By creating your account you are now able to edit pages, join discussions, and expand the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia. Before you jump in, here are some ground rules: | |||
* Be nice to everyone. It's in the {{bp|code of conduct}}. | |||
* Make good edits. Preview them before you save to make sure they're perfect the first time around. | |||
* Use {{bp|wikicode}} and {{bp|link templates}} when adding content to a page. | |||
* Use proper grammar and spelling, and read the {{bp|manual of style}}. | |||
* You can't create a userpage until you've added to the encyclopedia. It's a privilege. See the {{bp|userspace policy}}. | |||
* Use {{bp|Talk page policy|talk pages}} to resolve editing disputes. Don't "edit war," or constantly re-edit/undo the same thing on a page. | |||
* If you have a question about something, be proactive. Take a look at our {{bp|FAQ}}. If you're still stuck, ask for help. The {{bp|staff}} won't bite. | |||
* Sign all talk page posts with four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>). This will turn into your name and the time you wrote the comment. | |||
* For more handy links, see the {{bp|welcome|welcome portal}}. | |||

== Linking to pages == | |||
Please, when linking to a Pokemon's article, that you use link templates. For example, use <nowiki>{{p|Staraptor}}</nowiki> instead of <nowiki>[[Staraptor]]</nowiki>. [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] ([[User talk:Ataro|talk]]) 22:39, 28 February 2017 (UTC) | |||
:In anticipation of a question about this, I'll go ahead and link you to [[:Category:Link templates]]. --[[User:Felthry|Felthry]] ([[User talk:Felthry|talk]]) 22:41, 28 February 2017 (UTC) | |||
== Excessive Linking == | |||
Please don't link every instance of a word or Pokémon. As a general rule of thumb, if it has already been linked once in a section; it doesn't not need to be linked again. Thank you.--[[User:Force Fire|<span style="color:#F1912B">'''F'''</span><span style="color:#F6B775">orce</span>]][[User talk:Force Fire|<span style="color:#5599CA">'''F'''</span><span style="color:#90BDDC">ire</span>]] 15:32, 2 March 2017 (UTC) | |||
== Edit warring == | |||
I'm gonna leave this here instead of adding it to our current discussion. | |||
Please be aware that continually redoing an edit of yours that is undone is called [[edit warring]] and can result in a block. If there's a conflict, discussion is the proper solution. | |||
Additionally, if a staff member tells you something, it's generally advisable to follow their directions. You can discuss it and appeal it up the {{bp|staff}} ranks if you feel you need to eventually, but just ignoring directions is not appreciated. If you didn't realize I'm part of the staff, then I'll inform you now that the Poke Ball icon by my name (or any user's name) indicates this. One way or another you should at least have seen this when you went to undo my edits, so in the future, please keep this in mind. | |||
Thanks. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 22:54, 2 March 2017 (UTC) | |||
:If you're a staff member, then maybe you could answer my question about [[Spring Path]] that I left on your talk page. --[[User:RedHailfire|RedHailfire]] ([[User talk:RedHailfire|talk]]) 22:58, 2 March 2017 (UTC) | |||
::...Please give me time. There are a number of claims on my attention. (Which, frankly, would have been a bit lighter if you hadn't jumped to reverting to your edits. Just have a bit of patience please.) [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 23:02, 2 March 2017 (UTC) | |||
:::I reverted my edits back for a good reason. These areas are considered [[routes]], therefore deserving of route infoboxes. Also, it really isn't that hard for you to undo my edits, so it's not like it's some kind of tough job for you to do. --[[User:RedHailfire|RedHailfire]] ([[User talk:RedHailfire|talk]]) 23:07, 2 March 2017 (UTC) | |||
::::The main thing, like I said, is that you ignored directions from a staff member when you redid your edits. Even if you have perfect reasoning, if a staff member has told you directly not to do something, that does '''not''' make it okay for you to flout staff authority. If you're so right, discussion will work fine, and waiting won't kill you anyway. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 23:16, 2 March 2017 (UTC) | |||
:::::Alright, I will wait for now. You never once directly told me not to change the infoboxes; you asked me to trust you on your opinion that [[lakefront]]s aren't routes. So, according to your own words, I never was "told directly" to keep the infoboxes the way you made them. --[[User:RedHailfire|RedHailfire]] ([[User talk:RedHailfire|talk]]) 23:23, 2 March 2017 (UTC) | |||
::::::If you're quibbling like that, then you understand well enough what I mean. Please don't make the mistake of thinking that such rules lawyering will win an argument in the future. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 23:30, 2 March 2017 (UTC) | |||
:::::::I was pointing out the fact that you keep talking about "directions" that you gave me, when in reality, you never gave me any directions regarding the infoboxes. --[[User:RedHailfire|RedHailfire]] ([[User talk:RedHailfire|talk]]) 23:37, 2 March 2017 (UTC) | |||
::::::::I tried to couch it nicely. I didn't want to come down hard on a new user/newly asked topic. Let me put it this way: if you're going to start discussion, try to finish it and leave alone whatever you're trying to resolve in the meantime. That should be the ''purpose'' of discussion: resolving a matter without edit warring. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 23:54, 2 March 2017 (UTC) | |||
:::::::::I understand what you're saying, I just wanted to make a point. --[[User:RedHailfire|RedHailfire]] ([[User talk:RedHailfire|talk]]) 23:57, 2 March 2017 (UTC) | |||
== Preview button == | |||
Please use the preview button and read your edits through before saving the page. There's no reason to be altering a talk page message five times in under three minutes. <small>[[User:Glik|glik]]</small><sup>[[User talk:Glik|glak]]</sup> 01:03, 3 March 2017 (UTC) | |||
== | ==Talk Page Comments== | ||
Removing talk page comments, including the initial welcome template, is prohibited per Bulbapedia's {{bp|talk page policy}}. Please do not remove any comments in the future. If you wish to clean old comments away, you should archive your talk page instead. Thank you! --[[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 19:01, 9 March 2017 (UTC) | |||
