Welcome
Welcome to Bulbapedia, Noname!
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.
- The manual of style is very important. Make sure to read it. It outlines all official policies of Bulbapedia.
- The word Pokémon is spelled with a capital P and an accented é. The P, of course, is accessed easily by holding Shift and pressing the P key, while the é can be accessed using Alt + 130 or Alt + 0233 on a Windows computer, and Option + e, then e again on a Mac. Otherwise, you can 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 captial B (which is, again, accessed by holding Shift and pressing the B key). 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 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. For an explanation on their use, see the page on shortlinks.
- 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.
- If you want to make a page about a character you made up, please create it at User:Noname/(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.
- 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!--Theryguy512 21:36, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
Spellings
Although it's not all that important, try to use American spellings whenever possible, i.e. "honor" instead of "honour," "color" instead of "colour," etc.. Thanks! --ニョロトノ666 18:11, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
Geeze, I make one spelling mistake and you jump down my throat. Noname
- I wasn't "jumping down your throat." In fact, I usually try to be exceptionally diplomatic. In any case, I'm sorry it felt that way to you. --ニョロトノ666 18:24, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
Opinions
Since I can't edit my own page, I've desided to put my opinions here. This will be edited whenever I think of something.
- To all Anti-cloners: Cloning is a good thing. No Cloning = No Mewtwo :O
Signature
this isnt a forum. a signature here is simply your name. it is not customary to add words or phrases after your name. -- MAGNEDETH 21:09, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
But there is nothing against it. And my signiture is simply my name. Noname
- yes, but theres no reason to add words after your name. it makes it look like youre talking in the third person. why do you need to add words after your name? besides, you sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~) which in turn adds the date and time, which is mandatory. -- MAGNEDETH 21:18, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
Mandatory huh? Well that's new. Would you mind me asking why? Just three tildes is less cluttery, and if you really need to know the date and time you can check the history. Noname
