Ehh...debatable for now... ht14 01:31, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

Whoops

Here, I figured out a little something that will work a little better. Sorry about that and thaks for everuthing.--MisterE13 18:48, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

Done. —darklordtrom 22:52, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
Some new stuff on there now, got rid of some redirects and added Rotom and Castform clauses. BTW, yes I had made one final mistake on the Infobox which is now fixed in my Sandbox I'm 100% sure it will work now though (and Shaymin's page will be perfect.)--MisterE13 01:01, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
Which new stuff am I supposed to install? —darklordtrom 03:13, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
Everything, its kind-of scattered in the first two so I suppose you could copy/paste. If that's no good, most of it was just redirect-avoiding (which I do believe is good). Other than that, it was just Rotom, Castform (and a slight Burmy) clauses.--MisterE13 03:17, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
Query: What do the "improvements" actually do? Just sprite altering? —darklordtrom 03:25, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
A lot of redirects to Forme differences are avoided (don't know if that's as important as I think it is), putting in 412 automatically inserts a little "Plant Cloak" (for Burmy), the TM one now allows for Rotom (complete with sprites and "Forme differences" links) and they both allow for Castform (links only, obviously). That's pretty much it I think.--MisterE13 03:41, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

Books

Hey Trom, should we start making articles about the Pokémon books? A couple I can name of the top of my head are: Pokémon pop quiz by Carli Entin, and Attack of the prehistoric Pokémon by Tracey West. Actually, could we just make it a project? I could put together a list before you decided if you want. Thanks Trom! -MasterKenobi 03:43, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, definitely go ahead with that. I wouldn't suggest a full-flown project just yet, but maybe we can organise something more formal once some work has actually been done. Tracey West doesn't even have an article yet, so that may be a good place to start. I've read a few of her novelizations (but don't own any), and recall a bibliography on the back. And of course, the internet may be a good resource as well. —darklordtrom 07:36, 2 July 2009 (UTC)
This and this look like a good place to start. I will help with the project if it's created. *wishing I still had all of the books I had by her* --ルレ 07:54, 2 July 2009 (UTC)
Wow, that first site looks great! I suppose I'll get started on that article, then. Unless you have already. —darklordtrom 07:59, 2 July 2009 (UTC)
I haven't. And of course that first site looks great. It's her official sight. (lol) --ルレ 08:00, 2 July 2009 (UTC)
Hm. I should get some more sleep. I thought I was talking to the same person then.... D: —darklordtrom 08:16, 2 July 2009 (UTC)
lol What's this "sleep" of which you speak? It's 2:20 am here and I'm not tired at all. And it has nothing to do with the Pepsi I'm drinking. *should probably shut up now**goes to edit my userpage a ton (but only one recorded edit, no worries) and possibly create a couple book pages* Should we do pages for the pop quiz book mentioned above, the activity book, the how to draw Pokémon book (by Tracey West), and/or the sticker book? --ルレ 08:29, 2 July 2009 (UTC)
How about you try and do the lot? Keep up the quality, though. —darklordtrom 08:44, 2 July 2009 (UTC)
Okay. They might not be very good, as there isn't much important stuff to write about (I believe). --ルレ 08:48, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

OK, thanks Trom. I can probably get my hands on a couple of the books but will start out with just a list of to-do stuff. Thanks again, and get yourself some sleep! –MasterKenobi 16:36, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

Trom, I made a To-do list and have quite a bit more to add. I think, that I could probably make a project out of this if I get an OK. Here is the first book article, Island of the Giant Pokémon (book) but, I think to make it look a bit better we could use a template that includes the title, book cover image, pages, publication date, ISBN # (This one I think isn't really needed), and publisher. For the series books though we could make it like the anime or the manga where it links to the book before it and after it. -MasterKenobi 19:22, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

Quick question

Do you know how to link directly to a category on a userpage without it getting included and making it appear? I'm trying to extend list of (non talk) pages I've created on my userpage, but it won't show the category pages. --ルレ 08:37, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

{{cat}}. —darklordtrom 08:44, 2 July 2009 (UTC)
Thanks! --ルレ 08:51, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

A Question

Three things (not all questions). First, how do you use special characters in the search boxes? Second, one of the pictures on your userpage doesn't display. Third, if there is supposed to be a Haunter pic on this page its not working and just says purplehaunter.png or something like that.--Swampert rox 16:39, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

The images are your problem, not mine. They all display for me. Try clearing your browser cache (Ctrl+F5). If, by special characters you mean the e-acute (é) you can either copy-paste from somewhere else, or you can type Alt+130. These can all be found in the character map for Windows. If you're on a Mac, I can't help you with that. There's probably a list on the internet of every special character ever created and the accompanying codes. —darklordtrom 02:49, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
For Mac: The é is option-e-e. I use it all the time. Other symbols can be gotten by other option- combinations. All the letter keys plus have special chars. --ルレ 03:03, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
If you mean Alt + 1 + 3 + 0, it doesn't work. If that's not what you meant, what do I type?--Swampert rox 21:19, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
I think he means to hold the Alt key and type 130 in that order, not all at once. I've never tried that method, though. --ルレ 21:22, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
Doesn't work (or do anything whatsoever).--Swampert rox 14:58, 5 July 2009 (UTC)
Then something's up with your computer. I'd love to fix it, but... um.... yeah..... —darklordtrom 05:18, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
Alt+0233 can be used as an alternative for the e-acute. ~ solaris 05:20, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
You have to use the numberpad to type the numbers, not the row at the top of the keyboard. If you are using a laptop which doesn't have a numberpad then you can buy a usb one quite cheaply, or just cope with the redirects that should have been created. Werdnae 05:37, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
Most laptops have an Fn key anyway, which activates keys differently. It's what I use: I gotta hold Fn and Alt and hit jlm. é. Happy daaaaay! TTEchidna 06:08, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
That doesn't work for me either. Is there any alternative way for a laptop?--Swampert rox 11:49, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

Sorry again

Did I apologize for my behavior. I had not realized that I could not make other changes. I do not speak English well and I find it difficult to understand at times. Sorry again for my ignorance. --Brendon 8.35, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

yukushi wisdom

Thanks for your help. Actually, since I don't edit much in Bulbapedia, I was considering canceling my account. That's why I was editing. I didn't realise that I was doing it in my fake name lol but anyways thaks for everything. {{SUBST:User:Uxie wisdom/sig}} 23:57, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
