Writing synopsis

When writing synopsis for episodes of Pokémon, please take note of the following things, when adding links to Pokémon and move pages, we have specific templates for it, for example Muk and Ember. Also when editing, rather than making multiple edits, please check your post with the preview button before posting.--BigDocFan, Junior Admin Bulbapedia (talk) 21:31, 29 May 2023 (UTC)

Reminder: please try to avoid redirect links, and remember to use link templates. --FinnishPokéFan92 (talk) 18:04, 18 June 2023 (UTC)
Another reminder, Growl instead of Growl as an example.--BigDocFan, Junior Admin Bulbapedia (talk) 23:21, 15 July 2023 (UTC)
Please remember to use link templates (such as {{m}} for moves and {{p}} for Pokémon species) to avoid redirect links. Thank you. --FinnishPokéFan92 (talk) 12:14, 22 July 2023 (UTC)
And also remember to remove the "stub" template from the bottom of the page after finishing the synopsis too. --FinnishPokéFan92 (talk) 12:16, 22 July 2023 (UTC)
When writing synopsis, please use the correct templates such as Beheeyem instead of Beheeyem and Wattrel instead of Wattrel.--BigDocFan, Junior Admin Bulbapedia (talk) 19:22, 29 July 2023 (UTC)
To be precise: {{p|Beheeyem}} instead of [[Beheeyem]] and {{TP|Roy|Wattrel}} instead of [[Roy's Wattrel|Wattrel]]. --FinnishPokéFan92 (talk) 22:50, 6 August 2023 (UTC)
Also: when writing "Poké" or "Pokémon", don't forget to write the "e" as "é". --FinnishPokéFan92 (talk) 20:06, 16 August 2023 (UTC)
Could you try writing your synopsis in on go, maybe not on Bulbapedia and have a proof read of it before posting it, noticed you've made multiple edits to HZ021 whilst writing the synopsis.--BigDocFan, Junior Admin Bulbapedia (talk) 15:08, 9 September 2023 (UTC)

Overlinking

Hey there, just so you know, once you've linked something into a sentence or section, that article doesn't need to be linked to again. Linking to an article once in a while will suffice. Thank you.--ForceFire 07:21, 30 May 2023 (UTC)

HZ Protagonists

Please don't keep changing it that Liko is the main protagonist of Horizons, both she and Roy are protagonists so she is not the main one.--BigDocFan, Junior Admin Bulbapedia (talk) 15:46, 30 May 2023 (UTC)

The Preview Button

Instead of editing a page several times in a row, try using the preview button to make sure your edit looks the way you want it to. It's right next to the Save Page button. Please try it out, so as not to clog up the Recent Changes. Also, if you want to edit multiple sections of the page, make sure that you click "edit this page" at the top of the page rather than editing it by section. Thanks! --FinnishPokéFan92 (talk) 23:14, 4 June 2023 (UTC)

Just reminding you about the preview button, please check your spelling and grammar before posting summaries.--BigDocFan, Junior Admin Bulbapedia (talk) 15:11, 10 June 2023 (UTC)
Reminder: using the preview button, you'll be able to limit the amount of consecutive edits you have to make on a single page by making sure you do not make any grammar or spelling errors. --FinnishPokéFan92 (talk) 08:03, 7 August 2023 (UTC)

Hey there!

Hi! I've noticed that you linked to the Psychic page like this: [[Psychic (move)|Psychic]]. That's the long way to link directly to the page, but we have a series of shortcuts (i.e. {{m|Psychic}}) to make that whole process easier. For some links, like Pokémon names, it's required to use them to link to the right page! Now, I see that some other users have mentioned this up above, but I wanted to help clear up any confusion if you had questions. Please either reply via my talk page, reply here, or send me a private message here if those first two options don't interest you. I hope to hear back from you!

Polite reminder about along with a few new additions, instead of writing [[Liko's Hatenna|Hatenna]], please write {{TP|Liko|Hatenna}}, same with other trainers and Pokémon and when it comes to abilities, {{a|Weak Armor}} instead of [[Weak Armor]] just to give an example.--BigDocFan, Junior Admin Bulbapedia (talk) 14:23, 16 September 2023 (UTC)
