manual of style.
  • You can't create a userpage until you've added to the encyclopedia. It's a privilege. See the userspace policy.
  • Use talk pages to resolve editing disputes. Don't "edit war," or constantly re-edit/undo the same thing on a page.
  • If you have a question about something, be proactive. Take a look at our FAQ. If you're still stuck, ask for help. The staff won't bite.
  • Sign all talk page posts with four tildes (~~~~). This will turn into your name and the time you wrote the comment.
  • For more handy links, see the welcome portal.
Thank you, and have a good time editing here!

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 Changes button. Please try it out, so as not to clog up the Recent Changes. Thanks! --Jo the Marten ಠ_ಠ 15:44, 4 August 2013 (UTC)

Multiple sections

Hi! If you're editing multiple sections on the same article, rather then edit the section individually, you can click "edit this page" at the top and edit the whole article at once and modify multiple sections all in one go. This makes it easier for you since you don't have to do so many edits to one page as well as relieves stress on our servers. Thank you and hope you continue to enjoy contributing to Bulbapedia! --ZestyCactus 17:21, 4 August 2013 (UTC)

Johto items

I'm not really sure what you're trying to do with the item sections, but I do not believe it is good to mix GSC and HGSS items among each other. That is, ideally IMO, all GSC items should come first in the Items list, and (new to) HGSS items should only come after that. Johto Route 32 is a great example of this. Before your edit, all the GSC items were at the top; after your edit, they were all over the place. The way you edited it, users will always have to pay close attention to each item entry; but the way it was, users can take a quick glance at the games column and know that all the top or bottom items are for GSC or HGSS, and focus wherever they're playing.

It would be great if you would keep this in mind when you try to edit future Johto (or Kanto) sections. Tiddlywinks (talk) 16:17, 5 June 2014 (UTC)
