Could you possibly use the preview button when editing that page, you can also edit the entire page all at the same time and add one humungous, informative edit instead of many small edits.

What is all this talk about "berry affinities?" Buizel likes the Wacan Berry? Donphan likes the Passho Berry? I have a hunch this is all fanon. [[User:Dialgarules|Dialgarules]] 00:14, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

::OK, OK, they're not fanon. But please remember that we're trying to be "Grammatically correct." Their means something that belongs to they/them; They're means they are.

== It was mentioned previously but.. ==
Possibly consider using the preview button more often when editing. Even if you're positive it'll turn out how you want it, it'd better to be safe than sorry (and not to mention it'd also prevent flooding the Recent Changes).

== Couple things ==
First, breaking down the Egg Groups is kinda pointless. We don't do it for types, so not notable. Second, don't remove spaces after stars (*), in fact, if you see them without, add them. -- '''[[User:MAGNEDETH|<span style="color:#000033;">MAG</span>]][[Special:Contributions/MAGNEDETH|<span style="color:#696969;">NE</span>]][[User talk:MAGNEDETH|<span style="color:#000033;">DETH</span>]]''' 04:49, 28 February 2012 (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!  --[[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 22:55, 16 February 2015 (UTC)
== Linking ==
Hey there! I just wanted to let you know that when you're linking to a page, using spaces is preferred rather than using underscores. So, for example, this: <code><nowiki>[[Undiscovered (Egg Group)]]</nowiki></code> is what Bulbapedia uses, and not this: <code><nowiki>[[Undiscovered_(Egg_Group)]]</nowiki></code>. Thanks!

== Could you please help me with making an "R"-ticle? (Pun aside, an article for R)  ==
I need some help. I saw that [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Berserk_Gene&diff=2757780&oldid=2757647 you made this change for Berserk Gene] & I thought you'd be a great person to ask. Anyway, currently [[R]] redirects to [[Trainer Tower#In the Pokémon Adventures manga]]. However, R is actually an important substance in the Detective Pikachu game. I created [[User:Unowninator/R]] as per the advice of Chosen, but... I'm really bad at Language Arts, so I'm just can't write a whole article by myself. Can you please help me write it?
