Welcome to Bulbapedia, Blastoiseboy19!

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. 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! ----Carmen (Talk | contribs) 21:06, 3 May 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, sorry 'bout that. I hazzez my aspects of noobiness, still figuring things out (including links) Thank you.♪~Blastoiseboy19 21:20, 3 May 2011 (UTC)

Talk pages

Try not to edit the messages that people have written on talk pages (as you did to User talk:MAGNEDETH). It's their own personal message; if they've spelled something wrong and look stupid then that's their own fault ;) This is actually part of Bulbapedia's talk page policy. —darklordtrom 21:33, 5 May 2011 (UTC)

Oops, sorry. Still learning a ton about wikis.~Blastoiseboy19 22:06, 5 May 2011 (UTC)
Not a problem. If you have any questions, check the FAQ or Welcome; failing that, ask anyone who seems to know what they're doing :D —darklordtrom 22:17, 5 May 2011 (UTC)
Speaking of asking anyone who knows, can you tell me how to edit usertags and/or signatures? I know that Bulbapedia isn't a social network, but I just can't stand not having personalization. Thanks. ~Blastoiseboy19 22:28, 5 May 2011 (UTC)
You edit your signature in your preferences and you don't get usertags until you've edited the mainspace a bit. The pages Bulbapedia:Signature policy, Bulbapedia:Usertag policy, and Bulbapedia:Userspace policy will provide more information. If any of those are unclear, let me know. —darklordtrom 22:36, 5 May 2011 (UTC)
