If you compare the character from JN002 to the one from JN049, the characters don't just resemble each other, they're identical. Moreover, she uses a Jolteon, just like the one at the lab, and the voice actor is also the same, I believe. --FinnishPokéFan92 (talk) 16:06, 17 December 2020 (UTC)Reply

Oh, okay. Thanks for providing the evidence! :) GrammarFreak01 (talk) 08:13, 18 December 2020 (UTC)Reply

What's the difference between putting Ash's name between [[s compared to putting it between {{s?

I saw you make this change in one of the pages I watched, and since I'm still relatively new here, I was wondering if there was a particular benefit for it? Since both link to the same page. Andre1070 (talk) 15:59, 24 December 2020 (UTC)Reply

Allow me to direct you to the site's list of link templates for further information. GrammarFreak01 (talk) 09:04, 25 December 2020 (UTC)Reply
I actually found that one after I sent you that message. It is indeed very useful, but I'm still having trouble understanding the Ash one in particular. The templates are supposed to make the links shorter and easier to write, right? So what's the advantage of writing Ash in {{ }} as opposed to [[ ]]? It seems like it might have something to do with characters that have surnames given the other examples on the list, but even then, using [[ ]] for those works too.

Pardon me, but I think the reason is so that the top of Ash's page doesn't have a "(Redirected from Ash)" just below the title, where the {{ }} one links it as "Ash Ketchum" rather than just "Ash" as the [[ ]] one does.Animaltamer7 (talk) 12:35, 25 December 2020 (UTC)Reply
Oh, that makes sense! I didn't notice that, thank you. Andre1070 (talk) 12:52, 25 December 2020 (UTC)Reply
That's in the list of link templates that I sent you... GrammarFreak01 (talk) 09:10, 28 December 2020 (UTC)Reply
But it doesn't mention the part about the template removing the (redirected from Ash) note on the top of the page, only that templates exist to shorten the length of links. That's why I thought there was no functional difference between the two, since they are the same length. I think it could be potentially useful to add a note about that utility on the page.
