| Welcome to [[Bulbapedia]], {{BASEPAGENAME}}!
| |
|
| |
|
| As a new user, you may wish to learn a few things that will be useful in your editing:
| |
| *For a basic overview of wiki code, see [[Help:Editing|this page]].
| |
| *The {{bp|manual of style}} is very important. Make sure to read it. It outlines all official policies of Bulbapedia.
| |
| *The word [[Pokémon]] is spelled with a capital '''P''' and an accented '''é'''. The P, of course, is accessed easily by holding Shift and pressing the P key, while the é can be accessed using Alt + 130 or Alt + 0233 on a Windows computer, and Option + e, then e again on a Mac. Otherwise, you can click it in the character palette below the editbox.
| |
| *The word [[Poké Ball]] is spelled as two words. The "Poké" part is identical to the four beginning letters in "Pokémon"; "Ball" is spelled with a captial '''B''' (which is, again, accessed by holding Shift and pressing the B key). The spelling "Pokéball" arises frequently, but is incorrect.
| |
| *The word "you" and all forms of it should not be used on encyclopedic pages unless it is a quote from Pokémon media. Bulbapedia is an encyclopedia, not a walkthrough.
| |
| *On {{bp|talk page}}s, please sign your comments with four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>).
| |
| *The use of {{cat|link templates}} is official policy. For an explanation on their use, see the page on {{bp|shortlinks}}.
| |
| *If you happen to spot a vandal in the [[Special:Recentchanges|recent changes]] that has not been dealt with, please see {{bp|dealing with vandalism|this page}} for how to deal with it.
| |
| *A list of pages that are linked to, but have not been created, can be found at [[Special:Wantedpages|this page]]. A list of short articles that may require more information can be found {{cat|stubs|here}}, while a list of articles that need improvement can be found {{cat|articles needing improvement|here}}.
| |
| *A list of the admins that you can contact in case of a problem, can be found [[Special:Listusers/sysop|here]].
