User talk:48Pills

Welcome to Bulbapedia, 48Pills!

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!   GrammarFreak01 (talk) 21:17, 17 March 2020 (UTC)

TCG

I appreciate your initiative but adding italic/bold to bits of the article's texts such as the Unleashed page is making them visually polluted. Pipefan (talk) 18:49, 6 April 2020 (UTC)

Removing Talk Page comments

Removal of talk page comments is not allowed unless it is vandalism or the page is being archived. Frozen Fennec 02:15, 7 April 2020 (UTC)

TCG text formatting

Bold is something done for the subject of an article, it's not something done specifically for TCG things. Expansion articles have two subjects, both the international and equivalent Japanese set, so they both get bolded the first time the names pop up.

While international expansions are officially italicized, we don't bother with it outside the lead-in as it causes a lot of visual clutter and looks weird when combined with Japanese sets which aren't italicized. Same goes for TCG Series (which is capitalized). Decks, card names, and evolution stages aren't italicized. Some card classifications like LV.X have italicization, some don't, but the "Pokémon" part of it never is.

And the EX Series doesn't have any — in the titles, the EX is a regular part of the name. glik^glak 17:20, 14 April 2020 (UTC)

Please don't make this sound like laws have been broken, they are simply the rules that you're choosing to impose today, rules that mean absolutely nothing, and if all this visual clutter is so offensive, feel free to change it. 48Pills (talk) 19:03, 14 April 2020 (UTC)

This is the explanation you requested for me reverting your edits. So that when I do remove the unnecessary formatting, you don't add it back and don't continue making the mistake of using too much of it. If you don't agree with these standards, you're free to argue to change them, but you do need to follow them. glik^glak 21:32, 14 April 2020 (UTC)

Archiving

While there is no strict rule on when to archive, but you are clearly archiving to get rid of messages you don't like. That is not how it's done. You do not archive your talk page just because you don't like what other people tell you. They are trying to help you to become a better contributor. If you decide to be arrogant and archive this message, there will be consequences. Thank you.--ForceFire 06:10, 15 April 2020 (UTC)
