Hi

I noticed you have been editing the User: namespace a lot recently. You may not be aware of this, but Bulbapedia has a Userspace policy that asks users to try and minimize the number of userspace edits they make in a short period of time. Heavy editing of these personal pages can put undue stress on the server, so please leave your page alone for now and go help out in the mainspace. Bulbapedia is an encyclopedia, after all, so please help us to complete it! If you edit the mainspace more often, you will be allowed to edit your userpage more often too. Thanks! ---- MAGNEDETH 17:31, 19 January 2010 (UTC)

Hey, I'm sorry about any unintentional stress I may have caused to the server, but I'm trying to get the swing of things here rather than mess up a load of other pages. I've used Wikis before, but nothing too advanced. I'll hold off from the continuous minor edits from here on out, but I'm still good to preview edits, right? and am I okay to use the Sandbox feature if I want to mess around with tables, layout etc.?

well, you just gotta lay off the User: namespace. minor edits are ok, but its not beneficial to the site if all you do is make your own page look good. if youre not familiar with namespaces, check out our namespace explanation page. -- MAGNEDETH 17:44, 19 January 2010 (UTC)

I noticed you joined the fandom project

If you could, would you mind creating some of the project's needed articles listed here? It might help with revamping articles if they all existed... ^Maverick_Nate 20:14, 19 January 2010 (UTC)

Sure thing chief, I've got a few exams in the next few days though so I'll get started later in the week. I know enough about PPN and Razor Raven to start off those articles, but given I'm a veteran of GTS Plus [1] and GPX Plus [2] I'd be able to create comprehensive articles on both of those. Would those four be okay? I'm still unsure whether popularity beats affiliation in these situations though, I can't imagine how big this project would become if we covered every fan-site Emp 20:29, 19 January 2010 (UTC)

Signature Linking

Please link your username in your signature as [[User:Emp|Emp]] or {{u|Emp}}, NOT as [[Emp|User:Emp]]. Doing it the last way adds your username as an unwanted link on our wanted pages, something that's frowned upon here. --Shiningpikablu252 18:28, 20 January 2010 (UTC)
