:Oh ok, the move function wasn't working for me because the Fossil pages redirected to existing pages already. I'll also be contacting users directly in the future.

By the way, since I've gotten your attention, do you have any thoughts on the fossil pages splitting? I feel the previous ones were hard to sift through, and do benefit from the new item template. [[User:Lanthanum|Lanthanum]] ([[User talk:Lanthanum|talk]]) 03:14, 16 February 2018 (UTC)

...Did you forget so easily what I told you here? I've noticed you creating userspace pages, but I just now noticed that you've edited, for instance, [[Resist Wing]] with the code you had in one of your userspace pages, as well as many others. Looking back a couple days, it looks like you did the same with [[X Attack]], and I'm seriously wondering whether there was any item page you've created since the message above that you don't also have a duplicate for in your mainspace...

:Those item pages were created by me, using current item templates and checking on each of the locations for accuracy. As for the userspace pages, I leave them there because there can be lots of minor edits that I and a few others tend to make (especially for items where location confirmation is important) before they're moved to mainspace, so as to not unnecessarily clog up its history. Recently I've been moving the code if the page seems to be complete, being more and more used to the kind of content the item pages need. If the issue is that I have duplicates on my userspace because they've been moved, I can delete them from my userspace easy.

::I fear we're not clear here, so let me repeat. '''Do not''' create a userpage and just copy its code into a mainspace page. Okay? [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 19:02, 9 April 2018 (UTC)
