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)

Speculation bad. If it's your opinion that hasn't been proven right, don't put it there.--freezingCOLD _{(page, talk)} 22:10, 19 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)

Once again, please use the preview button.  — Laoris _(Blah) 17:19, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

Pokémon biology

I noticed you are adding quite a lot of information on Pokémon behavior and habitat. However, some of it appears to be unsubstantiated. What evidence do you have, for instance, that Electivire "are cruel creatures that enjoy bullying" or that Tangrowth "are very unintelligent"? — Laoris _(Blah) 19:59, 21 January 2009 (UTC)

When voting

On featured articles, please remember to change the number of the votes. Thank you. The Dark Fiddler - Nos hablamos? 18:01, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

{{TP}}

Do this {{TP|Dawn|Pachirisu}} not [[TP|Dawn|Pachirisu]].--FF(edits-talk) 11:12, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

Unsigned comments

Please don't re-sign them. The timestamp will be different, and will make it more confusing. Also, in that context, it looks like you posted the comment after Martonimos's warning, which would thus result in a block. I'm sure no admins would be stupid enough to believe it, but you never know...so don't do it again.--freezingCOLD _{(page, talk)} 21:01, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

No

Do not put information about an evolution that may happen on the Pokémon pages. Why do you think Dawn's Piplup, Dawn's Prinplup, and DP121 are being protected? --ケンジのガール 14:57, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

TO QUICK THINGZ

1. Remember, link templates. {{a|Snow Cloak|whatever the alternate text is}} not [[Snow Cloak|Whatever the alternate text is]]. 2. Where are you geeting proof for these behaviors/habitats/physiologyz?--freezingCOLD _{(page, talk)} 19:38, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

Other userpages

do not edit other people's userpages, it is foremost rude, but moreover, against the rules. -- MAGNEDETH 21:00, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

Sorry, I knew I shouldn't have done it. I just thought the links were offensive.- unsigned comment from Dusknoir477 (talk • contribs)

well, if you think their offensive, tell that user, but, in the end, its freedom of speech. Dusknoir sucks! thats how I feel about Dusknoir, but if you like him, you have the right to and i wont stop you. also, please sign your comments with 4 tildes (~). -- MAGNEDETH 21:08, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

Preview button

I strongly appreciate that you're contributing to improve Bulbapedia, but can you PLEASE use the 'Show preview' button? It is located right next to the 'Save page' button for convenience when editing a page. Thank you. --Theryguy512 22:35, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

I do use it. In fact, I use it a lot now. I'm scared of not using it. What article did I not use the preview button on? Sorry, I forget.

Feebas and Milotic? --Theryguy512 22:44, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

Oh, I remember! I added in its biology, but then upon checking it then clicking save page, I noticed it was already written because I didn't notice. I re-edited it to merge them into one big biology. Really sorry. I should have just left it.
