User talk:PIKA23

Welcome

Welcome to Bulbapedia, PIKA23!

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 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. 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.
• 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. You will have to register separately for it, as well. This is done so that both Bulbapedia and Bulbanews have access to the images uploaded.
• If you want to make a page about a character you made up, please create it at User:PIKA23/(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! -- MAGNEDETH 20:38, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

Talk Page Comments

Please don't erase talk page comments for no reason. Trust me, you do NOT want to end up like Big Johnno, who got into an edit war with a sysop over comments the former had erased on his user talk page and was trying to keep erased. That user ended up blocked and subsequently had all erased comments restored. --Shiningpikablu252 20:30, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

Preview Button

Please use it. Force Fire 06:52, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

For crying out loud, use the bloody preview button. You did 7 edits when it could have been done in 1. Glinn Mgraw 07:26, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

How to make a userpage...

Well, flat out, right now you can't. User space edits are restricted at the present, but will be brought back soon. Also, your signature is accessed with four tildes (~~~~), and your username is PIKA23, not pika23, so your userpage will be at User:PIKA23, not User:pika23. Make sure to link right, as article titles (even in alternate namespaces!) are case-sensitive except for the first letter (example: User:tTEchidna exists, because the first T doesn't matter, but User:ttechidna doesn't, because I have the second T and E capitalized. Got it? TTEchidna 09:05, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

Chapa

Please don't go creating articles about your personal creations in the main namespace. Such creations are not notable, are deleted quickly, and would be a better fit at User:PIKA23/Chapa.

The User namespace was reopened in late July, so you've got nothing to fear. --Shiningpikablu252 01:22, 7 September 2008 (UTC)

Chatra,Chataa, whatever

DO NOT put your fanfic here it's not good here and DO NOT put it on the Main Space.--☆Coolピカチュウ! 01:23, 7 September 2008 (UTC)

Take it from someone who used to have oen.ITS PO's the ADMINS!--DCM_{((TalkContributions))}

Please

Slow down on editing the User: namespace. Editing your userpage too much will lead to it being locked again. Instead of making multiple small edits, why not instead use the preview button (Alt + Shift + P) to check your edits before saving the page? Thank you. --Porygon-Z 02:17, 7 September 2008 (UTC)

That doesn't mean make more. Porygon-Z 02:46, 7 September 2008 (UTC)

Listen to the rules, or Chuck Norris will scare you in your closet!--☆Tavisource 02:48, 7 September 2008 (UTC)

Why should I talk stupid? And are you done editing your user page?--☆Tavisource 03:02, 7 September 2008 (UTC)
