A few notes

Hey, I had to make a few changes on your userpage so that we didn't have unwanted links showing up in the Wanted Pages. When editing in the future, please press the preview button before saving to ensure that everything looks the way you want it.

I just wanted to let you know what changes I made, and why I made them. First off, here at Bulbapedia we use American English spellings - though by all means, feel free to use the spellings you are most accustomed to on talk pages and edit summaries and such. The reason I'm mentioning this, though, is because the American spellings apply to template names, too - which means that the "favorite" and "color" templates are located at those spellings; trying to call them with "favourite" and "colour" will only result in broken links. (Also, {{User 3rd Favorite}} is not an existing template, so I replaced that with another 2nd favorite one.)

Secondly, the {{User}} template is completely different from user tag templates; meaning that if you try calling for a usertag with, for example, {{User|Likes Pink}}, you would be linking to a Bulbapedia user named "Likes Pink" (who probably doesn't exist) rather than the template {{User Likes Pink}}.

Next, you had been linking to two templates named {{User Australia}} and {{User 11}}. We do not have individual templates for countries or ages; instead we have the {{User Country}} and {{User Age}} templates, which are both customizable. I've replaced them with the appropriate defaults, but if you want to change them around a bit, you are free to do so tomorrow (only one userspace edit per day!).

Last note: remake titles are formatted as single words in CamelCase, eg. FireRed and SoulSilver, not Fire Red and Soul Silver. Templates like {{User Soul Silver}} do not exist.

You can see specifically what changes I made here, so take a look and try to understand why I made the changes I did. :)

Good luck, and welcome to Bulbapedia! 梅子^❀_✿ 01:34, 12 April 2010 (UTC)
