User talk:Oak93

Welcome

Welcome to Bulbapedia, Oak93!

As a new user, you may wish to learn a few things that will be useful in your editing:

• For a basic overview of wiki code, see this page.
• The manual of style is very important. Make sure to read it. It outlines all official policies of Bulbapedia.
• The word Pokémon is spelled with a capital P and an accented é. The P, of course, is accessed easily by holding Shift and pressing the P key, while the é can be accessed using Alt + 130 or Alt + 0233 on a Windows computer, and Option + e, then e again on a Mac. Otherwise, you can click it in the character palette below the editbox.
• The word Poké Ball is spelled as two words. The "Poké" part is identical to the four beginning letters in "Pokémon"; "Ball" is spelled with a captial B (which is, again, accessed by holding Shift and pressing the B key). The spelling "Pokéball" arises frequently, but is incorrect.
• The word "you" and all forms of it should not be used on encyclopedic pages unless it is a quote from Pokémon media. Bulbapedia is an encyclopedia, not a walkthrough.
• On talk pages, please sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).
• The use of link templates is official policy. For an explanation on their use, see the page on shortlinks.
• If you happen to spot a vandal in the recent changes that has not been dealt with, please see this page for how to deal with it.
• A list of pages that are linked to, but have not been created, can be found at this page. A list of short articles that may require more information can be found here, while a list of articles that need improvement can be found here.
• A list of the admins that you can contact in case of a problem, can be found here.

Thank you, and have a good time editing here! TESHIGIGAS 20:35, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

Gym leader Pokémon

With the exception of Misty, Brock, and maybe Giovanni, all Gym Leaders disserve ONE Pokémon page. They don't need a page for every one of there Pokémon. Just the one that had the most impact such as Maylene's Lucario. We DON'T need pages for her Meditite and Machoke.

Also, the Japanese katakana characters you entered for the Pokémon were all wrong. You entered everything as ナタネのナエトル Natane's Neatle. If you are on a computer that can only see boxes instead of kana, then delete the boxes when making a new page and wait for someone to enter them in. --ケンジ ガール 20:48, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

Link Templates

Please use link templates when linking to stuff such as Pokémon names. For example, {{p|Finneon}} instead of [[Finneon]]. This is so you don't unintentionally link to a disambiguation page.

For a full crash course on link templates, look at the shortlinks. --Shiningpikablu252 16:34, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

Article Blanking

Please don't blank encyclopedic articles such as Zoey for no reason, even if you do restore them afterward. The page-blanking act is a blockable offense, and blanking encyclopedic pages can cause big-time blocks. --Shiningpikablu252 21:31, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

Non-notable Pokémon

Please do not create articles for Kenny's Alakazam and Breloom. They are not notable. --PAK Man ^Talk 18:22, 12 September 2008 (UTC)
