→Reversion of Special abilities section initiative
| Line 256: | Line 256: | ||
I expected that edit to be reverted in a flash due to not being protocol or whatever, so here goes the discussion. Your comment: "''I am aware other pages do this, but this not meant to be a list of moves learned (even rare ones) we try to limit this only to signature moves.''" I am not aware other pages do this, which pages do this? Of course it's not meant to be a list of moves learned, those are in the Learnset sections, what are you getting at? Summarizing which "rare" moves the various species can learn by leveling up, in their Special abilities sections, was clearly my intention, and if I may say so, an almost objective improvement of these sections, spot on in terms of subject matter. Full implementation would of course wait until a threshold has been decided and Generation VI has been launched. Instead of telling me that it's not protocol, and you prefer to only include "signature moves", why don't you explain why you think my initiative is not a good idea, which will improve these sections? Or in case you're not acting out of direct disagreement, refer me to whoever it is you think you're pleasing by reverting this initiative of mine.

:Many pages provide a list of "notable" or rarely learned moves. As for which pages, pretty much every Pokemon species page we have. {{p|Bulbasaur}} alone is a good example of what I mean. The problem here is that we do not want ''any moves'' other than signature moves or previously signature moves listed in a Pokemon's biology section. The reason they have not been removed yet is because of an upcoming change in the biology section. It'll be easier to make the changes together instead of making many individual edits. I actually did not remove your edit due to any protocol regarding changes. Although, as I have told you before, any change that will affect or be implented on a large number of pages should be discussed before it is implemented anywhere. New ideas should not be tested in the mainspace. Mainspace testing creates large inconsistencies across pages, as well as a couple of other problems. Please, if you have an idea for a change, bring it up with staff first or test it in your userpace. Thanks.

::The Bulbasaur article lists 13 moves, and uses colorful language. By my method, using a threshold, only 1 move (i.e. Seed Bomb (Bulbasaur does not learn Power Whip or Bullet Seed by leveling up)) would be listed, and it would not be presented in colorful language. As such, I think that is a horrible example, and focusing on these supposed similar instances in your reply derails the discussion - I don't know of any, so they played no role in my editing. You say that you (we) do not want any moves other than "signature moves" listed, but I asked you to explain this opinion, not repeat it. And I don't see how this initiative has to interfere with these "upcoming changes", which I have no idea what are about, as you ignored to elaborate on them back in April at my talk page, section "Examples in the Mainspace". It's not really testing, neither was the Tynamo edit, which you similarly reprimanded me on back in April; they're single edits, improving the encyclopedic article, breaking no rules whatsoever, not forcing other articles to follow suit, and even easy to revert. You're telling me to bring it up with staff first, and at the same time, you (a member of staff) refuse to actually discuss this initiative upon my invitation, right here. I don't know what to make of that, really. And I've used talk pages a lot, when my ideas involve large changes, but you can see for yourself how much that has achieved so far, even when people do agree with me. I feel like you have a habit of [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Tynamo_%28Pok%C3%A9mon%29&diff=1889491&oldid=1889385 just] [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Tynamo_%28Pok%C3%A9mon%29&diff=1889494&oldid=1889491 removing] [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Tynamo_%28Pok%C3%A9mon%29&diff=1889505&oldid=1889494 content] without addressing the idea itself, [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Tynamo_%28Pok%C3%A9mon%29&diff=1889494&oldid=1889491 sometimes without even making sense]. This is without mentioning your actions (or lack thereof) in relation to the matter "discussed" on your talk page, section "Move trivia". I've even got a section on my own talk page named after you, completely incognito, out of the blue, still clueless as to how that came about. If you have to disapprove of an idea, can't you at least engage in dialogue about the actual idea, or otherwise leave the reversions to people who are willing to do so?
