Thank you, and have a good time editing here! |
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! --Landfish7 08:50, 29 April 2022 (UTC)
A couple of things
Please make sure to use link templates whenever necessary, and there's also no need to italicize Pokémon names as that is not something we do here. Thank you.--ForceFire 08:59, 9 May 2022 (UTC)
Your signature
Hey, I've noticed on Talk:Rellor (Pokémon)#Evolution and checking facts, that you appear to have customized your signature. Could you make sure it (also) reflects your username, though (as per the final guideline of our signature policy)? That ensures everyone can properly attribute your comments.

Pokédex images
When adding the Paldean Pokédex images to Pokémon articles, please be aware of the following details:
- Even if a Pokémon's name ends in an "s", an "s" should still be added after the apostrophe.
- "Image" should be written with a small "i", as it's not a name or at the start of a sentence.
- Bonus: This is optional, but I think the image frame would look better with rounded corners.
Thank you. --FinnishPokéFan92 (talk) 15:20, 28 November 2022 (UTC)
- If you think it looks better, feel free to make those changes to the established template going forward. Lewtwo (talk) 15:21, 28 November 2022 (UTC)
- I will eventually, but given how many pages there are, help would be appreciated if possible. --FinnishPokéFan92 (talk) 16:07, 28 November 2022 (UTC)

- That looks pretty good. --FinnishPokéFan92 (talk) 20:40, 28 November 2022 (UTC)
Rika image
For the Rika image, I am not using AI, I have no idea how to use AI anyways, I got it off the fandom (https://pokemon.fandom.com/wiki/Rika). --CuteSylveon42 (talk) 17:54, 17 May 2023 (UTC)
Template placement
For future reference: the stub template is usually placed at the bottom of the page instead of the top. --FinnishPokéFan92 (talk) 16:25, 30 August 2023 (UTC)
Helpful hints
- Use link templates to avoid redirect links, such as
{{game}}
or{{game2}}
for game links before Generation VI. - In case you're not sure if a link is a redirect link or not, use the preview button to check if it is.
{{color2}}
is a good template to use in case you want links of another color.- The plural form of a link can be written as (using an example link) [[Double Battle]]s as opposed to [[Double Battle|Double Battles]].
- Don't use "&" in place of "and" unless you're copying a text or name where it is used.
- Thsnks. --FinnishPokéFan92 (talk) 20:15, 30 August 2023 (UTC)
Wayback Machine
Are you sure you're entering things into the Wayback Machine? The link you put on Professor Willow says it has no saves of it (I've since entered the link to save but there's a queue of a few hours). glikglak 03:05, 21 November 2023 (UTC)
Creating new pages
Hi! I just wanted to let you know a few important things when creating new pages:
- Please make sure to add relevant categories to any new pages you create, such as Category:Game staff for Takato Utsunomiya or Category:Japanese Pokémon Center collections for WAKKA de IKKA. You can do this by adding a link to the category near the bottom of the page, like you did with
[[Category:TCG illustrators]]
on zounouse's page. Almost all pages should have a category, as it prevents them from showing up on Special:UncategorizedPages and also lets users navigate between related pages via the category listings. - To keep the references from showing up below things like navigation templates or the project notice, you can use
<references/>
or{{reflist}}
to display the references list exactly where you want it. - When making new pages based off an existing page, make sure to remove any irrelevant interwiki links. For example, on zounose's page, the code
[[it:Tika Matsuno]]
added an "In other languages" link to the sidebar to Tika Matsuno on our Italian affiliate, which wouldn't be appropriate on zounose's page. You can just remove this code on new pages, and BulbaBot will add the relevant links if and when the other wiki makes a page on the subject. BulbaBot can't tell if an interwiki link was just copy-and-pasted and isn't supposed to be there, so please remove incorrect ones to keep it from getting confused.
