Welcome

Welcome to Bulbapedia, Kalot!

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.
  • If you want to make a page about a character you made up, please create it at User:Kalot/(name), not merely (name). Bulbapedia's main namespace is reserved for actual, official Pokémon, items, characters, and locations. Also, please try to make sure that subpages are not categorized by templates used within.
  • 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! Kalot 02:49, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

Contest Tag

A usertag you have been using, {{User Five Masters Ribbons}}, has been moved to a new location due to a split in the usertag between the Contests of Generation III and Super Contests of Generation IV. Your tag has been switched to that template's new location, {{User Contest Master}}. If you have only mastered the Super Contests, please change the tag to {{User Super Contest Master}}. If you hav emastered both, go ahead and add both. --tc26 14:52, 24 October 2008 (UTC)

Signature Testing

Let me see... [[user:Kalot|<font color="#237d00"> '''K'''alot '''4th''' Altru President.'''>'''</font>]] 03:35, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

Nope, I cant make a nice signature Kalot, the 4th Altru President. 03:36, 31 December 2008 (UTC)
Do you have Raw Signature checked on your preferences page? PhoenixGraphix 22:32, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
I guess that was the problem... but I already have a signature that I like :D ----Meet me at Kamelot 22:35, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
Glad to help, I'm a self-proclaimed nerd. PhoenixGraphix 22:37, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
Add ''' to the end of it. Its bolding the time stamp.--Clarky13 22:38, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
I dunno, I kinda like the bolded time. :) PhoenixGraphix 22:39, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for the help, self-proclaimed nerd. I've already added the extra ''', just in case. :) ----Meet me at Kamelot 22:49, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
