Hi, I was asked to organize some pages and I need more specific information. Do pages for the Light Trio's Pokémon (Nebby, Lunala, and Necrozma) go to specific pages for those Pokémon as this discussion[[https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Talk:Light_trio_(anime)]] suggests?

I sent the contents of the [[Light trio (anime)|anime page]] to the main [[Light trio]] page and left it only as subsections.

The new format for type properties is great! I'm so happy to know I'll see it every time I'll go on a type page. There's just one thing I'd change. Offensive and defensive properties tables are now separated with a big gap, same as the gap between generations. This could be a little confusing and intimidating to see, for example, to see six seperate tables instead of three sets. What if instead of separating them with '''<nowiki><br></nowiki>''', these tables could just use '''<nowiki>margin-bottom:3px;</nowiki>''' property?--'''[[User:Team Rocket Grunt|<span style="color:#CC0000">Rocket</span>]] [[User talk:Team Rocket Grunt|<span style="color:#666666">Grunt</span>]]''' 13:27, 7 October 2023 (UTC)

== Creating templates ==
Excuse me, are you the wrong person to ask about creating templates on my user subpage?
You're a very respected staff member here, and if you know about templates, I would love to ask you questions to learn from your rich experience!  [[User:Solemn Mac|Solemn Mac]] ([[User talk:Solemn Mac|talk]]) 16:31, 22 October 2023 (UTC)
== Sandbox content ==
Hi Landfish7,
You cleaned out the sandbox a couple of weeks ago. In the sandbox, there was some information placed by a user who has since gotten banned. Although I strongly condemn temper tantrums, this user may have been cooking. Would it be acceptable for me to host this content on a userpage?
Thanks  --[[User:Apopheniac|Apopheniac]] ([[User talk:Apopheniac|talk]]) 13:49, 1 December 2023 (UTC)
:Yes that should be fine. Thanks for asking! [[User:Landfish7|<span style="font-family:Tahoma;color:#00d1bc">'''Land'''</span>]][[User talk:Landfish7|<span style="font-family:Tahoma;color:#006699"><small>'''fish7'''</small></span>]] 02:12, 3 December 2023 (UTC)
== Unite Link Template ==
Hi, thanks for mainspacing [[Special:PermanentLink/3869121|User:PikaTepig999/Unite]] to {{template|UNITE}}. However, shouldn't it be named ''Un'' or ''Uni'', to serve as a shorthand? → [[User:PikaTepig999|<span style="color:#000;">Pika</span>]][[User talk:PikaTepig999|<span style="color:#000;">Tepig</span>]][[Special:Contribs/PikaTepig999|<span style="color:#000;">999</span>]] 21:06, 6 December 2023 (UTC)
:I checked with another staff member and they said 'UNITE' should be fine. Matches the game title and is the most clear and intuitive. Saving a couple characters would be nice but not really essential. [[User:Landfish7|<span style="font-family:Tahoma;color:#00d1bc">'''Land'''</span>]][[User talk:Landfish7|<span style="font-family:Tahoma;color:#006699"><small>'''fish7'''</small></span>]] 21:19, 6 December 2023 (UTC)
::A shorter name would also have matched most of [[Bulbapedia:List_of_link_templates#Pure_disambiguation|existing disambiguation templates]]. But if this has been given the okay, that works too. Thanks again. → [[User:PikaTepig999|<span style="color:#000;">Pika</span>]][[User talk:PikaTepig999|<span style="color:#000;">Tepig</span>]][[Special:Contribs/PikaTepig999|<span style="color:#000;">999</span>]] 21:27, 6 December 2023 (UTC)
:::I getchu. I think we've been trying to improve our link templates to be more accessible, easy to use, and easy to remember, so that's sort of the idea with the name of this one. Older link templates are sort of just legacied in, although we've had ideas for replacing or merging some of them in ways that are more straightforward and user-friendly.

== Type Page Template Change ==
I noticed just a bit ago that the pages for the individual types were edited a couple months ago to adhere to a "new format", which included getting rid of the 'Characteristics' subheading and moving the glut of that info to the 'Trivia' section. I could not find any particular announcement or discussion on-site about this change, and was curious about when this change was decided on and what the particular reason was. --[[User:MintBlancmanche|MintBlancmanche]] ([[User talk:MintBlancmanche|talk]]) 14:19, 9 December 2023 (UTC)([[User talk:MintBlancmanche|talk]])
:This was an internal decision made in September, as the content consisted of strategy tips and synthesis uncharacteristic of Bulbapedia, and trivial matters were moved to trivia. Any functional content was moved to Additional effects in the Battle properties section. [[User:Landfish7|<span style="font-family:Tahoma;color:#00d1bc">'''Land'''</span>]][[User talk:Landfish7|<span style="font-family:Tahoma;color:#006699"><small>'''fish7'''</small></span>]] 17:02, 9 December 2023 (UTC)
:: I see, that all makes sense. Thank you for the answer! {{unsigned|MintBlancmanche}}
:::Happy I could help. By the way, while I've you got you here, always remember to sign your comments with four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>) or by pressing the signature button ([[File:Signature button.png]]) in the toolbar at the top of the edit window, rather than adding your signature manually or by copying from a previous comment. This is the easiest way to sign, and ensures that the signature and correct timestamp are properly displayed. Thank you.

==Iono page==
One of Lewtwo's bad edits had removed several sections from the Iono page. Could you help me fix it as your edit messed up my fixing it and I do not want to waste time starting over for now. -[[User:Tyler53841|Tyler53841]] ([[User talk:Tyler53841|talk]]) 22:07, 19 December 2023 (UTC)

:::Sorry, but anyway at least I figured out to modify the edit history abit to fix the issue. -[[User:Tyler53841|Tyler53841]] ([[User talk:Tyler53841|talk]]) 22:21, 19 December 2023 (UTC)
::::In the future, if you're making such a fix, I'd try to do so in a way that doesn't remove info that has been added since the older revision. I know that can be more complicated, but we don't want to remove a significant amount of info without explanation.
