Creating a BulbaPedia Page

How to create a new page

In order to create a BulbaPedia page, you must type in the address bar the following: http://www.bulbagarden.net/pedia/

After the pedia/, you can type in the title of the page you would like to create. This, in turn, will bring you to that page, where it will say that there is no text. The "edit" tab may be pressed, at which time you may edit the page to add text.

Examples

For instance, to create a BulbaPedia page about DVs, I would type in my address bar: http://www.bulbagarden.net/pedia/DVs , and then proceed to edit that page.

For something with two words, for instance Pallet Town, it would be http://www.bulbagarden.net/pedia/Pallet_Town

Things to remember

Please note that for spaces you must use an underscore ( _ ) and that all BulbaPedia pages not beginning with a number will have the first letter capitalized. i.e., if you were to write ...pedia/gold_version in the browser bar, it would display as 'Gold version' in the page display. Note that the v in 'version' would NOT be capitalized unless specified.

Apostraphes will work in the link, i.e. http://www.bulbagarden.net/pedia/Bulbagarden's_History . However, it's advisable to avoid using apostraphes, as it generally can be avoided.
