Help! If anyone is reading this, (like an administrator,) it won't let me make my user page. It says that I don't have permission to edit things in the user namespace. I would like to be able to. I haven't done anything wrong, or much of anything, yet, for that manner, so please help! --Zewis29 10:50, 2 May 2010 (UTC)
- Hi Zewis29, I am an administrator. If you read the userspace policy linked above you will understand that you have to be an established user before you can create userspace pages. Please help Bulbapedia's article content grow before editing your personal userpage. Thanks. —darklordtrom 10:54, 2 May 2010 (UTC)
That's what I thought. Thank you very much! --Zewis29 10:58, 2 May 2010 (UTC)
- You thought right. I look forward to working with you. Before you get stuck in, could you do me a favour? Go to your userpage, click edit, and copypaste the message you get here. Cheers. —darklordtrom 11:03, 2 May 2010 (UTC)
OK, here it is:
You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reason: You do not have permission to edit pages in the User namespace. If you are a new user, you will need to edit existing articles before you can edit your userpage.
But it didn't have that last sentence before. Hey, how do you get a cool font on your signature? --Zewis29 11:09, 2 May 2010 (UTC)
- Aha! I changed the right page! Umm.... signature help is here. —darklordtrom 11:17, 2 May 2010 (UTC)
Got it. Thanks. I'll just keep editing. This is my new signature: ----[[User:Zewis29|<span style="color:green">Zewis</span>]] <small>''( 11:56, 2 May 2010 (UTC)
- And now you have to go to your preferences and put a check in the box. —darklordtrom 11:58, 2 May 2010 (UTC)
That didn't work... I'll just stick to this: --Zewis29 15:03, 2 May 2010 (UTC)
Link Templates
Please use link templates when linking to stuff such as Pokémon names, attacks, and the like. For example, {{p|Bulbasaur}} instead of just [[Bulbasaur]]. This is so you don't unintentionally link to a disambiguation page.
For a full crash course on link templates, look at the list of link templates. --Psyライダー☮ 15:48, 2 May 2010 (UTC)
Understood.--Zewis29 16:19, 2 May 2010 (UTC)
Preview button
The preview button, next to the save page button can be used to check what the page will look like when it is saved. For Gliscor you had the right idea, but link templates need Curly Brackets like this {{p|Staravia}}, as opposed to Square brackets like this [[p|Staravia]] If square brackets are used it will try to link to the first part (in this case a page called p) with the text of the second part.

I did not know that! I thought that there was a way to view the page. Thanks for the help with the brackets and stuff.--Zewis29 23:19, 4 May 2010 (UTC)
