Welcome

Welcome to Bulbapedia, Ranko Hoshino!

As a new user, you may wish to learn a few things that will be useful in your editing:

  • For a basic overview of wiki code, see this page.
  • The manual of style is very important. Make sure to read it. It outlines all official policies of Bulbapedia.
  • The word Pokémon is spelled with a capital P and an accented é. The P, of course, is accessed easily by holding Shift and pressing the P key, while the é can be accessed using Alt + 130 or Alt + 0233 on a Windows computer, and Option + e, then e again on a Mac. Otherwise, you can click it in the character palette below the editbox.
  • The word Poké Ball is spelled as two words. The "Poké" part is identical to the four beginning letters in "Pokémon"; "Ball" is spelled with a captial B (which is, again, accessed by holding Shift and pressing the B key). The spelling "Pokéball" arises frequently, but is incorrect.
  • The word "you" and all forms of it should not be used on encyclopedic pages unless it is a quote from Pokémon media. Bulbapedia is an encyclopedia, not a walkthrough.
  • On talk pages, please sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).
  • The use of link templates is official policy. For an explanation on their use, see the page on shortlinks.
  • If you happen to spot a vandal in the recent changes that has not been dealt with, please see this page for how to deal with it.
  • A list of pages that are linked to, but have not been created, can be found at this page. A list of short articles that may require more information can be found here, while a list of articles that need improvement can be found here.
  • A list of the admins that you can contact in case of a problem, can be found here.

Thank you, and have a good time editing here! TESHIGIGAS 16:31, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

Edit Warring

Mean Look is described as a Normal move introduced in Generation II. So out of curiosity, what makes you suddenly think it's a Ghost type move? Also, stop adding it back to the article when it is reverted, this is considered edit warring and frowned upon. Thank you. Frozen Fennec 19:02, 14 June 2012 (UTC)

Apologies, fellow editor, it would appear I was in the wrong this time. I thought you were changing Mean Look to a Ghost type instead of adding Confuse Ray to the moves that Haunter had, my mistake... Frozen Fennec 19:13, 14 June 2012 (UTC)
That's quite alright. Ranko Hoshino (talk) 20:33, 14 June 2012 (UTC)
