User talk:Shanegon34

Welcome

Welcome to Bulbapedia, Shanegon34!

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:Shanegon34/(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! --Takoto タコト| サソデイ = 愛 14:44, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

Preview button

Try it out. --ニョロトノ666 00:01, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

looks like youve been told before, may i suggest following his suggestion? -- MAGNEDETH 00:14, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

I honestly do not know what you are saying. I am sorry for my stupidity. Is it about my userpage? shanegon34 00:20, 23 September 2008 (UTC)Shanegon34

When you hit edit.next to it is a button that says Show Previes.Use it.--DCM_{((TalkContributions))}

I do use it. Is it about my continuous editting? I made a huge edit before and then accidently exitted out. I used that method as a precaution if I were to do it again. I will not use that any more if it is disruptive. shanegon34 00:22, 23 September 2008 (UTC)Shanegon34

use the preview buton.If you can help it, then use it.If you do a hufe edit, and notice something wrong, then its ok--DCM_{((TalkContributions))}

well, repetitive editing clogs up the recent changes. your best bet is to edit the page onece, vie the edit button at the top. when you click "Save Page" right next to it is "Show Preview" and it shows what youve done, and allows you to edit it still. sorry about the confusion. -- MAGNEDETH 00:25, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

Another thing you can do is save your work in something like a word document, so that you don't lose it, but don't clog up the RCs and server with a lot of little changes. --((Marton imos)) 00:37, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

Hmm good suggestion. I will try to do that from now on. shanegon34 00:42, 23 September 2008 (UTC)Shanegon34

so, btw, are you a member of the dev team for Poke Global? -- MAGNEDETH 00:53, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

Yes, Latias. believe it or not, I am the lead wiki edittor. Kinda ironic. shanegon34 00:57, 23 September 2008 (UTC)Shanegon34

oh, nifty. i figured no one would attack a page like that unless they worked for them. anyway, welcome to the site and sorry for the bumpy start here ^^^. -- MAGNEDETH 00:59, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

It's ok. I am not used to such a big wiki. Sienide had started this and Fshy94 made it my top priority.shanegon34 01:02, 23 September 2008 (UTC)Shanegon34

You guys are probably going to scold me again. =/ (Anyway, Can I make it so uploading mapping things do not show on the recent changes?)shanegon34 20:34, 23 September 2008 (UTC)Shanegon34

Not that I know of. ht14 21:45, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

Advertising

It's mostly nice what you're doing for the page on Pokémon Global, but that last edit you made was just too close to an advertisement for this wiki. Instead of making the section a "how-to," make it a "what it is." Merely informative, not "we'd love to have you." --ニョロトノ666 21:44, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

Hm, I guess that could be taken like that. Wasn't trying to advertise. =D Hmm, would just having the mapping tutorial in there and giving info on the mappers be alright?
