Apparently, the help pages at Bulbagarden Archives redirect to these help pages at Bulbapedia. But the section "[[Help:Editing#Incomplete list of interwiki prefixes|Incomplete list of interwiki prefixes]]" doesn't list any way to interwiki link from a file description on Archives back to relevant Bulbapedia articles. I first guessed b:, bulba:, bulbapedia:, and :en:, none of which worked. Nor does the [[mw:Extension:SpecialInterwiki|extension to list all interwiki prefixes]] appear to be installed. After a couple more tries, during which I contemplated using external link syntax or just citing the titles of the relevant Bulbapedia articles without any link syntax, I finally guessed that bp: is the correct interwiki prefix to link from Archives to Bulbapedia. Could an administrator add this to "[[Help:Editing#Incomplete list of interwiki prefixes|Incomplete list of interwiki prefixes]]"? --[[User:Tepples|Tepples]] 19:18, 20 November 2010 (UTC)

You use { {bp|Page Title|Displayed Text} } or { {bp|Page Title} } without the spaces between the brackets.

Is there a way to upload an external image into an infobox? I'm trying to do that on my userspace and it isn't working. I get this.

== Right to edit one's own personal CSS ==
Was it an intended effect that people cannot customize personal CSS before becoming autoconfirmed? Is there a recommended workaround that will allow users who have not been autoconfirmed to produce the equivalent of personal CSS? --[[User:Tepples|Tepples]] 14:54, 20 May 2012 (UTC)
== Big typo? ==
There is some wierd thingy in the section "Not encoding stuff". Setence 2, it says
<pre>
<code>"code <></code>
</pre>
Shouldnt it say
<pre>
<code>"<code>"</code>?</pre>

== Not encoding Errors ==
On the "Not encoding things" part there were a few mistakes, the first one is the "code <>" as someone mentioned above, and the second one is the common "to, instead of too" error. Also, the <strike>W</strike> only puts up <nowiki><nowiki>Insert non-formatted text here</nowiki></nowiki>, so you still have to put the <nowiki><code>, and </code></nowiki> part to make it look like <code><nowiki>''Example''</nowiki></code> instead of <nowiki>''Example''</nowiki> {{unsigned|IVsaur}}
:Fixed. I basically edited it to say that <nowiki><code></nowiki> tags are not needed, but are preferable, but the button does not provide that. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 06:32, 25 January 2013 (UTC)
==Personal CSS==
I can't seem to figure this out. It says "To edit the CSS, a user should type in "User:username/monobook.css".", but it doesn't say where to type it. I have lots of experience with Wiki stuff but this one thing has puzzled me for a while. Can someone please tell me how to do it? Thanks.

== Watchlist error ==
So... I can't seem to add or remove anything from my watchlist. The notification in the top right corner is displaying "An error occurred while changing your watchlist settings for "<page>"." Is there a way for me to to fix this personally, or is it server-side?

:Added note: I ''can'' add and remove things from my watchlist using the check box when editing, but not the button on the top of the page.

== Adding a link outside of Bulbapedia for an English voice actor credit. ==
How would I add a link outside of Bulbapedia but make it show up with the small number at the end. I want to add some English voice actors for pokemon masters but am not sure how to do that without showing the whole  website url in the English voice text box of the
text table. [[User:KingOfStale|KingOfStale]] ([[User talk:KingOfStale|talk]]) 09:50, 11 September 2021 (UTC)
:I believe you're referring to footnotes. You can add a footnote by enclosing the content of the footnote in <code><nowiki><ref></ref></nowiki></code>. To add an external link, enclose it in <code><nowiki>[ ]</nowiki></code>, and you can add a text description after the space.
:For example, to add a citation of https://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-news/pokemon-master-journeys-the-series-available-now-on-netflix/ , you would write the following:
:<pre><ref>[https://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-news/pokemon-master-journeys-the-series-available-now-on-netflix/ Official Pokémon site]</ref></pre> --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 10:37, 11 September 2021 (UTC)
