Link Templates

Please use link templates when linking to stuff such as Pokémon names, attacks, and the like. For example, {{P|Munchlax}} instead of just [[Munchlax]]. This is so you don't unintentionally link to a disambiguation page.

For a full crash course on link templates, look at the list of link templates. --Chocolate (Chat with Me) 03:04, 28 December 2008 (UTC)Reply

Hi there. In future, link to a "Version" game with templates {{game}} or {{v}}, instead of {{g}} because that gives us a redirect page, when we could just as easily use the correct template. Nice piece of trivia there, by the way. Thanks. — THE TROM11:18, 31 May 2009 (UTC)Reply

You've been around here a far bit

But one or so things you gotta know.

  1. Pokémon. Capital P and an accented e. You've been doing this right, but sometime don't capitalize the P.
  2. Link Templates. Like the people above said, use them. Type {{a|Magic Guard}} instead of [[Magic Guard]]
  3. Its vs It's. It's is the contraction of It is, while its is the possesive. For eg. "Marowak uses its bone to attack other Pokémon."
