User talk:FitzSimmons5423

Welcome to Bulbapedia, FitzSimmons5423!

By creating your account you are now able to edit pages, join discussions, and expand the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia. Before you jump in, here are some ground rules: Be nice to everyone. It's in the code of conduct. Make good edits. Preview them before you save to make sure they're perfect the first time around. Use wikicode and link templates when adding content to a page. Use proper grammar and spelling, and read the manual of style. You can't create a userpage until you've added to the encyclopedia. It's a privilege. See the userspace policy. Use talk pages to resolve editing disputes. Don't "edit war," or constantly re-edit/undo the same thing on a page. If you have a question about something, be proactive. Take a look at our FAQ. If you're still stuck, ask for help. The staff won't bite. Sign all talk page posts with four tildes (~~~~). This will turn into your name and the time you wrote the comment. For more handy links, see the welcome portal.

Thank you, and have a good time editing here!   GrammarFreak01 (talk) 19:32, 28 July 2018 (UTC)

Your edit to Ash's Pikachu

I don't know what you were trying to do, but your formatting for this edit was absolutely incorrect and it actually messed up the article a lot, so I had to undo it. If you're confused about certain templates, ask someone. Don't go around changing them, because sometimes it may drastically change the whole appearance of the article.

Re: What did I do wrong?

I apologize if I hurt your feelings in any way. That is how I normally talk to first-time editors whenever they make a mistake and I never got any flak for it until now.

You say you checked the page after you edited it as you said. Now, I don't know what you saw, but this is what I saw. A nonexistent template, a red-link, and the insertion of an absolutely irrelevant template. Now, a word of advice for the future, before you save an edit, you can click on the "Show preview" button at the bottom left of the screen. It will allow you to display what the article will look like before you click "Save changes". That way, your chances of making another mistake like that will be extremely minimized.

Also, another word of unrelated advice, please do not send a message through my talk page archive. It's just meant to be a record for all of the messages that I received in the past, to ensure my main talk page doesn't get cluttered and unnecessarily long. If you're going to send me more messages, please use the main talk page. Thank you. GrammarFreak01 (talk) 00:46, 30 July 2018 (UTC)
