Welcome to Bulbapedia, HygorBH!

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. Take a look at our FAQ. If you're still stuck, 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 Page button. Please try it out, so as not to clog up the Recent Changes. Also, if you want to edit multiple sections of the page, make sure that you click "edit this page" at the top of the page rather than editing it by section. Thanks! --Pumpkinking0192 (talk) 20:34, 1 November 2017 (UTC)

Link templates

Hi there! I've noticed you haven't been using link templates in several of your recent edits, so in case you aren't aware of them, I wanted to explain them to ensure you are. Link templates are basically a way to save space so you don't have to type as much and our pages' code doesn't have to be as cluttered, making it easier to read. The most useful ones are {{p|something}}, {{m|something}}, and {{a|something}}, which are respectively the equivalent of typing out [[Something (Pokémon)|something]], [[Something (move)|something]], and [[Something (Ability)|something]]. So, for example, in your recent edit to DP118, you typed [[Super Luck (Ability)|Super Luck]], which would have been better as simply {{a|Super Luck}}. We have a lot of link templates, and you can find the list here. Thanks for your understanding! Pumpkinking0192 (talk) 17:59, 3 November 2017 (UTC)
