Templates.
I've noticed you moved some of my learnset templates to mainspace (and by extension, created redlinks). However, they're unusable because the header isn't done yet (or moved, dunno if it's done, not too experienced on this matter)... any plans to tackle them in nearby future?

- It uses a separate header, Template:Learnlist/levelh/4. Werdnae (talk) 18:02, 2 January 2014 (UTC)
- Oh. What about the other three Generations, then? Marked +-+-+ (talk) 09:58, 3 January 2014 (UTC) PS. Wait. It has only one level field, which is how it is currently used (so it becomes a mess when you add the IVj or IVs). Marked +-+-+ (talk) 10:04, 3 January 2014 (UTC)
- I haven't had time to build the other generations yet. For different header names use parameters 5 and 6 for the headers. So for IVj the fifth parameter is DPPt and the sixth is HGSS. If the sixth parameter isn't called, the second column doesn't appear, which is used for when there aren't any changes. Werdnae (talk) 18:42, 3 January 2014 (UTC)
- Okay. It links fifth Generation to wrong place (where there now is sixth Generation), though. Marked +-+-+ (talk) 10:34, 4 January 2014 (UTC)
Might need some help here.
So, it seems while I was messing around with testing an old idea of mine, the Pages where template include size is exceeded category seems to have made me its victim. Is there a way this can be fixed? I've tried getting rid of some transclusions, but it still happens. Schiffy (瀬藤健二) (Talk Contribs) 23:00,1/2/2014 (UTC)
- Unfortunately, there isn't really a way to fix that. The type effectiveness template is rather large, and I've been meaning to work on that a little, but there's simply so many of them on that page of yours that it'll never fit under the limit. Your best bet would be to use subpages. Alternatively, you could try using
{{typebattle}}. It appears to be smaller, but it can be hard to tell at a glance. It only has enough parameters for the pure types, so there may be one or two that it won't work for. Werdnae (talk) 18:42, 3 January 2014 (UTC)
- I think I might just end up splitting it into subpages of the subpage. It's either that, your suggestions, or use
subst:, which would jack up the page size. Thanks for your time, anyway. Schiffy (瀬藤健二) (Talk Contribs) 20:56,1/3/2014 (UTC)
Cipher Peons in Pokémon XD (Category:Pages where template include size is exceeded)
Is there a way to remove the category without having to delete anything from the page? — Reshi643 03:24, 14 January 2014 (UTC)
- The only way to remove that category is to make the templates smaller. Kogoro has recently built some replacement party templates that should be much more efficient. They act as a header, with the Pokémon cells inside it, as opposed to calling them as subtemplates (which doubles the include size.) Instructions for the use of them can be found here.

- For Kapen's Seviper and Cipher Key Lair's Ursaring, the style="margin:auto" isn't working. Am I missing anything on it? — Reshi643 17:34, 14 January 2014 (UTC)
- For five Pokémon parties, you don't use the pipe before the template, just the margin:auto. Additionally, the Gen III Pokémon templates weren't updated with their margin codes yet. I've edited the two templates, and fixed the two Peons. - Kogoro - Talk to me - 18:15, 14 January 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks for fixing the templates and the Peons. — Reshi643 18:25, 14 January 2014 (UTC)
NIWA interwiki links
Hi Werd, I noticed an error with the template {{wb}} used to link to WikiBound. It only links to "Wikibound.info/Parameter", rather than "Wikibound.info/wiki/Parameter". I don't know how to fix it so I was wondering if you could help me out, thanks!! --ZestyCactus 21:15, 14 January 2014 (UTC)
- Likewise,
{{wk}} should link to "wikirby.com", not "wikirby.us".--電禅Den Zen 21:29, 14 January 2014 (UTC)
- I've fixed both of those. Werdnae (talk) 21:34, 14 January 2014 (UTC)
- Awesome, thank you :) --ZestyCactus 22:01, 14 January 2014 (UTC)
Question
This is probably going to be a dumb question, but why aren't I allowed to create a user page? I've made a few edits on articles relating to the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon series, and I've looked at the Userspace policy, yet I don't see any criteria I haven't filled already. Is the user page privilege currently disabled or is it because I've only made edits to side games? Pikemon27 (talk) 04:34, 26 January 2014 (UTC)
- There is both a time and edit limit before you are able to create a userpage, keep at it and it'll become available to you. Werdnae (talk) 04:40, 26 January 2014 (UTC)
- Okay then. Thank you, and I will! Pikemon27 (talk) 17:15, 27 January 2014 (UTC)
Partnership
Hello~ I'm Darknesslover5000, and I'm here to bring up a small proposition. I was originally going to take this to Archaic, as he seems to be the head Honchcrow around here, but I saw he doesn't answer talk page messages and it was advised to take concerns to the Editor-in-Chief, which, as it appears, is you. I'm here to ask, what does it take for Bulbapedia to partner with a fanfiction wiki? It's generally accepted that this is one of the better Pokémon sites around, and my friend and I recently moved our fanfiction wiki, Pika-Fanon, to the Shout Wiki, which isn't as well known as Wikia in general. As such, we were wondering if we could, in some way, partner our wiki with Bulbapedia. We already strive to imitate this wiki in terms of appearance, and, from my previous experience here, there have been users with an interest in making their own characters and storylines. If you could please get back to me, it would be most appreciated! --Darknesslover5000 (talk) 21:08, 30 January 2014 (UTC)
- I would say your best bet would be to contact Archaic and the head of the Writer's Workshop (The fanfiction section of our forums) by PM on the forums. I should also note that while we cannot stop you making things appear visually similar, you must not directly copy our pages, including templates. Your wiki is licensed as Public Domain (which I should note is strange for a fanfiction wiki - posting a fanfic there forfeits all ownership rights to it). Our wiki is licensed under the Creative commons by-nc-sa 2.5 license, which requires any sharing to be done with attribution (which is lacking) and under the same license (which it is not). As a result I must insist you remove all content taken from Bulbapedia. Werdnae (talk) 20:20, 31 January 2014 (UTC)
A template in limbo
Mr. Editor-in-chief of the Editorial Board, I have an issue I need solved. For the past 3 months, I've been hoping that Umeko would find time to approve my Japanese/English lyrics template for songs. She has responded to periodic PMs, but she has many things on her plate at present, and she has not so far had the time to give the template a good look.
I really don't want to wait on Umeko indefinitely. Three months is quite a long enough wait for me. If Umeko can't manage it, someone else should be able to make this decision. I'd like for you (or someone) to vet and (if it's deserving) approve the template in Umeko's stead. Tiddlywinks (talk) 03:24, 3 February 2014 (UTC)
- I don't think that the tables on those pages are complex enough for a template to be worthwhile. You should be able to put all the code into the header and hardcode it without it becoming too long. Werdnae (talk) 21:43, 5 February 2014 (UTC)
- I don't understand whether you're against a template (as your first sentence apparently indicates) or not. "You should be able to put all the code into the header": this header? Do you perhaps mean that I should combine the three templates into one?
- In any case, if you don't think the template saves enough "length": templates are not just for shortening code. Templates provide an accessible and recognizable standard, and by the same token they facilitate any changes to that standard by ensuring that only one place needs to be changed: the changes will be reflected everywhere the template has been used.

Pokémon Gen6 icon
Hi there. I noticed that you uploaded the Gen6 icon image for Pokémon Skrelp. I was wondering, where did you get the icon file? Did they all get dumped from the game? Is there a place where I can get clean versions of all the icons as they exist in Gen6? I'm writing a small web plugin that will allow people to efficiently include Pokémon icons in their web projects through the use of an optimized image sprite (which also includes shiny icons made by the community). I'd like to use the Gen6 versions as a base, seen as how they're different from the Gen5 icons. Anyway, sorry for laying this request on you, but if you could help me I'd greatly appreciate it. Dada (talk) 13:08, 10 March 2014 (UTC)
- Sorry for the late reply. We were given the sprites by the head of PokéWiki, who captured them himself. If you wish to use them, you would have to ask him. Werdnae (talk) 07:14, 13 March 2014 (UTC)
