== Typebattle template title "Resist" is mathematically inaccurate with current values. ==

http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Template:Typebattle

Saying resist is mathematically incorrect if you keep the numbers as multiplication values.

Its valid for the 1/2x part since when you resist half the damage you take the other half.

However you are not resisting 2x the damage. That would be the same as resisting 200% of the attack. Resisting 100% or more would result in taking no damage at all. Resisting 0% would mean that you are resisting no damage and therefore taking 100% of the initial amount.

If you want to stick with the values being multipliers to the original attack i would recommend you to use another word like multiplyer, power or effectiveness.

Jo The Marten And I Are Having An Argument. Are People Allowed To Put Pokemon Templates On Mystery Dungeon Pages? [[User:Badjb10|Badjb10]] ([[User talk:Badjb10|talk]]) 02:00, 23 July 2012 (UTC)
:Pokemon templates should only be used like that where there is something special about the Pokemon (Abnormal ability, abnormal moveset, etc.). There is absolutely nothing different between that Drowzee and any other wild level 12 Drowzee. It is therefore unnecessary to provide that extra information.

:.[[Drowzee (Explorers of Time, Darkness, and Sky)]] That page is about Drowzee. As such, it has the full description, including the template. [[Mt. Bristle]] is about the location, and as such has to provide information on many Pokemon.

==AG132 Trainer's Choice Error==
1. It is ''not'' an assumption. I have seen every single episode with a Trainer's Choice, and every single one that asked "Which would be most effective against..?" or "Which Pokémon has the advantage?", it ''always'' meant types. '''Always.'''
2. If it's "still an error," why, pray tell, did you delete it?
3. You should tell that to Dennou Zenshi. "Didn't I just remove it?" he/she says, as if he/she is infallible.
4. I go to Talk pages to discuss something questionable. This is not questionable. It's quite obvious that Kirlia is being mistaken for a Grass-type. You wanna talk about assumption? Ask Dennou why he/she thinks that this TC could ''possibly'' be about Arcanine's ''stats'' and ''learnset''. Really?! That is laughably baseless. --[[User:IWannaBeTheVeryBest|IWannaBeTheVeryBest]] ([[User talk:IWannaBeTheVeryBest|talk]]) 11:39, 25 September 2012 (UTC)
:It's not obvious at all that they mistook Kirlia for a Grass-type, since [[M06]] and [[AG109]] made it clear that Kirlia is a Psychic-type.

== Ransei facility template. ==

I've been putting together [[User:Chosen/RanseiFacility|a template for the kingdoms of Ransei]] that would list the Pokémon that appear in their various facilities. I almost have it completed, but there is a strange occurence that's causing the last check mark to appear elevated in a sort of way. Since you worked on the templates I based mine on, I was wondering if you had a solution?

:The line break after the final check mark is included in the cell.

== A question about my edit to Template:16TeamBracket ==

Hello, Werdnae.  I made an update to the 16 Team Bracket template a bit ago for a few things.  Mainly it was to make the tables be rounded per Bulbapedia style.  While it looks good in concept and on most articles; I have seen a few pages where the template gets a bit streched out.  Most of the stretching is limited to the [[2009 World Championships]] and the [[2010 World Championships]].  I wanted to know if it was alright or if my edit should be reverted for the moment.  --[[User:Super goku|Super goku]] ([[User talk:Super goku|talk]]) 04:52, 12 October 2012 (UTC)
:It looks okay to me, but please be careful when editing templates. Especially at the moment when traffic is high due to B2W2, as editing even moderately used templates puts a big strain on the server.

How does [[User:Abcboy/sandbox/TournamentInfobox|this]] look? --[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 22:21, 23 October 2012 (UTC)
:Firsly, it needs to be roundy to match our style. I know you've based it on the game screen, but it still should be roundy because otherwise it looks out of place. Also because following the game design that strictly means that if it gets redesigned in future games, the template looks bad. They're 'inspired' by the game design, rather than emulating it.

:Secondly, the align tags need to be replaced. Content alignment (i.e. text and images) can be done with the "text-align" style (i.e. <code>style="text-align:left/right/center;"</code>), while table alignment can be done with the float style for left or right (i.e. <code>style="float:left/right;"</code>) or the margin style for centering (i.e. <code>style="margin:auto;"</code>). This is important because the align tags are deprecated and only currently working on a backwards-compatability setup which could stop working at any time.

:Other than those two minor things, nice work on the template. It's a nice code setup.

== Language support templates ==

I was looking at Wikipedia and they have some nice language support templates such as {{wp|Template:Nihongo}}, {{wp|Template:Korean}} and {{wp|Template:Zh}}. The Japanese one is particularly useful as it renders kanji properly. I was thinking on adding them to Bulbapedia but would like to know the staff's opinion on them. If they are accepted, I would ask Wikipedia for permission of usage of the templates here (please note that I do not have an account there) and try them out in my sandbox here first. What do you think? [[User:SatoMew2|<b><span style="color:blue">Sato</span></b>]][[User talk:SatoMew2|<b><span style="color:pink">Mew</span></b>]] 13:17, 25 October 2012 (UTC)
:If I'm not mistaken, we already use the same code that those templates use to display the characters. It's an html attribute, <code>lang="ja"</code> ("ja" is replaced with "ko" or "zh" for the latter two templates). The reason that ours may appear distorted is that, depending on where they are used, the characters are subsequently bolded and/or reduced in size. I have noticed that it becomes very difficult to read in templates where both are done. In short, I don't think we need the template as we (should) already use the relevant code that it contains. If there's somewhere the language code isn't used, it most certainly should be, and you're welcome to add it: <code><nowiki><span lang="ja">Kanji goes here</span></nowiki></code> <span class="sc">[[User:Werdnae|<span style="color:#2D4B98;">Werdnae</span>]]</span> <small>[[User talk:Werdnae|<span style="color:#009000;">(talk)</span>]]</small> 18:35, 25 October 2012 (UTC)

:::Well, I don't like them solely for the proper rendering of kanji. It's also because the templates help to standardize the way the Japanese/Korean/Chinese names should appear on articles. They also have the parameters <code>lead=yes</code> and <code>lead=no</code>, which allows the reader to know which written non-English language is he/she reading, with that element being present in the first instance of the language ''only''. It also helps in situations when there's no English equivalent to the Japanese/Korean/Chinese name, allowing the text to appear differently ordered to accomodate the situation.

== Infobox game update ==

I've tweaked and added some parameters to it as per feedback on the template's talk page as well as from my own ideas. Check the modified template [[User:SatoMew2/GameInfoboxTweaks|here]] and some tests with it [[User talk:SatoMew2/GameInfoboxTweaks|here]]. Basically, I did the following:
* Changed ''info'' in '''Basic info''' to ''information'' to be more professional and encyclopedic;
* Changed OFLC to ACB in the '''Ratings''' since the ratings were of the ACB, which was previously called OFLC, and also due to there being confusion over the independent OFLC from New Zealand. Furthermore, the OFLC from New Zealand is irrelevant as the Pokémon games released there are under control of Nintendo of Australia, the subsidiary of Nintendo for both Australia and New Zealand. Thus, the ratings for the games in these two countries are as per the ACB;
* Added the parameter for the OSK rating, which is the German rating system and is applicable to the Pokémon games;
* Added parameters to include the translations of Japanese names under the Japanese name, in smaller text (same size as Japanese text);
* Added other essential parameters about the games;
* Renamed various parameters, rendering the previous names obsolete and current usage of the template broken;
* Added "N/A" as fallback text for everything, for the sake of simplicity, consistency and to avoid showing the parameters themselves if there is a need to fallback to them.
Either way, wherever the template is used, those applications of it have to be updated. Still, what do you think? I believe it makes the template more accurate and complete now.

== Wiki code ==

You seem to be the correct person to ask...

On anime pokemon move templates such as this:

<!--{{anmov/h|poison||Ash Muk {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 3}}|0=Sludge Bomb|1=Body Slam|2=Poison Gas}}.png|Using {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 3}}|0=Sludge Bomb|1=Body Slam|2=Poison Gas}}}}
{{anmov|normal|Body Slam|EP077|The Fourth Round Rumble}}
{{anmov|poison|Poison Gas|EP115|A Tent Situation}}
{{anmov|poison|Sludge Bomb|EP270|Can't Beat the Heat!}}
{{anmov/f|poison}}-->
* Poison Gas was used in the [[dub]] only. In the original Japanese version, Ash just said Muk's name, ''Betbeton''.

I tried to to take the note at the bottom and put it into the actual template, using tt|*| next to Poison Gas, in order to make it look neater howevr it comes out like this

<!--{{anmov/h|poison||Ash Muk {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 3}}|0=Sludge Bomb|1=Body Slam|2=Poison Gas}}.png|Using {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 3}}|0=Sludge Bomb|1=Body Slam|2=Poison Gas}}}}

{{anmov|poison|Poison Gas{{tt|*|Dub only}}|EP115|A Tent Situation}}
{{anmov|poison|Sludge Bomb|EP270|Can't Beat the Heat!}}
{{anmov/f|poison}}-->


is their anyway the template can be changed so that we can put the tt|*| inside it? [[User:05308|<font color="blue">Diamond</font>]] [[Lanturn (Pokémon)|<font color="yellow">Lanturn</font>]] [[User talk:05308|<font color="red">CodeName: 05308</font>]] 16:26, 3 November 2012 (UTC)
:Adding a tooltip onto a parameter which autolinks will ''never'' work like that, because it's inside the link. The template needs the notes to be in parameter 4, which is alternate text and so can handle the tooltip template.

:Also, if a proposed usage of a template is broken, please don't save it as-is. Saving a broken template usage is likely to create other problems.

:Werdnae's away at the moment, but he gave me permission to respond to you in his stead. We feel relationship sections are not needed on character articles, as more than likely it will only lead to problems because of [[Shipping]]. Also, relatives are already mentioned in the infobox on articles. If you'd like to go in-depth about interactions between characters, then your attention is better suited for the shipping articles. <sup>[[Typhlosion (Pokémon)|<span style="color:#C00;">★</span>]]</sup>[[User:Jo The Marten|<span style="color:#C00;">Jo the Marten</span>]]<sup>[[Flygon (Pokémon)|<span style="color:#C00;">★</span>]]</sup> [[User_Talk:Jo The Marten|<span style="color:#C00;">ಠ_ಠ</span>]][[Cilan (anime)|<span style="color:#90C870;">♥</span>]] 04:54, 3 January 2013 (UTC)
That wasn't what I meant. What I'm trying to suggest is adding short summaries of some of the characters interactions, and for the shippings we'd just leave a link.

:That kind of information should be worked into the "Character" section, as their interactions with other people are a significant part of their character. It shouldn't need to go overly specific, just their general behaviour towards other people and anything markedly different.

:I know what you're meaning. What I'm saying is I don't want a list. The behaviour that is underlying the interactions should be included in the character section without the need to list. Important events should be included in the history section. We have existing places to put that information.

My explanation is in the user message on the article. I'd appreciate your feedback. (I'm scared to just make the decision myself since I feel I don't have that much authority over Music, since while I do contribute to the project, idk, I feel like it's not my place XD) thanks again :) [[Special:Contributions/Zesty Cactus|--]][[User:Zesty Cactus|<span style="color:#006400">'''Zesty'''</span>]][[User talk:Zesty Cactus|<span style="color:#3CB371">'''Cactus'''</span>]] 17:38, 18 February 2013 (UTC)

:Pokémon get disabmigs at X (Disambiguation) because there's already a lot of stuff to fit at the top of their page and the species names redirect there. Otherwise, it's just whether one is significantly more important than the other (Also, English names always trump Japanese names) or they're equal importance. If there's numerous things, then it might get a disambig, if there's just a few and the 'main' article is small then a note at the top is easier. There's no real hard and fast rule, it's more of a 'is this working?' and 'what are people more likely to be looking for?'. <span class="sc">[[User:Werdnae|<span style="color:#2D4B98;">Werdnae</span>]]</span> <small>[[User talk:Werdnae|<span style="color:#009000;">(talk)</span>]]</small> 06:11, 23 February 2013 (UTC)

The ranger net plot can't go there because it's separate, so it gets a section elsewhere. It might look like there's more info on Liberate the Tower than on Operation Brighton, but that's just because it's separate from the rest. There's actually a lot more info on Operation Brighton (the majority of the final paragraph of the plot section) than Liberate the tower (one sentence in its own section). The rest is just about the Darkrai once it gets to the main series games. The information on Operation Brighton is better suited to the plot section of the game page than its own article. <span class="sc">[[User:Werdnae|<span style="color:#2D4B98;">Werdnae</span>]]</span> <small>[[User talk:Werdnae|<span style="color:#009000;">(talk)</span>]]</small> 19:47, 5 April 2013 (UTC)

Hi Werdnae,
Can I please make a project that make good quality images and put them on pages? I noticed that there are a lot of old images or low resolution images that needs to be replaced. Thanks! [[User:Agent5514|Agent5514]] ([[User talk:Agent5514|talk]]) 02:36, 14 April 2013 (UTC)

== How do you edit templates? ==

Hello Werdnae, how do you edit existing templates? I noticed that on the Hoenn League template, the battle sprites of Steven and Wallace, are from generation III, not from generation V, and it's best to use the latest sprites. And if you think that I shouldn't be doing this, on the Hoenn gym leaders template, Wallace overworld sprite from generation V used, and he entered the PWT as a champion, not as a gym leader. Also, on the Kanto gym leaders template, Koga's overworld sprite is from generation IV, while he is an elite four member at that time. So please tell me how to edit the Hoenn League template. Thanks! [[User:Agent5514|Agent5514]] ([[User talk:Agent5514|talk]]) 00:40, 20 April 2013 (UTC)
:Those should not be changed because there ''must'' be consistency within the table. for ''isolated images'' newer is generally (but not always) better, but in tables like that it looks terrible if they don't match. And the reason that you can't edit most templates is that they are protected. This is done because every edit made to them puts a very large load on the server. 

:Please also use the preview button when you're editing so that you don't have to edit the same page so many times in a row. <span class="sc">[[User:Werdnae|<span style="color:#2D4B98;">Werdnae</span>]]</span> <small>[[User talk:Werdnae|<span style="color:#009000;">(talk)</span>]]</small> 01:16, 20 April 2013 (UTC)

::Well, on the Kanto gym leader template Koga is the only person to have a generation IV overworld sprite, so should we change every other gym leader sprite in that template to generation IV for consistency within the table? [[User:Agent5514|Agent5514]] ([[User talk:Agent5514|talk]]) 01:30, 20 April 2013 (UTC)

== This is bugging me... ==

It's regarding the "a" in the file links to avoid getting them in the wanted pages. One side wants me to use <nowiki>[[:a:File:</nowiki> instead of <nowiki>[[a:File:</nowiki>, and another side wants me to use <nowiki>[[a:File:</nowiki> instead of <nowiki>[[:a:File:</nowiki>. I am being told two different things that I was supposed to do which is getting nowhere. So which side is actually right?

:Both. <nowiki>[[:a:File: and [[a:File: both work properly, so it's up to the person writing the code for the link.

==New Project Idea==
I have an idea for a project that will help players build a team, or become successful with their current team. I already have some good strategies with Pokemon such as Espeon and Umbreon. I am messaging you to ask if the scope is broad enough for me to create this project. Thank you for your consideration.

==Youtubevid template==
Hi. Today I  was thinking about how weird it was to being still facing the problem with this template, after all these months. So, I decided to see if it still didn't work. And guess what: I viewed the source from the last edit done while it was still working - and it worked! I suggest you go check it out for yourself, and then, unless I commited a mistake, change it: it's over, I guess.

::As an addition to that, the old template was responsible for a few loading problems, where it pushed even moderately sized pages over the limit and prevented them from loading. We're still hammering out the details, but the usage is going to have to be much more restricted than it was, and we're going to have to remove any uses deemed unnecessary before the template can be fixed. <span class="sc">[[User:Werdnae|<span style="color:#2D4B98;">Werdnae</span>]]</span> <small>[[User talk:Werdnae|<span style="color:#009000;">(talk)</span>]]</small> 07:07, 10 June 2013 (UTC)

Hi, I want to ask you another question: as you may know, our portuguese-speaking partner has been closed for a long time, even tough the rest of the page looks alright. What I want to ask you is if, as the EiC, you have any idea of the cause of this problem, and if you think this puts in cause the presence of LANDpedia in Encyclopediae Pokémonis. Thanks.

:I don't have any knowledge on why, other than what you've noticed already. That said, if a wiki 'falls over' as it were, it's most frequently due to a lack of input from the community. That's also why Bulbapedia doesn't actively start new wikis for EP - if the community support needed to survive is there, then they'll make it themselves. If there's not enough of a community to sustain it then no amount of forcing will make that happen. <span class="sc">[[User:Werdnae|<span style="color:#2D4B98;">Werdnae</span>]]</span> <small>[[User talk:Werdnae|<span style="color:#009000;">(talk)</span>]]</small> 06:08, 28 June 2013 (UTC)
