Please use link templates

For example, type {{t|Bug}} instead of [[Bug-type]]. Thank you. The Dark Fiddler - Nos hablamos? 20:57, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

Rather, to get "Bug-type" for the link text, use {{type2}} rather than {{t}}. TTEchidna 21:37, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

Please

Slow down on editing the User: namespace. There are only three userspace edits allowed per day, and you have gone over the limit. Editing your userpage too much will lead to it being locked again. Instead of making multiple small edits, why not instead use the preview button (Alt + Shift + P) to check your edits before saving the page? Thank you. --UltimateSephiroth ^{(about me · chat · edits)} 21:31, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

Link Templates

Please use link templates when linking to stuff such as Pokémon names, attacks, and the like. For example, {{an|May}} instead of just [[May]]. This is so you don't unintentionally link to a disambiguation page.

For a full crash course on link templates, look at the list of link templates. --Chocolate (Chat with Me) 22:47, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

Speculation

We here on Bulbapedia look down on inserting speculation into articles. Most Pokémon genders and many details about future episodes, for example, must be taken with a grain of salt and should not be inserted into articles without definite proof. Thank you.

This also goes for game giveaways from NPCs. Unless Cynthia says outright "This egg came from one of my Pokémon", the Togepi egg is no more likely hers than anyone else's. Same for Riley's Lucario and him giving away a Riolu egg. And does that mean you're suggesting that the hiker in southeast Hearthome has a Chansey on him? It may very well be the case, yes, but if there's any possible ambiguity, we can't have that. TTEchidna 21:37, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

PREVIEW

To avoid making multiple edits like you are doing on H POKé, try using the preview button located next to the save button. Thanks!--freezingCOLD _{(page, talk)} 22:36, 13 January 2009 (UTC)
