User talk:Herbizarre

Welcome to Bulbapedia, Herbizarre!

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!   ForceFire 05:12, 16 December 2019 (UTC)

Origins

Please do not use definite wording (X is based off, X is likely based off) unless you have an official source to back up your claim. Otherwise use terms like "may be" instead, regardless of how obvious the origin is. Thank you.--ForceFire 05:32, 16 December 2019 (UTC)

Also, keep the sections confined to information on the species only, not generalize it like you did with the Galar Fossils Pokémon. GrammarFreak01 (talk) 08:38, 16 December 2019 (UTC)

Copyrighted characters

Please don't add copyrighted characters as possible origins for Pokemon, unless there is official confirmation that it is the case. Thank you.--ForceFire 05:33, 20 December 2019 (UTC)

Linking

A few things about linking

1. If something has been linked once in a section, it does not need to be linked again.
2. Not every word needs to be linked. Everyone knows what a hero is and everyone knows what a dragon is. Linking in the origin sections should only be for things that a common person wouldn't have knowledge on.
3. Don't link like this: {{wp|Parental care|parental care}}. The second parser isn't needed. The link will still go to the intended article regardless of the first word not being capitalized.
4. To link plurals, just add an s to the end of the template, like this: {{wp|amphibian}}s. That should turn out like this: amphibians.

Thank you.--ForceFire 04:19, 22 December 2019 (UTC)
