Welcome to Bulbapedia, Monsterhart!

By creating your account you are now able to edit pages, join discussions, and expand the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia. Before you jump in, here are some ground rules:

  • Be nice to everyone. It's in the code of conduct.
  • Make good edits. Preview them before you save to make sure they're perfect the first time around.
  • Use wikicode and link templates when adding content to a page.
  • Use proper grammar and spelling, and read the manual of style.
  • You can't create a userpage until you've added to the encyclopedia. It's a privilege. See the userspace policy.
  • Use talk pages to resolve editing disputes. Don't "edit war," or constantly re-edit/undo the same thing on a page.
  • If you have a question about something, be proactive. Ask for help. The staff won't bite.
  • Sign all talk page posts with four tildes (~~~~). This will turn into your name and the time you wrote the comment.
  • For more handy links, see the welcome portal.
Thank you, and have a good time editing here!
 

The Preview Button

Instead of editing a page several times in a row, try using the preview button to make sure your edit looks the way you want it to. It's right next to the Save Changes button... Please try it out, so as not to clog up the Recent Changes. Thanks! --Werdnae (talk) 06:54, 20 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

A reminder, please use the preview button rather than saving the page a dozen times. Werdnae (talk) 19:29, 20 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

Also, could you finally keep that location in TM71 as [[Training Cavern]]? We don't have link templates for everything.----無限の知性DENNOUZENSHI 19:37, 20 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

Code of conduct

Personal attacks such as this are not appropriate. (Just in case: your subsequent alteration does not materially improve anything.) Please make sure you are familiar with our code of conduct and act accordingly.

(Also: please use the preview button. See above.)

It is NOT a personal attack, it is a genuine question which I later realized could be misconstrued as offensive and adjusted the wording to relay my question with more clarity. How is it an attack to ask what a persons intention is? It isn’t like I called him evil or anything, I asked if his intention behind a specific action was meant to be evil or not. I even specified that by evil I’m referring to the aspect of retrogression specifically. Even if his intention was purely for the sake of retrogression; which I no longer believe is the case; that doesn’t mean he is evil as a whole nor would I assume that he is. You are the only one making assumptions here.
So how would you go about asking someone if their purpose for continually undoing your improvements of a page has evil intent rather that practical intent? I am under the impression that intentionally harassing people and being malicious is against the code of conduct, and I felt that he was doing this but was attempting to open a dialogue with him to resolve the issue before reporting him. Do you not think what he was doing is wrong, or do you only reprimand people who try to resolve matters with words rather than immediately reporting the situation and praying the authority handles the situation? For the record we have resolved the situation on the page in question.
I do use the preview button... The above posts as you can see were from 8 years ago when I was new to the site and the edits to the message you quoted were made over significant periods of time, enough that I had finished and gone on to other things then had another thought on it and went back to make the change. Although on occasion the form submits while I’m in the middle of editing and I have to press the back button and continue my edit which makes it appear as a double edit also, and I cannot control that. However it is not a serious issue I think as it only happens maybe 1/6 of the time.
