Cool
This template adds the last edit(s) on Bulbapedia {{Special:Recentchanges/1}}. The number at the end can be substituted with any number up to 500.
This leads to a random page on Bulbapedia {{Special:Random}}. You may change the random preference by adding a /User, /Shipping/, or /Appendix at the end, for {{Special:Random/User}}, {{Special:Random/Shipping}}, and {{Special:Random/Appendix}}.
This is a list of the recent articles on Bulbanews, {{:Current events}}.
Color
Color can be inserted to make things look bright and attractive! For a list of colors with their wiki code numbers, see List of colors. Note that the code used is under the Hex-triplet column!
Color switch can be used to switch the colors of things, #{{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 6}}|0=FFCCCC|1=8674A8|2=2E2ED4|3=CEDE48|4=F99CB8|5=FF7777}}. You can add any color you want. The "mod" number must correspond to the number of colors, hence the highest number + 1, for 0.
User Tags
- {{User Template|Opening text|Link|Ending text.|Image|special|Type color 1|Type color 2|Type color 3}}
Self explanatory text in the template itself. For a guide to usertags, see Bulbapedia:Usertags. For a list of usertags, see Category:User tags.
Random
__NOTOC__ is used when you don't want a table of contents on a certain page. __TOC__ is used when you want the table of contents, but you want it in a certain place.
An image that switches, {{subst:Imagelink|{{padleft:{{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 493 + 1}}}}.png|80px|80px|{{Num2N|{{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 493 + 1}}}}|{{Num2N|{{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 493 + 1}}|3}} (Pokémon)}}.
Similarly to color switch, except the color hex-triplet is replaced with desired words, {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 2}}|0=Word Switch|1=Switching Words|2=Words that switch}}.
This is used to remove the small blue "edit" links on the side of pages, __NOEDITSECTION__.
<small> makes the size of text decrease and <big> to increase the text size. To undo these, </small> and </big> will work.
Talk Namespace
Other user's pages
Subst: is used to take all the contents of a page and put into onto another (i.e.Subst:Welcome).
This is used to welcome new users. Type {{subst:Welcome}}, and the standard welcome template will appear!
- {{subst:Unsigned|User Name}}
When a user doesn't sign their comments, just add {{subst:Unsigned|User Name}}, which will appear as - unsigned comment from GreenGyarados (talk • contribs) .
Warning templates are used when a user has broken one of the binding rules of Bulbapedia. For more information, see Category:Warning templates.
Signatures
These are used to slash through text, like this. Can be used in signatures.
Sup causes text to appear like this. Can be used in signatures.
Main Namespace
To change the size of the image, [[Image|Numberpx]] will work, for example, [[File:130.png|100px]].
If you mouse over the Gyarados, notice that the text box will say "Gyarados!". To achieve this, [[File:130.png|Gyarados!]].
As used many times in this subpage, this template ignores wiki-code formatting inside the template. <nowiki>~~~</nowiki> instead of ♫Green♫ギャラドス♫Talk♫.
