Okay everybody. ONE! If there's a vandal, don't talkpage it! IM it! You should know who the admins are. Get their AIM, MSN, ICQ, Yahoo!, whatever! TWO! Try to bring up discussions on template and other talk pages, don't come to me immediately. THREE! I'd like this to last at least three months... You notice the ever-growing list of archives up there, don't you? Let's make it grow slower. Please? Thanks. TTEchidnaFire echy

About the Misty article...

Due to recent events (I.e. SteelBastille's vandalization) I think we may need to put it in protect mode for the time being. I mean, if you haven't noticed, he has been editing messages and implementing them with extremely inappropriate, leud pornographic sentences. And believe me, that's far more serious than the previous two times that we had to initiate protection mode for this article. ~~Weedle_McHairybug~~

this kid is litterally asking to get banned (seriously, he wants his account banned), and untill he does, he will probibly continue vandalizing the page. a protection will do no good as he will just move onto May probibly, he hit that one earlier. MAGNEDETH 20:24, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Oh boy... And with rumors of Dustox's release brewing with DP073... TTEchidnaFire echy 22:07, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

A favor...?

Would you mind editing Template:Spr so it links directly to the games instead of the redirects? It's really bugging me... -ニョロトノ666 17:02, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Also, I recently reverted several edits that were based on speculation surrounding the titles of several upcoming episodes. One suggested that Ash's Pikachu may even evolve in DP074. I'm confident that it won't, and I believe such blatant fan speculation has no place here, but some users insist that it be kept. Your opinion? -ニョロトノ666 17:27, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

HEY HEY!!! I am ALSO CONFIDENT that it will not evolve. But I'm only saying the truth that the title SUGGESTS that it will evolve^PokeManiac₁₀₂ 17:28, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

There! I didn't remove it but I fixed it up a bit^PokeManiac₁₀₂ 17:33, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Never mind, TTE. Fabu-Vinny took care of it. I'll ask him about Template:Spr, too. Thanks anyway! -ニョロトノ666 17:50, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Oyy. This is why I wanna protect the pages on new episodes that have titles that hint at an event that may transpire in the episode. TTEchidnaFire echy 19:34, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Well, I dunno what they tried to do to take care of the problem with Template:Spr, but it didn't work. -ニョロトノ666 20:28, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Speaking of link templates, is it possible to get Template:V to link as "Pokémon {{{1}}} Version" instead of just "Pokémon {{{1}}}"? I created its variant templates based on such an assumtpion.

And as for fixing up Template:Spr, I'm thinking we replace the instances of Template:pkmn in it with Template:v2 for singulars and Template:2v2 for plurals. --Shiningpikablu252 22:45, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Make sure the v template's not linked anywhere where it'd screw something up (like, say, make it Pokémon breeding version or something)... after that, I'll get right on it. TTEchidnaFire echy 08:57, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

Okay, I did. And it's fixed. I just hope they remake Gold and Silver Versions. TTEchidnaFire echy 09:02, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

Template:Spr still links to all the game redirects. Do you have any idea how to fix it? --ニョロトノ666 02:16, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Done. TTEchidnaFire echy 05:15, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Brawl Code

how do i find my Brawl code? MAGNEDETH 21:24, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Connect to the WFC. TTEchidnaFire echy 04:03, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

guess it would help to hook up the Wi-Fi. i just dove right in. want to fight somwhere down the line? MAGNEDETH 06:07, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

Sometime. I've currently got ten days until I can get back to my Wii... stuck at college until break. TTEchidnaFire echy 08:58, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

well, as i said, i dont have Wi-Fi set up yet, so, there is by means no rush, but i would enjoy a match if yur up to it. MAGNEDETH 21:45, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

Okay. TTEchidnaFire echy 21:49, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

You should join us. TTEchidnaFire echy 18:47, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

TCG Set Infobox (Updated)

Hi again, I've updated the infobox to include Energy symbols, see what you think. If you like those, I'd suggest a Template:ES for small versions of Energy symbols (otherwise I can add more code to the infobox, but that'd be more clutter than usefulness). Double Dash 19:22, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

I've seen the infobox and want to ask a question: How does the Template:Code thing work? Optimatum^Talk|♊02:55 12 Mar 2008

I don't really know either. I just mess around with it until I get it working... TTEchidnaFire echy 02:57, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

Nag, nag, nag...

• Veekun has footprint sprites, but I've haven't asked for permission yet, but I'd thought I'd let you know
• Can we get somehow the names of the playable trainer classes for Pokémon Battrio? I thought I'd add them to the article
• And finally, has someone talked to Safari about using their trainer mugshots for XD and Colosseum yet? --Manga-in-a-bottle 02:45, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

• I do believe we're affiliated with Veekun. After all, we use Filb's MSes and animated MSes; we're affiliated with them. Plus, as quoted from the page: "The sprites are not mine in any way; Nintendo created them, not me. If you want to credit me for collecting or ripping them, that's cool; if not, that's cool too, since you can find these all over the Internet anyway."
• Don't have any clue how we'd go about that.
• No idea. Wanna?

That's all. TTEchidnaFire echy 03:13, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

• Yippie!!
• Well, Pokésho has some fan-made icons here (at the bottom). I just need someone to translate them.
• Uh... I don't speak Spanish... ^^; --Manga-in-a-bottle 10:24, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

TCG

Uh, I think there are too many TCG articles and many are stubs. Do you think we can have one article each about one Pokémon's TCG cards?^PokeManiac₁₀₂ 03:15, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

Good Nite. I expect feedback tomorrow. You never answer my questions nowadays. Btw, what is your Aim anyway?^PokeManiac₁₀₂ 03:25, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

One article for each individual card is necessary. We don't combine the articles for Caterpie and Metapod into Butterfree even if the first two are essentially useless. The only card articles that get combined are reprints or near-reprints. A wiki is constantly expanding. Why contract it? That'd be like saying "Screw Jupiter's moons, all can go under Jupiter". There are only so many TCG articles because there are so many cards. One could say the same about there being too many articles on Ash's Pokémon, too many articles on anime episodes. How often did we see Primeape, and how much is it seen anymore? Four episodes, ten years ago. Notable? You bet your ass it is. Individual cards get individual articles, just like individual Pokémon do. Especially since a card named Pikachu has been printed in nearly every set.

I'm not an instant answerer, you know. I make edits other than my talk page, otherwise I'd never beat BulbaBot. And my AIM is on my page. Scroll it down, you'll find it. TTEchidnaFire echy 03:33, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

Vandal Alert

Halturner26 Porygon-Z 18:45, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

There are three, Halturner26, Themudkipmaster, and TheBlaziken-Master. The last one has the same name as TheBlazikenMaster. File:Ani444MS.gif~Kenn File:Ani444MS.gif 18:51, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

Help!

There seems to be something very disturbing on the main page..... When I visited at about 2:50 pm PST... Choconeko#359 18:55, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

Fucking bitches! Porygon-Z 18:57, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

It's not just you, it is apparently everyone, sadly. ^Moldy_Orange 18:58, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

We need more mods dammit! Porygon-Z 19:00, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

Is it gone yet? T.T why does this happen? I totally agree with Porygon-Z. Why can't the vandals get a fucking life and leave the site alone. Choconeko#359 19:13, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

THEY MADE HO-OH A FUCKIN SWASTIKA! :@ Porygon-Z 19:14, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

Dammit, even the archives. File:Ani444MS.gif~Kenn File:Ani444MS.gif 19:24, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

Yeah i know! :@ and Palkia was porn! Porygon-Z 19:25, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

Well TTE's takin' care of it! Porygon-Z 19:34, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

Sorry to bring this up here, but the guy came into my talk page and made some comments on it. I'm afraid that, if I delete them, he won't stop bugging me. What can I do? Commanderraf 19:36, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

Delete, he's banned now. Porygon-Z 19:38, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

All fixed. TTEchidnaFire echy 19:39, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

Many, many thanks. I've been working in some pages for about two hours. Will this raid affect them (meaning I'll lose all my work)?? Commanderraf 19:41, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

Were they the vandalized pages? If so, just copy all the text in the editbox, hit cancel, go in to edit the whole page, and hit paste. TTEchidnaFire echy 19:44, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

Main Space

this may be a long shot, but, is there any way to make a rule about some users abusing the site? and by abusing, i mean little to no main space edits. im not really picking on anyone in particular, ive seen more than one user doing this, and with people getting rid of user pages and the like to help the server load, it sort of seems like a waste not to do somthing about users who take advantage of the site. im not against personal pages and stuff, but, some people seem to join the site for that sole purpose, and i think thats wrong. MAGNEDETH 15:31, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

A rule, sure we could make one... I'd take it to the Bulbapedia forum, though, see what people think. TTEchidnaFire echy 21:23, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

hmm, im not a forum member. MAGNEDETH 21:31, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

Then make an account... TTEchidnaFire echy 21:35, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

yea, i knew that was comming. no offence to the forums, but i have no intrest, though, i should probibly make an account so no one takes my name.. MAGNEDETH 21:37, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

Go for it. TTEchidnaFire echy 21:43, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

well, now that thats done, i guess theres nothing i can do about the problem at hand? MAGNEDETH 22:02, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

If you posted the query already, all you can do is wait. TTEchidnaFire echy 22:13, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

no i didnt. how will posting on the forum solve the problem? MAGNEDETH 22:29, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

Because then more people than just me can decide on it. TTEchidnaFire echy 23:47, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

but the forums and the pedia are not equals, as in, this is not a/the forum. i figured it would be an admin/Zhen Lin sort of thing. and it is to say that the majority of people to understand the problem would be pedians. granted, both of these ideas are hindered by the offenders waltzing in and making their arguments and vote the idea down. MAGNEDETH 00:00, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

Yes, but bringing up there can tell you if others share the opinion. Just don't name names. TTEchidnaFire echy 01:07, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

Oh, Crap...

There's a problem with the Main Page. Under the "Current Events" section. We look like idiots. -ニョロトノ666 00:31, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

I've informed Archaic. I assume it has something to do with the italics. TTEchidnaFire echy 03:11, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

Oh no, what happened. IT'S EMBARASING! HURRY UP QUICK!^PokeManiac₁₀₂ 03:18, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

One more thing, Click current events. Look at the link that lets you Read more^PokeManiac₁₀₂ 03:21, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

I've noticed! It's the italiiiics. We'll fix it ASAP. TTEchidnaFire echy 04:16, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

Um, it's still not fixed...--Theryguy512 10:47, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

As I've noticed. I wish I could. TTEchidnaFire echy 20:12, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

Zhen Lin just took care of it. We look professional again. Yea! -ニョロトノ666 01:19, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Moves Used

I was starting to go around to make the "moves used" by trainer's Pokemon alphabetical (So far I only did Gligar and Piplup). For example:

• X-Scissor→Sand-Attack
• Steel Wing→Steel Wing
• Sand-Attack→X-Scissor

But I think I noticed something...are they in order of first move used to last move used? Porygon-Z 00:33, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

No idea. No idea at all. Unless Bubble went before Bide which is before anything else... TTEchidnaFire echy 04:44, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

Yea, they're in chronological order and should probably stay that way, so don't change them. --Theryguy512 14:24, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

Got it. Porygon-Z 14:53, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

Conflicting Statements?

Here says that Arceus created Dialga, Palkia, Giratina, Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf. But here, it says that Arceus did not create Giratina. I have no idea what to do.^PokeManiac₁₀₂ 18:55, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

It's been implied that Giratina's the third member of the dragon trio and was therefore created by Arceus, however it does not state this in the game. I'm fixing it up. TTEchidnaFire echy 20:02, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

Reverse World Images From Movie 11

I got images from the trailers of the Reverse world.

File:Reverseworldfloor.png~View of the Reverse world Floor.

File:Reverseworldceiling.png~View of the Reverse world Ceiling.

File:Reverseworldclouds.png~View of the two along with the poisonous dark clouds that appeared after Movie 10.

---

Now, Many times in the video of the reverse world appeared bubbles. I think that these are like portals between the Pokémon and Reverse worlds. Do you know?

File:Reverseworldbubble.png Why I think that they are portals

^PokeManiac₁₀₂ 21:20, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

We'll have to see when Movie 11 comes out. TTEchidnaFire echy 00:16, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

The Glatra Breeder

A question, could you check Darkrai breeder's and Glatra's IP addresses? DB accused Politoed666 of hacking his account just to vandalise my page. O.o;;; Optimatum^Talk|♊08:51 22 Mar 2008

Quote

I have to say this. I was on BULBABREAK to find my game and get a better pic. And TTE is a sockpuppeter and politoed is a dispicable hacker. he gmailed me and said he hacked me. dont try my IP because it is just articles and glatra fights... dont belive me..... then let me strangle you... AND I DONT LIKE HANDLEING THINGS WITH VIOLECE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!--Darkraibreeder 18:50, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

Peace out. He accused you of being a sockpuppeter while the only sockpuppeter is me -bad joke-. The little asshole thinks that 'IPs' are his contribs. O.o;;; Good luck handling him. He's in your hands now. Optimatum^Talk|♊02:27 23 Mar 2008

Oy vey. Only Darkrai Breeder and Glatra believe in the Glatra Glitch. I told both of you! Show me on youtube!^PokeManiac₁₀₂ 02:30, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

That was a quote.Optimatum^Talk|♊02:32 23 Mar 2008

One in the same. But they haven't done anything to increase any votes yet as far as I see, so they may just be like, brothers or something, using the same computer/network. TTEchidnaFire echy 02:57, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

Yes, I do the same thing with Link6491 and Charizard, so just because they have the same IP doesn't mean sock puppetC Isfor Cookie

As for the reason of my dynamic IP address, it's because a single IP would cost a bomb. Optimatum^Talk|♊03:03 23 Mar 2008

Wait what? TTEchidnaFire echy 03:07, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

My IP. It's dynamic because it's too expensive to have one single IP. Optimatum^Talk|♊03:09 23 Mar 2008

Too expensive...? TTEchidnaFire echy 03:17, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

In Singpaore, it is. American are god damned rich so you guys can have a static IP. =( Optimatum^Talk|♊03:19 23 Mar 2008

Not all of us are made of money you know.....C Is for Cookie 03:21, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

Wait, it costs more to have a static IP? Damn. Why the hell do I then? Fricking Comcast. I wish I didn't have a static IP so the scienos couldn't find me. TTEchidnaFire echy 03:24, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

That's just according to my dad. Optimatum^Talk|♊03:28 23 Mar 2008

Huh. TTEchidnaFire echy 03:30, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

Dynamic addresses cost 50% fo static addresses in Singapore. Not sure if it applies in America, thoughs. Optimatum^Talk|♊07:53 23 Mar 2008

That's stupid. I'd expect them to cost more... TTEchidnaFire echy 08:00, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

AKgirl

We have a problem with this user's userpage. No one can edit it (it has not been blocked) and we have no idea what to do^PokeManiac₁₀₂ 04:51, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

Temporary measure. We're testing the server to see how much load userpage edits put on it. TTEchidnaFire echy 04:56, 25 March 2008 (UTC)]

im very interested in the results. how will i be able to find out such? MAGNEDETH 04:58, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

Ask us when we're finished? TTEchidnaFire echy 04:58, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

As to i as well. And no one can edit anyone's userpages^PokeManiac₁₀₂ 04:58, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

guess ill find out tomorrow.. MAGNEDETH 05:01, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

No one can edit anyone's userpages. And tomorrow, the recent changes will only be cluttered with User talk:TTEchidna 500 times. TTEchidnaFire echy 05:03, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

THE TTE 500!! sounds like a race! MAGNEDETH 05:06, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

I need Help

TTEchidna, I can't edit my Userpage. PM2 says that it could be a bug or I had my rights taken away by editing it too much. Should I start editing to the main space? AKgirl04:53, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

Nononononononono. You didn't have any user rights taken away. It's a test we're conducting on the server... Should be resolved soon. Don't put anything you would otherwise put on your userpage in the main namespace. That'll just exacerbate the problem. TTEchidnaFire echy 04:56, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

May I ask when I became PM2? GlinnFile:Ani202MS.gif 05:07, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

Um, that's me, not you^PokeManiac₁₀₂ 05:09, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

NO, REALLY. YOU DON'T SAY. I'm just pointing out the fact that I said what you were reported as saying. And now I'm editing another talk page. :| GlinnFile:Ani202MS.gif 05:12, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

Wait... say what? I know of three that said it. I, You, and Magnedeth^PokeManiac₁₀₂ 05:14, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

I only saw myself saying it. BUT IT DOES NOT MATTER. GlinnFile:Ani202MS.gif 05:18, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

Sorry to butt in, but any idea when this might be resolved? Cipher 21:34, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

The server issue? As soon as possible. Be patient, it won't be a year. More than likely just a week. TTEchidnaFire echy 21:40, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

Alright, cheers. =) Cipher 21:42, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

well, i asked how the test was going, and you told me to ask you tomorrow (yesterday) so im asking. if im not mistaken, you said the test was to test the stress that User page edits put on the server. that being said, and maybe its just me, but it seems like the server is running a bit better. i also cant help but feel the test was a deterrent from people making 100% User page edits, but, i support that. MAGNEDETH 23:28, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

I've noticed that as well. Zhen's the final say, though. If possible we could restrict User: namespace edits to maybe ten per day per person. TTEchidnaFire echy 00:08, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

ironically, as soon as i posted that, it seems like the server slowed down considerably, leaving me to still lean twards my theroy of the server slowdown; ie: overuse. but regardless, i think a restriction to 10 (or so) namespace edits per day sounds like a good idea. MAGNEDETH 00:17, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

That was better than my idea: In order to edit your userpage once, you have to do 1 mainspace edit right beforehand and in any given hundred edits, no more than 50 can be userspace; but mine would be kind of hard to enforce. ;) ^Moldy_Orange 01:53, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

Glitch of the month!

given the almost cirtain impossibility of "Glatra" and the fact that i only feel like wasting my time once, what should i take a picture of to prove the rumor false? btw, the only picture equipment i have right now is a rather un-fantastic cameraphone... MAGNEDETH 05:05, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

Hrm. Well, it would've been great if you could've taken a video of it... but if you say no Glatra, I agree no Glatra. TTEchidnaFire echy 05:10, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

As to I. I pray that Darkrai Breeder and Glatra do not read this^PokeManiac₁₀₂ 05:10, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

well, i havnt done it yet. and i cant really take a video of it considering it will take a little while (what with legendaries taking 15,000 steps to hatch) so, i was wondering what do you want in terms of pictures? i was just planning on taking a picture of the final product. HOWEVER, id like to add that even with a legendaries breeding code, the code is only supposed to work with a ditto, so this could be over within the first minute of the experiment. in which case, i probibly wont bother taking any pics. if thats the case, youre going to have to take my word for it, which in the name of factoral evidence, i assure you, no bull. MAGNEDETH 05:18, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

Yes that's what I though with all the genderless species taking part in the breeding^PokeManiac₁₀₂ 05:19, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

1. Breed Uxie with a Beautifly (press L R before it hatches)

not possible. FAILURE.

there is no code i could find to allow this. the only legendary breeding code i found was for Ditto only. i did try that code, but, obviously, nothing happened. i didnt take any pictures because thats pretty self-explanitory. that being said, unless somone can find me a code to allow legendaries to breed with anything BUT a Ditto, this myth is BUSTED. MAGNEDETH 00:56, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

Okay you really freaked me out there, no surprise for it being a fake, and I love the show Mythbusters^PokeManiac₁₀₂ 00:58, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

diamond stats

so you give us most of your trainer card for diamond. what about total play time?

i clocked up about 305 hours, that's nearly 2 weeks solid play time! File:Ani258MS.gifOrigamiGuy Lieks MudkipzFile:Ani258MS.gif 18:56, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

A question

How do you become an admin?

AKgirl23:49, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

LOTSSSSSSS OF EDITSC Isfor Cookie

not just edits. theres also the fact that you must have tons of responsibility, maturity, and knoledge. theres also the fact that admins are generally well known among a community, like TTE and SPB252. theyve been here a while and they know how things work. think of it as a promotion to a job. youve worked hard as an employee, and over time, the boss sees you as a hard worker, and you get a promotion. MAGNEDETH 00:03, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

You also have to be somewhat seroius. Unlike meC Isfor Cookie

What they said. Just work diligently and you shall be rewarded. Not asking also helps. TTEchidnaFire echy 04:26, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

I'm not suprised SPB252 was promoted to admin.... TESHIGIGAS 16:15, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

Exactly, he did a lot without asking for anything for it. TTEchidnaFire echy 19:19, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

Okay...how did you become an admin (what did you do?)? Optimatum♏^Talk|♊10:49 28 Mar 2008

What I do now... TTEchidna 23:51, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

Pokemaniac102‎

This user is insistent on having Image:Pokemaniac102.png‎ on Bulbapedia redirect to his user page on the basis that "another page does it" and that "I don't think anyone would like to view the specifics", even after I had deleted the redirect once before. I suggested that he use an imagelink template instead, but it appears he doesn't want to do it. I even asked for the identity of the "other page that does it" and he gave me nothing. On top of that, it appears he's using the 90×90 image in question in his signature, which I'm positive is beyond legal boundaries for signature images. Apparently I can't convince him alone, so I need help. Can you help? --Shiningpikablu252 23:02, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

1. Image links don't align with the words
2. I'm only TESTING THE REDIRECT
3. I'm only TESTING IT BY USING IT AS MY SIGNATURE

I'm gonna use imagelinks soon, and I'm only testing it by using it as my sigFile:Pokemaniac102.png 23:06, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

Well... all I can say is... try and finish this test by tomorrow morning at 10 GMT (that's 4AM CDT), and inform us when you've finished so we can fix everything. It's good to, you know, let one of us know before you do anything like this. TTEchidnaFire echy 23:11, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

Oh, uh, Imma be finished in a few minutesFile:Pokemaniac102.png 23:12, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

Well, hurry it up, the job queue is at around 300 because I updated a few link templates. TTEchidnaFire echy 23:29, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

Oh you can fix it now! I'm trying to figure out that thing where the picture moves as someone scrolls down the screenFile:Pokemaniac102.png 23:33, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

Yes.

The lack of edits in the User: namespace has roused our sluggish Bulbagarden. I can finally get something done. -ニョロトノ666 02:29, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

One more thing: You created quite a few odd, unused templates awhile back, like Template:Flare Blitz. What are they for? -ニョロトノ666 02:58, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

Those are just redirects to the main template, because the moves are all clones of each other. TTEchidnaFire echy 03:21, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

the code!

WHERE DID YOU GET THE CODE FOR THE ARCEUS ITEM?

{{subst:AKgirl/Sig}}01:04, 28 March 2008 (UTC)19:11, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

I... don't have one? I have a Darkrai and that's all; that came from the Movie 10 event in Japan. TTEchidna 01:58, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

Trade Possibility

Um, Hi, I just saw that you had a few shinies, and i was wondering if you would be interested in a trade? I have a shiny Carvahana Lv. 30ish (nonhacked) and a shiny Deoxys (unknown, I got it from a friend, the name goes funky when I transfer, so?...). Please respond on my talk, because I can't access yours from my normal computer. -Theininen 22:08, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

Question+Question

Alright, first one first. There's a lot of users with images in their signatures; short of leaving every one of them a personal message, I don't see a good way to inform users at the moment. Can you or Zhen Lin perhaps make a policy page for the signature policy, so there's something I can refer people to? I'd do it myself if I knew how you handle policy pages here a little better, but as it is, I wouldn't know where to put it (edicts? guidelines? and so on).
On that note, with a good policy page up, I know a bit of coding; I can set up the SiteNotice to display a mention of the policy to users, with your permission. I think I know a code that even lets users dismiss the notice, so they don't have to see it up there all the time.

Second question. You have a nifty little trades section up there at the top of your page... I've got TM71 (Stone Edge) I believe, and I'm in need of an Earthquake. Do you have MSN messenger or something of the sort? I'd love to get a trade going, if we can just sync up. I also need Ryperior (sp?) in my PokéDex, so if you can get it in my 'Dex, I'd happily trade over my Protector to assist with the process (I don't really have a use for the Pokémon itself, so long as it's in my 'Dex).

And as a bonus note: your Current Diamond Game infobox there is slightly too wide on my screen (my screen's at 1152x864 resolution, too), so it's not fitting next to your userboxes. The result? The contents of your userpage from that box onwards doesn't show up until after all the userboxes (which, as you already know, is a long way down). You might want to try to make the box a little smaller... the Pokédex box can be made smaller if you stick a linebreak in the "National Dex Completed" line, for one. Friend code could be fit underneath your Trainer too, perhaps, that would shave a nice chunk off the side. -- Jïörüjï Ðērākō.> 09:18, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

Certainly... as soon as the server starts going faster. Augh the damn thing is so sloooow...

Ooh. Well, I don't have MSN, but I have AIM. And if you need a Rhyperior, well, gimme the Rhydon with the Protector, I'll trade it back.

Hm. I'll fix it. TTEchidna 00:43, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

A couple things. First of all, would you mind deleting "User:Politoed666/Sig"? Secondly, I'll help remind users about the signature policy now that I've redone my own. -ニョロトノ666 02:02, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

Never mind about the first request. It's been taken care of. -ニョロトノ666 02:04, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

Account Problem

Well yeah I asked this a long time ago but I just thought it wasn't worth it but I changed my mind. Anyway, I had an account before, [1], this one. Anyway I forgot to confirm that it was my account and I didn't notice this before. If you're wondering how I didn't notice before and why I couldn't edit I thought that users had to wait a certain amount of days or weeks until they could edit. Um I really rather have my old account again so is there anything I could do?--GIAFGC 03:15, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

You'd have to ask Zhen if there's anything he can do... TTEchidna 03:49, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

Pie

Is she gone for good? Oh, and how did her edit count go down? Check the top contributors. --ニョロトノ666 18:32, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

Oh, and does Zhen update the "Uncategorized pages" article manually? --ニョロトノ666 18:40, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

I do believe that uncategorized pages are among the pages updated manually each time. Wanted pages, uncategorized pages/categories, broken redirects, and double redirects are all in the same boat when it comes to being updated. --Shiningpikablu252 18:44, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

Not for good as far as I know. I'll ask her later on. And yes, that's manual. TTEchidna 23:11, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

Oh, wait...I forgot! You're Pie's sockpuppet! --ニョロトノ666 23:42, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

Perhaps it's something to do with the millions of pages deleted recently? Optimatum♏^Talk|♊05:33 31 Mar 2008

either that or they become redirects. TTEchidna 06:18, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

Okay, next problem: How do we ban you? Optimatum♏^Talk|♊13:40 31 Mar 2008

You can't, muhuhahahahaha. TTEchidna 17:06, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

deletion

Can you delete these two pages for me, I am all done with my templates!

User:Moldy orange/Signature

User:Moldy orange/Sig

^Moldy_Orange 00:59, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

Nevermind, already done! ^Moldy_Orange 01:56, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

Only One.

should it be added to the respective pokemon's page about their signature move? (if they have one) i guess it would fit well in "special abilities". also, why im here, can i make a small suggestion on your sig? maybe its just me, but i like it better as this: TTEchidna, or this: TTEchidna. (i personally like the former/blue) please note that in order for you (the viewer) to see the changes, i had to link your "chidna" to your user page in order allow the colors to come through. (what with this being the talk page and all) --- MAGNEDETH 23:40, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

Sure. Maybe something like "Lugia is the only known Pokémon that learns Aeroblast."

And eh, I dunno. We'll see. TTEchidna 02:16, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

ok, well, i was also going to bring it to your attention that a majority of these templates are both unprotected and used quite a bit. -- MAGNEDETH 02:21, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

are protections easy? or are they just as tedious and repetitive as it looks? -- MAGNEDETH 02:52, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

It's really easy. And mostly tedious. TTEchidna 02:53, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

well, at least its easy for our back-breaking admins.

as for Sig moves, i was guessing we would put it under "Special abilities":

Lugia is the only known Pokémon that learns Aeroblast.

or

Lugia's signature move is Aeroblast.

-- MAGNEDETH 03:09, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Yeah. First. TTEchidna 03:12, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

ok, ill get on it tomorrow. -- MAGNEDETH 03:14, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Uh...?

AH! All the red words are freaking me out! what happened??????PokeManiac102 03:04, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

I'm typing up the announcement as we speak. TTEchidna 03:05, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

*breathe in* *hold for ten minutes* * breath out* *screams* Okay I'm over it, oh my curiosity of what happenedPokeManiac102 03:07, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Is the main page's talk archive protected...If so, why? ^Moldy_Orange 03:10, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Because it's an archive and we didn't want anyone screwing with it. I'll unprotect later... TTEchidna 03:12, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

ELIMINATED FOREVER???PokeManiac102 03:17, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

I still think this is an April Fools' joke. If it isn't, then OSHIT, there goes my teams. This, will be pretty interesting to see the reaction, though.. Tina ^δ♫ 03:20, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

I pray so, but then again, I don't really care, and good night to you allPokeManiac102 03:24, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

April Fool's? Man, it's still 7:50 on March 31st here. But anyway, I'm wondering, too, is this temporary? I'll admit that I'm glad Bulbapedia doesn't take abhorrently long to load anymore, but this seems like kind of a drastic measure. --Martonimos 03:51, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

with no more user space, we wont need these or these. might as well delete them. -- MAGNEDETH 04:18, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

True. TTEchidna 04:38, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

SILENCE! TTEchidna 05:57, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

That's a lie! If they're deleted FOREVER, why does [2], [3], [4], etc. still work???? Muhahahaha!!! {{SUBST:User:Theryguy512/sig}} 11:16, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

So... This is a joke...? {{SUBST::User:Crystallucario/Signature}} 11:38, 1 April 2008 (UTC) Ok...My sig broke... {{SUBST::User:Crystallucario/Signature}} 11:40, 1 April 2008 (UTC) That's cause it has User: in it. So, it's just a prank.PokeManiac102 22:22, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Just because it's April Fool's,

Doesn't mean Zhen Lin or TTE would do somethign mean like that...right? Optimatum♏^Talk1 Apr 2008

Anyway, I want to ask a question. What the --- is the ---king problem with my sig. I'm gonna --- the server up ----------------------- in the --- hole. {{SUBST:Template:Tt|Optimatum♏|Optimus35}}^Talk1 Apr 2008

Something in the <sc> code is probably the issue... it's almost like it's doubling as a <nowiki> tag instead... -- Jïörüjï Ðērākō.>.cнаt^ 13:01, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

phew! you just replaced the e in user with a cyrillic e or something.

thank god, i was worried it was the aftermath of your block on user page edits Template:Usеr:Origamiguy/Signature 14:37, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

This User: thing can be worrying at first... TESHIGIGAS 15:59, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

The entire namespace was renamed? That's... wow. That's cool. Anyway, I guess this means the pages still exist, so the server's doing fine even with all of them hanging around. --Martonimos 23:20, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Not renamed, just moved to a secretly renamed space. And LOOK at the production it's brought! TTEchidna 23:52, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

still a userpage left

i was looking over to see what links to my nonexistent page and shinynoctowl's page is still there and i was confused...--{{SUBST:User:Kittenchild/sig}} 23:09, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

Oh, that's because the e appears the same textwise. The page linking to it is the page at the hidden userspace. TTEchidna 23:12, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

ok so are you guys planing to fix that or just leave it there because that still takes up bandwidth doesnt it?
