::Hello, I had just made an account to help complete the Contest condition move tables. Looking at this discussion makes this seem unlikely to happen, but I figured I would ask to see if there has been any progress since the original post? And if not, is there anyway that I can get a hold of that linked template and attempt to work on overhauling the whole section? Thank you in advance for the help.

== CAPTCHA won't display ==
 
I'm a new user and I was able to sign up only because of the mobile view option since the desktop view wouldn't display the CAPTCHA. Now that I'm signed up, I can't edit pages with links because doing so requires a CAPTCHA and it still doesn't display. I'm using Chrome. [[User:AmoralCreed|AmoralCreed]] ([[User talk:AmoralCreed|talk]]) 04:38, 26 January 2016 (UTC)
: I'm also a new user, and I had a similar problem. Then Captcha showed up at the bottom of the "sign in" page and wouldn't accept my entries until (3-4 tries later), it finally displayed in the correct spot. (Also using Chrome, because it tends to run Bulbapedia with fewer hiccups than my IE 11.) [[User:Cybertronian|Cybertronian]] ([[User talk:Cybertronian|talk]]) 04:29, 18 February 2016 (UTC)
:: I had the same problem while signing up, so this is still an issue. However, in my case it might have been due to my NoScript plugin. [[User:Sandrew26|Sandrew26]] ([[User talk:Sandrew26|talk]]) 14:24, 27 May 2016 (UTC)
:: After trying to add external links to a page, the captcha requirement appeared again. Once again, it first appeared at the very bottom of the page, and entering the correct numbers had no effect. The page refreshed and again asked for a captcha, but this time the box was in what I assume was the correct location near the top of the page, and this time entering the numbers worked. I don't have any scripts blocked (noscript shows only bulbagarden.net), and ghostery isn't blocking it, either. I'd upload a picture to show you, but bulbapedia won't let me?

== What is the process for updating Game Sprite PNGs/images? ==
 
I've been using Bulbapedia to help me out as I play with the 3rd Generation Pokémon games (in my case: Sapphire, LeafGreen, FireRed, and Emerald). Recently, I decided to save some of the game sprites and I noticed that the R/S sprites for Jynx weren't consistent with one another. (R/S Normal Jynx had miscolored sprites and noticeable blank spots, mostly in the hands, compared the R/S Shiny Jynx.) Using Paint Shop Pro 9.01, I touched up the sprite, and kept the new image limited to the 15 (plus 1 transparent) colors used on the original image. This way, if someone were to ''manually'' change the palette colors to those of Shiny Jynx (after saving the PNG to their own computer, of course), they would now look indistinguishable. I then joined Bulbapedia so that I could submit my update for review.
That being said, what is the process for submitting a ''new'' image to be reviewed for possible replacement of an ''earlier'' submitted image? [[User:Cybertronian|Cybertronian]] ([[User talk:Cybertronian|talk]]) 04:45, 18 February 2016 (UTC).
 
== Gen1 sprite order on species pages ==
 
Is there any particular reason that the Gen1 species pages show the JBlue/Red/Blue sprites first, then Yellow, then Red/Green? Sprites from all other generations are listed by release order, with the "Red" of each pair when they don't use the same sprites. To keep things consistent, (and to easier display how they were changed over time), shouldn't they be ordered as Red/Green, JBlue/Red/Blue, Yellow? --[[User:FortMax|FortMax]] ([[User talk:FortMax|talk]]) 01:19, 29 February 2016 (UTC)
:We're an English wiki. English content is our primary concern. That said, Japanese content may be significant as well, which would be why we do include the different R/G sprites; but it's firmly a secondary concern compared to the releases that most English-speakers will actually know.
:And it's not really relevant that everything else is listed in release order, when everything else didn't have the same divergence between what was released in Japanese and what was released in English. That inherently breaks down any such comparison. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 01:35, 29 February 2016 (UTC)
:As Tiddlywinks said, English content has priority. I don't think it'd hurt if the order were changed to place RG first though. Also, if I may, Red and Blue, from an official standpoint, are nothing more than the Western releases of the Japanese Red, Green, and Blue (Blue provides the engine, Red and Green the version-exclusive content). We really don't need the game articles split into RGB and RB as this distinction is more of a habit than anything else, not to mention that the relevant changes can be explained in detail on their respective articles (e.g.: [[in-game trade]]). But this is just my 2¢ and that's a topic for another date, I guess. [[User:SatoMew2|SatoMew2]] ([[User talk:SatoMew2|talk]]) 01:58, 29 February 2016 (UTC)
 
== Question about updating images. ==
 
I've noticed many move pages missing Gen VI images, my question is how you take a picture of your Gen VI game as though it was a computer screenshot?

== Grammar error ==
 
On the Editor's Hub page it says "The follow articles don't meet our standards:", when it should be "following". I didn't see a way to edit it, so I'm leaving a note. [[User:Sandrew26|Sandrew26]] ([[User talk:Sandrew26|talk]]) 14:26, 27 May 2016 (UTC)
 
== Official Sun and Moon Release Dates ==
 
I am happy to inform you that Nintendo, through a 3DS notification, has set the official release dates for Sun and Moon as Nov. 18. I request that this be put on the main page ASAP [[User:Destructodon|Destructodon]] ([[User talk:Destructodon|talk]]) 01:38, 16 June 2016 (UTC)
:We've already had that information on the Sun and Moon page [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Pok%C3%A9mon_Sun_and_Moon&diff=2439847&oldid=2437102 for more than a month]. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 02:48, 16 June 2016 (UTC)
 
== Move breeding table width ==
 
Is it possible to increase the width of the tables in the "by breeding" section on moves? Everything's so squished that it looks silly and it's very difficult to navigate. Look at [[Leech Seed]] for an example -- the minisprites should be on more than one or two columns per generation. --[[User:Pyritie|Pyritie]] ([[User talk:Pyritie|talk]]) 11:02, 17 June 2016 (UTC)
 
== Accidentally signed a talk page too many times ==
 
I somehow signed the bottom of this section http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Talk:Tapu_Koko_(Pok%C3%A9mon)#Name_origin and I can't remove the extra signature because of a "vandal filter 3" error... On a side note, how are people supposed to make edits to something they said on the talk pages if they have to sign their edits literally every time? I swear why do all the wikis I visit always have questionable policies? [[User:Mattwo|Mattwo]] ([[User talk:Mattwo|talk]]) 23:06, 3 July 2016 (UTC)
:I've removed the extra signature. As for your other note, you sign every comment you make so other users know who wrote the comment.
