:Actually, no one can right now. The server that Bulbapedia uses has been left devastated by the huge number of userspace edits that were going on.

== Template:Legendarylocations ==
Just so you know ([http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Template:Legendarylocations&diff=prev&oldid=485458]), I know ''completely'' what I was doing, and this was obvious from my edit summary and the diffs between my edit and the one prior. In the rush to reproduce Platinum information, the table had become misaligned, as a result of putting in the new row for the Sinnoh legendary birds. I fixed this. Please check carefully in future as to what you are reverting. Red username =/= n00b editor: I've been doing the {{wp|Wikipedia|original Wiki}} for over two years now.

==Episode Articles==
Please don't copy and paste content from another episode article to create a new episode article. Use [[Template:DP episode]] instead. If you don't know how to use it, here's a lowdown:
#This field denotes the number of the episode in question.  For example, for the [[DP104]] article, the field should read '''104'''.  The previous and following episode numbers are handled automatically
#This field denotes the announced Japanese broadcast date.  For example, if [[DP104]] were announced for four weeks after [[DP100]], this field would read '''November 27, 2008'''.  (Note that this is in no way indicitave of DP104's actual Japanese airdate.)
#This field denotes the raw episode name in kanji.
#This field denotes the translated episode name in Roman characters.  For example, if [[DP104]]'s Japanese title were to translate as "[[Hearthome City|{{tt|Yosuga|Hearthome}}]] Yet Again!  [[Ash's Chimchar|{{tt|Moukazaru|Monferno}}]] VS. [[Kenny's Prinplup|{{tt|Emperte|Empoleon}}]]?!", that translation would make up field 6 with its raw kanji as field 5.  (Note that this is in no way indicitave to any actual DP104 plot.)
The template may be daunting to those unfamiliar with it, but it should grow on you after a few uses.--[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 17:11, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

== Hey Stop! ==
It's not that TTEchidna said that all gifs should be annihilated. I believe he just said that animated pngs are preferred. If gifs were disallowed, he would totally disallow uploading them but he did not.

:Look the infobox template is so large that if the images are arranged at more than two images per row, then they don't display at the start of the "In the anime" section. They are only displayed after the infobox ends which in some cases is a lot after the start of the anime section. As a result, a lot of space is left empty at the top which does not look nice. So, I think they should be arranged in twos.--'''[[User:Diby|<span style="color:#6890F0;">D</span><span style="color:#F08030;">i</span>]]'''[[User talk:Diby|<span style="color:#78C850;">b</span>]][[Special:Contributions/Diby|<span style="color:#F8D030;">y</span>]] 11:50, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

== Please ==
When linking things that have (TCG) at the end, use the TCG template, not the OBP template. The TCG Template just needs to be <nowiki>{{TCG|Aquapolis}}</nowiki> instead of having <nowiki>{{OBP|Aquapolis|TCG}}</nowiki>. And, it is unneeded to add those links to cards, like you did [[Slakoth (EX Power Keepers 63)|here]]. Those links already appear on that page and it isn't needed at all, please refrain from doing it anymore.

:Also, the links shouldn't have been made to [[Basic Pokémon]], that is not where the rest of the pages should go. Also, {{g|card}} is a redirect. If you don't change anymore and if you leave the ones you already did as is, there shouldn't be any problems.

::Speaking of which, I would prefer if you didn't change <nowiki>[[Pokémon Trading Card Game]]</nowiki> to <nowiki>{{g|Trading Card Game}}</nowiki>. The style that we are supposed to use is the one without the link template, It just makes it easier to use, so stop changing them on TCG pages.
