This is the talk page for the Bulbapedia's front page. If you have a general comment about the wiki, please consider placing it in our forum.

Previous discussions

Route exploration requirements

As a continuation from the archived discussion, I'm going to incorporate the "Requirements to fully explore this area" as part of the route description on each article, instead of it having its own section. Taromon 12:01, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

brilliant idea. SpecialK Leiks Lucario and The Celebi Glitch 12:05, 13 February 2010 (UTC)
No, please do not. Most administers agreed against the case. If you want to write up a "Geography" or "Route description" section including HM/TM requirement, please do. But do not create a section for it.--Clarky13 14:04, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

Image of nothing?

I've noticed there's an image called File:None.png. It's just a blank white image, and in the summary it says, "Image of nothing". What's the point in it? Taromon 22:51, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

If it were perfectly square, it could be used better as a spacer... buuuuut no. TTEchidna 00:12, 14 February 2010 (UTC)
They're for the itemlist template for items that don't have any images (the Gen II berries for example).--ForceFire 00:28, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

valentine's day

since it's valentine's day tomorrow, could we make the main page luvdisc themed? or something? i think it would be cool. Empath-Silvio 23:54, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

Bulbapedia anniversary celebrations are your Valentine's present. TTEchidna 00:11, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

Main Page

This image of Erika with this Bulbasaur looks really odd. How about a better picture. I'd offer to make a new one. - unsigned comment from LucaLucario (talkcontribs)

WOW! This is different! But I do agree about the pic. Everything else, excellent! - Vhayes1992 12:33, 14 February 2010 (UTC)
Yeah, I agree. It fits but it looks a bit off. Did admins vote on this or something? --GEN1KING 14:31, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

The new theme

The new Bulbapedia theme is great, but there is a slight problem. The logo "Erika's Garden", and the links for Article, Discussion, Edit etc come up on top of the site content, making it virtually impossible to read the first few paragraphs of each article. Is this a minor glitch due to the theme being very new, or is it a problem with my computer/browser? I hope somebody can fix it soon, thanks! Taromon 12:51, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

Hm. Apparently the problem occures only in IE, it's perfectly fine on Firefox. Jio will have to take a look at it. In the meanwhile, we strongly suggest you try viewing Bulbapedia in Firefox and not IE, it looks much better there. --electAbuzzzz 13:01, 14 February 2010 (UTC)
I've got AOL 9.0, I could try that. Taromon 13:24, 14 February 2010 (UTC)
No, it's the same in AOL. Taromon 13:28, 14 February 2010 (UTC)
Then you should try Firefox. --♫♪Adyniz♪♫ 13:37, 14 February 2010 (UTC)
I would but my computer's hard drive is practically full, I really cannot download anything more. Taromon 13:43, 14 February 2010 (UTC)
Oh, okay. But it is better to use firefox because all the features of BulbaTrio works absolutely fine on it. Anyway, try to uninstall useless programs if you want free space. --♫♪Adyniz♪♫ 13:46, 14 February 2010 (UTC)
Believe me, I've tried everything to free up my hard drive! Anyway, this is going a little off-topic now. I would really appreciate it if you could make the new theme work on IE, but there's no rush, I'll be patient! Taromon 13:49, 14 February 2010 (UTC)
I hate this look and i don't have firefox. Personally, i think we should either revert back to the old look until it is fixed or have a thing like we do in the forums, choosing what display we have. SpecialK Leiks Lucario and The Celebi Glitch 16:56, 14 February 2010 (UTC)
Which version of Internet Explorer are you using? That may play a role in your problem; I'm using Internet Explorer 8, and everything on that skin's showing up just fine for me. --Shiningpikablu252 16:57, 14 February 2010 (UTC)
IE8 s well, and everything is OK except the main page and every talk page. SpecialK Leiks Lucario and The Celebi Glitch 17:04, 14 February 2010 (UTC)
Yeah, can you make it so that the buttons(article, discussion, ect.)aren't in the way? User:Crazylegs24
I'm using Internet Explorer 7, maybe that could be the root of the problem. I'm sure there's enough space on my hard drive to upgrade, it's not the same as downloading a whole new programme. Perhaps I'll have a go at that. Taromon 17:37, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

Hmm...

  • I'm wondering if there is a way to make Bulbapedia look like the old design. I liked it more. :( Raichu 17:19, 14 February 2010 (UTC)
My preferences → Skin → Monobook. 梅子 17:34, 14 February 2010 (UTC)
Hey, Bulbapedia is all messed up. Like I can't even welcome cause ther is text in they way. I like the design, but know i can't do anything. Mudkipluvr4ever 18:05, 14 February 2010 (UTC)
Then go HERE, choose the "skin" tab, and change it to Monobook until this can be figured out. 梅子 18:10, 14 February 2010 (UTC)
There's just one problem... the "Erika's Garden" logo is covering up the "Skins" option so it can't be changed. Taromon 18:13, 14 February 2010 (UTC)
Exactly, i can't change it! Mudkipluvr4ever 18:15, 14 February 2010 (UTC)
Maybe it's your computers. It's not covering it up for me. :V Tyro 18:17, 14 February 2010 (UTC)
Read the "The new theme" discussion above. Taromon 18:18, 14 February 2010 (UTC)
Okay, I know about Tyro's case. Hey Mudkiplu, which browser are you using? Well, I tried Opera, Chrome and Firefox, it is 1000% working fine on all of them. --♫♪Adyniz♪♫ 18:20, 14 February 2010 (UTC)
I use Internet explorer. I could try opera i guess. Mudkipluvr4ever 18:21, 14 February 2010 (UTC)
Taro is also using IE and he is facing the exact same problem. So, I guess the problem is in the internet explorer not bulbapedia. Try firfox or opera and then check whether it is working fine or not. --♫♪Adyniz♪♫ 18:24, 14 February 2010 (UTC)
It is working fine in Opera, but could you change it to work on Internet Explorer too? Mudkipluvr4ever 18:25, 14 February 2010 (UTC)
For those of you who are having problems changing the skin because the logo is in the way, I've just found a solution. Resize the internet window so that the "Skins" link goes below the logo. Then you can go to the Skins page and select Monobook. Hmm... Taro... I rather like that! Taromon 18:27, 14 February 2010 (UTC)
Bingo, I knew it. Anyway, sorry bud I am not an admin and I think only admins can fix this problem completely. --♫♪Adyniz♪♫ 18:31, 14 February 2010 (UTC)
Don't worry I can make do with Monobook for the time being. Um... we're starting to run out of space down here in the bottom right corner! Taromon 18:38, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

For me, the skin tab is totally missing. Is there something wrong? --LGT 01:56, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

I am not even seeing a new skin or anything. If I didn't see this discussion, I wouldn't know there was a new skin. I am using Chrome if that helps find my problem. Blake Talk·Edits 02:30, 15 February 2010 (UTC)
It's being worked on right now; if I'm not mistaken, the skins are currently disabled while it's fixed, so bear with it for a little while if you're still stuck with a buggy skin. (if you absolutely must edit now and you're seeing errors in the skin, download a browser that supports current CSS 2.0 standards, such as Firefox, Opera, or Safari. Internet Explorer is particularly notable for not maintaining web standards.) -- Jïörüjï Ðērākō.>.cнаt^ 02:34, 15 February 2010 (UTC)
The new theme of bulbapedia is looking too bad (if you ask me). Really, it doesn't suit to bulbapedia at all. Please, can you change it back? ♫♪AdyNiz♪♫ 09:37, 27 February 2010 (UTC)
Yeah the green and red/pink really doesn't even flow well, just looks so random, it was better the old way. insomniac 09:46, 27 February 2010 (UTC)
It's for one day, to celebrate the 14th birthday of Pokémon. --electAbuzzzz 12:39, 27 February 2010 (UTC)
No offence, but it could have been better if it was a bit yellowish which highlights the color of main Pokémon (just saying :D). --♫♪AdyNiz♪♫ 12:44, 27 February 2010 (UTC)
It's the anniversary of Pokémon Red and Green Versions. Hence, Red and Green. One day. --electAbuzzzz 12:49, 27 February 2010 (UTC)
Oh, then its cool (as it totally highlights red and green color). --♫♪AdyNiz♪♫ 12:55, 27 February 2010 (UTC)
Today is 1st March and celebration is over (I guess so). So, I think the theme should be changed now (it really looks odd on the main page but I think we can change it now as the anniversary is over). Thank you. ♫♪AdyNiz♪♫ 17:30, 1 March 2010 (UTC)

Featured Article

What happened to the featured article section? - unsigned comment from Missingno. Master (talkcontribs) 16:46, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

It isn't here because the Did You Know is here. If the DYK is here, the FA isn't here and vice-versa. Turtwig A (talk | contribs) 17:03, 16 February 2010 (UTC)
They switch every half month. MaverickNate 17:52, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

uhhhh... what?

I am using firefox, and Bulbapedia just looks like it used to. What did I miss? --GEN1KING 22:54, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

Its fifth anniversary has passed. Turtwig A (talk | contribs) 22:56, 16 February 2010 (UTC)
I wish that skin could last longer...--TobyTse 04:06, 19 February 2010 (UTC)
Wait, the skin was only for the fifth anniversary? - unsigned comment from Missingno. Master (talkcontribs) 21:19, 19 February 2010 (UTC)

Look at the above discussion, please. The skin was designed for the fifth anniversary, but it broke and we turned it off. That's why no one can see it now. Mmkay? —darklordtrom 21:25, 19 February 2010 (UTC)

It broke? I thought it just didn't work in Explorer. Taromon 14:38, 20 February 2010 (UTC)
Well that is the definition of "broken", but yes, that's not all that was going buggy with it. When things get completely ironed out, it'll make it back in as an optional skin, but I don't know when that will happen. The focus is on making the default skin look as good as possible right now. -- Jïörüjï Ðērākō.>.cнаt^ 18:07, 21 February 2010 (UTC)
And it looks great to me! Taromon 13:59, 22 February 2010 (UTC)

Countdown to HGSS Clock

The clock is mis-programmed. It's counting down to March 13th, at 11:00 PM.--Wikifixer 09:36, 22 February 2010 (UTC)

Are you sure? It's says 14th march for me.--ForceFire 10:16, 22 February 2010 (UTC)
It seems to be counting down to March 14th, 4am UTC. Now the thing is that while daylight sasvings time starts on the 14th in the US this year, I don't think it starts until 2am on the day itself. So really it needs to count down to 5am UTC, and mention that it's counting to Eastern Standard Time rather than Eastern Daylight Time. TheChrisD RantsEdits 12:23, 22 February 2010 (UTC)
The clock is counting down to midnight EDT. Not like most stores will be open and selling the games at that point, though. TTEchidna 00:45, 28 February 2010 (UTC)

Server Problem?

Hey guys, are you facing the same problem that I am facing? All the bulba sites (forum + archieves + news + pedia) aren't working properly. Is there any problem in main server? ♫♪AdyNiz♪♫ 13:34, 24 February 2010 (UTC)

Same, whats happening (2nd try at it(!) SpecialK Leiks Lucario and The Celebi Glitch 16:08, 24 February 2010 (UTC)
I keep on coming up to a page saying there's too many people connected at one time. - Vhayes1992 21:01, 24 February 2010 (UTC)
Its finally working (not perfectly but better than yesterday). --♫♪AdyNiz♪♫ 07:08, 25 February 2010 (UTC)
Yesterday and earlier today I couldn't access Bulbapedia, it said "Bulbapedia has a problem" and to try reloading in a few minutes (which didn't work). Bulbagarden Forums still worked fine though. Taromon 15:02, 25 February 2010 (UTC)

An idea for the anime location articles

I know, I know, I'm at it again! I was just wondering, would it be a good idea to have a list of the wild Pokémon which can be found in anime-only locations? There are many species of Pokémon that live in Alto Mare, for example. Taromon 19:50, 25 February 2010 (UTC)

I think no. That information wouldn't be used by anybody and it would be silly and just take up time. Blake Talk·Edits 22:56, 25 February 2010 (UTC)
Hmm... I had a feeling someone would say that. Perhaps I'll just mention wild Pokémon in the anime section (like in the Alto Mare article). Taromon 12:03, 26 February 2010 (UTC)
Pop them in the "In the anime" section of the article. Not as a template, just write a description.--Clarky13 09:34, 27 February 2010 (UTC)

I'm gonna take a wild guess...

...and say it's the anniversary of Red/Green. Correct? --GEN1KING 06:53, 28 February 2010 (UTC)

Yes yesterday was the 14 year anniversary of Pokemon since Red and Green were first released in Japan. I don't see why you need to add that to the talk page when you could have easily Googled it. insomniac 07:01, 28 February 2010 (UTC)
There's another website besides Google that could have given the answer. It's called Bulbapedia. Ever heard of it? 梅子 07:03, 28 February 2010 (UTC)
Sorry, just wondering... I just wanted to make sure, and even if I knew it was the annivesary, I wanted to know if the new skin for that day was official. Someone could have just said "Hahaha lolz hey doodz look what eye can doo! look, I maded da front page all prettyful!" You never know, what with all the idiots in the world. 'O course, it's protected (duh) but I didn't know that at the time of asking. --GEN1KING 04:54, 10 March 2010 (UTC)
Main Page and its constituent templates are protected against doofuses. TTEchidna 21:37, 13 March 2010 (UTC)

The "wanted articles" section needs updating!

I just started the wanted article "The Wobbuffet Village", only to find that the article already exists, under the title of "Wobbuffet Village". Taromon 19:35, 3 March 2010 (UTC)

I think The Wobbuffet Village is the title of a book, while Wobbuffet Village is the name of the place. Werdnae (talk) 02:05, 4 March 2010 (UTC)
The wanted pages list is cached. I think it updates every 24 hours. And yeah, Wobbuffet Village is the place, whereas The Wobbuffet Village is the Pokémon Jr. book. That should probably be disambig'd somehow... --ZestyCactus 02:14, 4 March 2010 (UTC)
Oh, I see! It's a bit misleading though, maybe there should be a note in brackets beside each link explaining exactly what the article should be about. Taromon 14:04, 4 March 2010 (UTC)

European Release

is there any chance that after this countdown ends, another for the European release begins? just so we all know how long we will have to wait... Empath-Silvio 12:25, 4 March 2010 (UTC)

Nah, do the Australian one, seeing as it's a day before the European one.--ポケモン恋人(チャット)(貢献) 04:16, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
It's a week and a half later, guys. We'll count down when you guys get it first. English coverage of HGSS happens as soon as we get the game. TTEchidna 04:20, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

WiKirby - Possible for the NIWA?

New wiki formed that I think will work for the Nintendo International Wiki Alliance? I am LuKirbio there. SpecialK Leiks Lucario and The Celebi Glitch 17:17, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

I think it has already been considered as I saw it on the NIWA forums thread for wikis to join the alliance, along with Metroid Wiki. Also, there is this. I'm Turtwig A there. ナエトル A or Turtwig A My talk and my contributions 00:33, 6 March 2010 (UTC)
Wikirby was made specifically for the reason that we made NIWA. MaverickNate 02:33, 6 March 2010 (UTC)
if you have a question about NIWA, just go to the NIWA forums. -- MAGNEDETH 02:34, 6 March 2010 (UTC)

Logging out

I keep getting automatically logged out. Just pointing it out... CuboneKing 02:10, 7 March 2010 (UTC)

Sounds like an issue with your browser possibly, unless a lot of other people are having the same issue. I haven't had any trouble yet.
If you're clearing out cookies at all, or cleaning your cache, it'll generally log you out, so double-check to make sure you're not accidentally deleting cookies or anything. -- Jïörüjï Ðērākō.>.cнаt^ 05:11, 7 March 2010 (UTC)

Unable to Save

Hey guys, I am facing this saving problem again. When ever I try to save an article (after editing it, offcourse) it always (most of the times) give me an error " Sorry! We could not process your edit due to a loss of session data. Please try again. If it still does not work, try logging out and logging back in. " This problem occurred a long time ago but then it was over. I am facing this problem since 5 days. Can you help me out in solving it? Thank you. ♫♪AdyNiz♪♫ 08:57, 7 March 2010 (UTC)

I have no idea, but remember, the main page talk page is not for general questions, it is on the subject of the front page itself. As for solving your problem, I would ask MAGNEDETH. He seems to be good at that stuff. --GEN1KING 04:59, 10 March 2010 (UTC)
Actually, I think it's appropriate to ask questions like these on the Main talk page, where else would he go? If you look at the other questions, some of them are technical issue questions as well. As for your problem Adyniz, if this happens a lot, it might just be a problem on your end. I get this error too sometimes. It could be due to the server issues others have mentioned on this page. Jello 05:08, 10 March 2010 (UTC)
I have this problem too, and deal with it be hitting the previous button to try again, until it is able to work. -Tyler53841 05:21, 10 March 2010 (UTC)
Genking, I asked this question here because this page is not only for the looks purpose (I think), you can see some previous topics related to technical problems and some general issues not regarding to front page which includes Logging out, Server Problem, Featured Article, Route exploration requirements, Upload error, Since when... and Page history etc (not counting the problems of previous archieves). So, I don't feel anything wrong in asking question here. So, is it server issue or there is something wrong with my net/browser/pc? Thank you. ♫♪AdyNiz♪♫ 11:40, 10 March 2010 (UTC)
This talk page is used for questions that involve the Pedia in a whole, which is why there are talk pages for specific questions about Pokémon, items, characters, and locations. And to answer your question Adyniz, they're working some stuff out with the servers, so it might be related, might not. R.A. Hunter Blade 14:00, 10 March 2010 (UTC)
Oh, Thanks. ♫♪AdyNiz♪♫ 16:46, 10 March 2010 (UTC)
Sorry, I just read the message at the top of the page and assumed. And yeah, this happened to me a few times recently, too. --GEN1KING 22:33, 10 March 2010 (UTC)

Upload error

I tried to upload a new version of Bonsly's artwork and it said that the file extension was corrupt. What does this mean and why won't it work? I called the file 438Bonsly.png and the original version is called Art-Bonsly.jpg, is this the cause of the problem? Taromon 16:39, 7 March 2010 (UTC)

Oh, I just realised a better image had already been uploaded. Added it to Bonsly's article. Taromon 16:44, 7 March 2010 (UTC)
Based from what I understood from what you said, I guess it's because pngs can only replace pngs; same for other formats. tc²₆tc26 16:50, 7 March 2010 (UTC)

Page history

I am having trouble viewing changes to pages. I can see everything in the page histories just fine, but it won't show the changes for some pages. A specific edit I can think of is this one. R.A. Hunter Blade 03:02, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

I've been having this issue too, although it went away when I went back to the history and clicked "compare" again. I have also been experiencing a glitch where instead of showing a preview the preview button takes you to a preview of a blank page with a blank editing window. Not sure if these are related.--Beligaronia (talk) 04:32, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
Found another one here. This one didn't go away afterward.--Beligaronia (talk) 04:40, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
Database glitches, I'd assume... might be related to the third server coming up. TTEchidna 05:44, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
Yes, this seems to happen on most articles for me too. OwnageMuch 05:18, 9 March 2010 (UTC)

Since when...

does Chuggaconroy count as recent news? I'm a big fan of his and all, it just seems irrelevant. --GEN1KING 05:04, 10 March 2010 (UTC)

Bulbagarden teamup with the Crystal LP. ▫▪Ťïňắ 05:09, 10 March 2010 (UTC)
I was thinking that myself too. An LP being affiliated with Bulbagarden really isn't all that big of a deal. It's certainly not all that newsworthy to spam up the Bulbanews RSS feed with (which rather annoyingly makes a new post in the feed anytime a news story's title is changed...) TheChrisD RantsEdits 13:16, 10 March 2010 (UTC)
The news feed isn't just for Pokémon News: it's for Bulbagarden news, too. And Bulbagarden is simply announcing their part of the team up.--Purimpopoie 13:34, 10 March 2010 (UTC)
If we didn't, then we'd get a bunch of questions about it. R.A. Hunter Blade 14:03, 10 March 2010 (UTC)

New theme?

May I ask, what's going on? Is the green background and everything new, or is my browser mucking up? Some pages have it, some don't, then the ones that do go back to the Wikipedia-style theme, then back to the green forum-like theme? I like the green, but I've never seen it. Thanks? たかはりい! 07:55, 13 March 2010 (UTC)

That was the theme used for the 5th anniversary of Bulbagarden a few weeks ago, it didn't work in Explorer apparently, so they removed it to fix it. Ugoz 09:28, 13 March 2010 (UTC)
And it is working now, I suppose.--TobyTse 12:54, 13 March 2010 (UTC)
Still doesn't work properly in Explorer, I'm sticking to Monobook... Taromon 13:10, 13 March 2010 (UTC)
Guys It Works for IE 8. Tested It. the Only Bug Being: Some Pages Have Green Theme, Some Have Wikipedia/White Theme.------ Ash's Infernape. I was a Chimchar, Then a Monferno, I hate Paul, I Love Ash, Myself Infernape. 13:31, 13 March 2010 (UTC)

Google Chrome has it up and running good enough with the same working on some pages and not on others. In particular, talk pages seem to have the old version. I decided to change the skin I'm using back to the old one. Turtwig A (talk | contribs) 14:33, 13 March 2010 (UTC)

It's still a little buggy on my end. - Vhayes1992 16:53, 13 March 2010 (UTC)
The switching back and forth between skins is probably not the skin itself, but server problems. Happens all the time with my custom skin- most of the time it displays correctly, but when stuff's getting tweaked it reverts to monobook temporarily. ▫▪Ťïňắ 17:07, 13 March 2010 (UTC)
Yeah, but is the theme really worth it? I know it looks great, but if it isn't consistent, I don't think it's worth it. --GEN1KING 17:09, 13 March 2010 (UTC)
Guys, If You Come Across Wikipedia Skin Then Refresh A Few Times... It may Work------ Ash's Infernape. I was a Chimchar, Then a Monferno, I hate Paul, I Love Ash, Myself Infernape. 17:15, 13 March 2010 (UTC)
Now, as much as I ♥ this theme, it's kinda getting in the way of pages - the "Erika's Garden" logo is blocking both some text on pages and the editing box (including the signature). At least that's what it's like for my computer..... --Trickyb 18:32, 13 March 2010 (UTC)
Yeah, it's still a little dodgy in Firefox 3.6, but hey, I like it =D たかはりい! 20:03, 13 March 2010 (UTC)
Also, should we reupload a newer version if this image with the new skin? たかはりい! 20:13, 13 March 2010 (UTC)

It would appear...

That after I previewed (yes, only previewed, didn't try) the new skin, Bulbapedia has been having trouble loading pages. It might be because so many people are using it, but I didn't have problems until after I previewed it. Not to mention we have a new server that shouldn't be slowing because of use... I'll try logging off then back in to see if that helps. R.A. Hunter Blade 20:30, 13 March 2010 (UTC)

the occasional errors are because we are getting some serious server use. the release (and leak) of HGSS have caused some serious server spike. -- MAGNEDETH 20:38, 13 March 2010 (UTC)
Even with the third server? I expected it to hold out...
But it's not even errors for me. It's just it'll take 30 seconds for some pages to load. It took nearly a minute to log me off earlier. R.A. Hunter Blade 20:52, 13 March 2010 (UTC)
High traffic. The servers can only send out so much data at once. TTEchidna 21:42, 13 March 2010 (UTC)

Slowpedia?

This is about the error nonsense isn't it? --@PrL F0oLz!!! (This Message Is True Though) Landfish7 02:05, 1 April 2010 (UTC)

May be, but it's really a cute theme. ♫♪AdyNiz♪♫ 02:11, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
Well it's better than turning the whole wiki into a Digimon Fan-site. <.< *cough*Dogasu's Backpack*cough* >.> =P --Theryguy512 02:13, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
AHAHAHAHA! It's funny because it is slow! HA! --GEN1KING 03:17, 1 April 2010 (UTC)

Am I The Only One?

Hey, earlier this evening did anyone notice the headline "May CoroCoro announces Gen V Starters and Mawille Evolution"... I don't think I was the only one seeing as a bunch of people use "Slowpedia" But seriously did anyone else see this? I even posted on Giancarlopariomango11's wall on YouTube about this but some guy said to stop spamming. And now that its been removed from the site completely there is no proof that I wasn't lying... Did anyone else see it? - unsigned comment from ScizorZ (talkcontribs)

This is all a dream. You're just hallucinating. Go back to bed. ▫▪Ťïňắ 03:34, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
No you weren't seeing things. It was up, but deleted twice, as it still showed up in my feed reader. It's a damn pity that feed only gives the headline, otherwise I could've seen the rest of the story :/ TheChrisD RantsEdits 10:13, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
Guys it was an April Fools fake news story but it ended up being deleted because it was agreed that we wouldn't do that. --@PrL F0oLz!!! (This Message Is True Though) Landfish7 12:23, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
This is probably why Bulbanews shouldn't publish new stories to the RSS feed of the forums for a couple of hours after creation, or at least until an admin clears it. Every time the story's title is changed, Google Reader counts it as a new item... Or if a story is deleted quickly after creation it didn't get published.

Skins Tab
