Link templates

Please utilize link templates when linking to other articles on Bulbapedia, especially related to moves, Pokémon species, abilities, etc. See the list of link templates on how to use the common ones. I had to fix two of your edits to trivia you added. An example would be {{a|Levitate}} instead of [[Levitate]]. Why not go through your contributions list and fix your edits? Thanks! --rock ersk 08 03:05, 15 November 2010 (UTC)

Ampersand

Hi Vuvuzela. Please use the word 'and' rather than an ampersand (&) in most cases. The only exceptions should be in titles such as "the Diamond & Pearl series". (Referring to this edit.) —darklordtrom 06:32, 8 December 2010 (UTC)

OK, will do that from now on. XVuvuzela2010X 07:06, 8 December 2010 (UTC)

Oops

Uhhh, it didn't say grass before.--Muk-a-matic-Maketh the Muk go round... 17:28, 17 December 2010 (UTC)

Diurnal

You know, the page doesn't need to be deleted. You can just create your page there now. --SnorlaxMonster 12:56, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

Oh wait, I see. You have a page in your userspace to move there. --SnorlaxMonster 12:57, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, I thought my page would need to be moved rather than just copied to keep the edit history intact. XVuvuzela2010X 13:01, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

Imma leave it to you to correct the links. I'm too tired, and need to sleep right now. --SnorlaxMonster 14:00, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

Sig

Can you make me a sig? and can it look like this? http://www.ssbwiki.com/SmashWiki_talk:Sandbox its right at the bottom mesuxelf 15:54, 13 February 2011 (UTC)

Is this OK?

Mesprit, Uxie, Azelf. Mesuxelf

If you want a list of colour codes, they have them on Wikipedia.

If you need it made differently or something, you should reply to my forum page, as while I am fine, the admins don't really like this kind of discussion on the wiki. :( XVuvuzela2010X 19:40, 13 February 2011 (UTC)

Bonsly

What is the justification for creating a Generation III learnset for Bonsly if it didn't exist in Generation III? --rock ersk 08 17:21, 15 February 2011 (UTC)

Because Bonsly does exist in Gen III. XVuvuzela2010X 17:24, 15 February 2011 (UTC)

Okay, so it does. Perhaps what I get for not playing games outside the main. But it isn't catchable in that game. This would also mean that Muchlax would have to get a Generation III page. I'm sure the learnset pages correspond to their official generation debut, thus those pages are not needed, but a reference could be made. Either way, you should at least speak with a higher-up staff member to be safe. --rock ersk 08 17:30, 15 February 2011 (UTC)

Munchlax is different. Although they both have index numbers, Munchlax was never programmed to be used in battle, and has no box sprite, menu sprite, pc animation, or 3d battle model, and thus is completely impossible to use in battle, and if you try, the game freezes. Bonsly on the other hand, has all of the above, and is essentially just the 387th Pokemon. XVuvuzela2010X 17:36, 15 February 2011 (UTC)

Large scale editing

Where should I start. Reverse holos. That category is pointless, as EVERY card since Legendary Collection has been released as reverse holofoil. a category for 90% of like 6000 pages is not something that should be done. A note can easily be added onto the holographic page. Secondly, your trivias over different resistances and weaknesses. Vibrava, Lati@s, Flygon, Venomoth, and Beedrill: your trivias over resistance are easily explained by in-game weakness and resistance. The simpler of two viable explanations is always the right one. That's a world known fact about how things work. Large scale projects, especially category based need to be proposed to a Senior Admin or higher, as well as the project leader. Also, your JA rights are on a temporary basis, and they can and will be removed at any time if there are problems with your editing habits. Just thought I should warn you. ^Maverick _Nate 09:07, 7 April 2011 (UTC)

The only TCG Weakness/Resistance related edit I have made recently is the one to the Colorless (TCG) page, about the resistances the Dragon types have during the EX series. I forgot about the ones you mentioned, since they were made at the end of January, though I apologise as I should have remembered to revert them at the time.

As for the category for reverse holos, it was obviously intended for "proper" reverse holos (e.g Southern Islands), not the ones found in booster packs. I didn't think I would need to run it by an admin due to the limited number of those cards.

And as for adding the Category:Holographic cards, (like to Dark Slowbro and Metal Energy), I thought that would be fine too, seeing as almost every other card that is holographic is included in that category, though I presume reverting this was just a mistake. XVuvuzela2010X 14:56, 7 April 2011 (UTC)

Also in addition to Dark Slowbro and Metal Energy, there was also Mew, Meowth, Eevee, Captain Pikachu, Professor Oak's Visit, Roseanne's Research, Armor Fossil, Skull Fossil, Darkness Energy, Machamp, Smeargle, Championship Arena, Pokémon Illustrator, Hungry Snorlax, and Mew, Vileplume, Togepi, Ledyba, Marill, Slowking, Pichu. All of these are holographic or were later released as a holographic card (promotional), so I added the Holographic cards category, (lthe latter ones had it before they were replaced with the reverse holographic cards category) but by reverting all edits to these pages it was removed. Just thought it would be best to note incase it was a mistake since there were quite a few. XVuvuzela2010X 11:41, 8 April 2011 (UTC)

Switches request

I hope you don't mind me requesting something. ^^; You know how to do switches, right? I have no idea how to do them, and the Wormadam page needs one really badly. Do you think you could do that? Littlmiget123 21:16, 17 May 2011 (UTC)

Of course I don't mind. I can start on it tomorrow (I've been working for nearly 12 hours, so I'm knackered, and need my bed). Is there any particular time you want the switch to switch? (like every hour, day, etc.). I could probably do one for Burmy too. XVuvuzela2010X 20:47, 18 May 2011 (UTC)

Great! ^^ The time doesn't matter. How often do the other pages (Cherrim, Castform, etc) switch? Yeah, Burmy could be done as well, if you don't mind. ^^ Thanks so much! :D Littlmiget123 21:14, 18 May 2011 (UTC)

Burmy and Wormadam already switch... Every day to be exact.--Mister E 13 22:15, 18 May 2011 (UTC)

The anime pictures also need to switch depending on the type that's showing. Littlmiget123 22:22, 18 May 2011 (UTC)

Wormadam's done but Burmy only has the one picture.--Mister E 13 22:32, 18 May 2011 (UTC)

Only Plant Cloak Burmy appeared in the anime, so that explains that. XP Thank you very much MisterE. ^^ Littlmiget123 23:00, 18 May 2011 (UTC)

No problem :) *Stops spamming someone elses Talk Page*.--Mister E 13 23:04, 18 May 2011 (UTC)

Tsk Tsk

Never use userspace templates in the mainspace. They have to actually be approved and moved before they are used. ^Maverick _Nate 20:10, 4 June 2011 (UTC)

Whoops, I didnt relise. Any idea when they will be moved (I was going to re-edit once it was approved)? XVuvuzela2010X 20:14, 4 June 2011 (UTC)

First, you should make a test page as the talk page for one of them, showing all the different switch outcomes and subtemplates. Then ask an admin about it. We'll likely discuss it privately and leave some time for other people to comment on the test page. No template should be moved from the userspace to the templatespace until it has been thoroughly tested. Werdnae (talk) 20:28, 4 June 2011 (UTC)

Well, each one would only be used on the pages of their respective Pokemon and its relatives, like Nincada's evobox template. So they would always look pretty much the same. - unsigned comment from Vuvuzela2010 (talk • contribs)

You need to test each of your new templates, to double/triple check that it works as you think it does, and show us that it does. Even something as simple as changing the outcomes of a switch statement can cause it to stop working completely. It's not so much a matter of us knowing what it will look like, it's a matter of making sure that you haven't accidentally broken something. The discussions us admins will have (privately or otherwise) will be on the concept, as well as the design. Werdnae (talk) 06:32, 5 June 2011 (UTC)

There isnt any switch involved, but I'll try and test it anyway. Though they were tested earlier on the pages they were meant to be on, if you want to have a look (Nidoran♀, Nidorina, Nidoqueen, Nidoran♂, Nidorino, Nidoking, Volbeat, Illumise, Latias and Latios). Also, the talk page for Nidoran♀ has the template already. XVuvuzela2010X 10:36, 5 June 2011 (UTC)

Was that really so hard? I'll bring it up with the other admins. No promise on a quick decision. Werdnae (talk) 22:12, 5 June 2011 (UTC)

Right, so that's what you meant by making a talk page (embarrasing). XVuvuzela2010X 22:35, 5 June 2011 (UTC)

Roughly how long do you mean? I know these things take time, but obviously I don't want it dragging on for months on end. XVuvuzela2010X 23:15, 5 June 2011 (UTC)

Sorry about the delay. Staff I've talked to think that it has value, but it needs to be presented more clearly, and only for the ones that can actually produce eggs (i.e. No Lati@s). Werdnae (talk) 00:28, 20 June 2011 (UTC)

Ok, so can the Lati one just get deleted then? To be honest, I don't really know what I'm doing with the Nido one. I don't think there would be any point in showing the other gender's evolutions, for example Nidorino & Nidoking on Nidoqueen's page (since these are not shown on any other branched-evo page, for example Wormadam's), but I dont know what I need to edit in my template first. XVuvuzela2010X 02:26, 20 June 2011 (UTC)

Warnings

When a user does something this wrong, it's best to leave them a message. This user should at the very least be warned about the preview button, and also about the current trivia rule. -- MAG NE DETH 22:13, 10 June 2011 (UTC)

Yeah I wasn't really sure whether that would be major enough for a warning, since although laughable, it seemed to be in good faith. Plus I would have thought it would be generally reserved for Admins to warn another user. XVuvuzela2010X 22:21, 10 June 2011 (UTC)

Anyone can give a warning (though it is preferred more seasoned users do it than newbies), and the warning itself can vary in severity. Although a user in good faith, they still may do something wrong. So in turn, a polite warning would be best. Consider it more of a teaching than a warning. -- MAG NE DETH 20:20, 11 June 2011 (UTC)

Neo Premium Files

Unfortunately,the correct name of them is the other way around. We used "Neo 2 Premium File" before we started directing time and effort towards correcting all the Japanese release names. Nuva-kal had gone around to some of the cards and corrected them to "Neo Premium File 2", but it was not publicly known that this was going on. (They are the Neo Premium Files 1, 2, and 3 if you have an urge to fix them). Thanks for taking the effort to fix something you noticed was inconsistent; it just happened to be a confusing mess when you tried. ^Maverick _Nate 03:31, 14 June 2011 (UTC)

Sorry about that, I noticed that all the relevant Pokemon (TCG) pages all linked to the Neo 2 Premium File, so I just assumed that was the correct one. I'll go and fix them. Also, one thing I want to ask, some of the card pages link to a (currently non existing) Neo Premium File 2 category, yet not to the Neo Premium File category. What should I do about these? XVuvuzela2010X 03:45, 14 June 2011 (UTC)

The only categories used should be Category:Neo Premium File 1 cards, Category:Neo Premium File 2 cards, and Category:Neo Premium File 3 cards. The other one should be phased out and tagged for deletion. ^Maverick _Nate 03:55, 14 June 2011 (UTC)

The Point?

There wasn't one. But that pic of dolly looked so inviting on the bulbanews page... haha ^Sui _Scorpio 09:42, 28 June 2011 (UTC)

Native

I'm pretty sure the word native here is used to describe the first region in which the Pokémon were introduced. ^Maverick _Nate 22:09, 6 July 2011 (UTC)

Fair enough, I've not actually seen this episode, it just looked a bit weird the way it was written. XVuvuzela2010X 22:24, 6 July 2011 (UTC)

About the edit you reverted...

The article for Pokémon Black and White says, and I quote: "While Volbeat and Illumise are only available in the wild in Black and White respectively, Illumise can breed with any male Pokémon in the Bug egg group, Human-Like egg group or Ditto to produce eggs that have an 50% chance of hatching into Volbeat. However, breeding Volbeat with Ditto will not produce Illumise eggs."

I added Volbeat in there because Illumise was in there.
~~LDE JRuff~~ 6:52, 8 July, 2011 (EDT)

Sorry if it seemed like I was snapping at you at the time, but there have been a lot of people adding Volbeat to that page. And it turns out that in Gen V Volbeat can now produce Illumise eggs, so Illumise has also been removed and the trivia point about Volbeat and Illumise has now been updated. XVuvuzela2010X 11:16, 8 July 2011 (UTC)

You beat me to it =D

I started deleting the aforementioned things because they were once fully evolved. Then I saw the special abilities of Togetic and Seadra in their respected articles, and had to log out before I could make the edits. And yes, Venonat and Remoraid are exceptions.

No problems in my side, you? Also, why not reword and state "Since it was once a fully evolved Pokemon, ---------- can learn Hyper Beam and Giga Impact". Wall of text, lol. ~ Blitzamirin ~ 23:04, 23 July 2011 (UTC)

I'm not sure if that should be stated, as while it is true of in-game data, canonically, those Pokemon have never been fully evolved. An example is M12, where Probopass appears 1000 years in the past. Though if you want to add it, I won't remove it or anything. And I'm not having any problems over here, thanks for asking though. :) XVuvuzela2010X 23:21, 23 July 2011 (UTC)

Nah, now that I see them, they don't need edits. You edited them to fit better. Well done. ~ Blitzamirin ~ 23:44, 23 July 2011 (UTC)
