I just need the template page to be created so I can I fill it in and use it for the Super Training page. Once again, sorry for the bother and pardon my sudden request. Since this was my first time creating a template, I learned it by using the rdex and ndex codes. This doesn't create a plagiarism issue does it? If I only use the other codes as reference and base for the new ones I will create. Thanks in advance! [[User:Samhiuy|Samhiuy]] ([[User talk:Samhiuy|talk]]) 12:12, 5 August 2014 (UTC)

:We need templates to be tested and then approved by staff before they're put in the template namespace. Usually, this is done in the userspace (and not included in the daily limit), but as a new user that won't work for you. So i've made them as subpages of the bulbapedia sandbox, so that you should be able to edit them. [[Bulbapedia:Sandbox/Balltype/h]] and [[Bulbapedia:Sandbox/Balltype]]. If you want to test them, use the talk page of one of them and call it as you would a normal template, but using the full page name.

:It's definitely okay to make new templates based on the code of old ones.

I attempted to create [[Template:Sdex|Sdex]] based on what is already at [[Template:Rdex|Rdex]] (originally I used Adex but canceled that) and attempted to add "Ability" to the end of it.  Unfortunately, a lot of things aren't clicking, proving that I know - well - very little about how to edit these things.  A brief list:

* The "RGal" value (I will be changing the header, that's minor and on the page itself) does not populate.  I get the # sign, but the number is not going in.

== Template:Sidegame ==
I'd just like to inform you that there are several requests for changes to [[Template:Sidegame]] on [[Template talk:Sidegame|its talk page]], as you're the last user to edit that template (back in 2012) and no-one's responded to anything on that talk page for a very long time.

== Image issue ==
There's a MediaWiki problem that strangely appears on Bulbapedia and nowhere else where Wiki markup is used (I think, at least not on Super Mario Wiki) — it distorts images and makes them look the way they last appeared before being reuploaded. If you don't understand, look at the uploading history of <nowiki>[[File:Amelia.png|Amelia.png]]</nowiki> and tell me what you think. [[User:?8|???]][[User talk:?8|???]] 02:03, 1 May 2015 (UTC)
:Bulbapedia, and Bulbanews, use a {{wp|content delivery network}} (CDN) to provide images from the Bulbagarden Archives. This results in images being cached by the CDN, so they don't update immediately after they've been changed on the Archives. The image will eventually update on its own, just be patient. - [[User:Kogoro|'''<span class="sc" style="color:#DA70D6;">Kogoro</span>''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''<span class="sc" style="color:#FFB6C1;">Talk to me</span>''']] - 03:08, 1 May 2015 (UTC)
== Questions about some user groups ==
Hello why does the Widget editor, Technical Staff and Steward usergroups exist? They don't seem to be doing any good since the rights in Widget editor is also included in Senior Administrators and above and we don't have any stewards. --[[User:Raltseye|<span style="color:#FF6464">R</span><span style="color:#11BB11">alts</span>]][[User talk:Raltseye|<span style="color:#6890F0">e</span><span style="color:#6464FF">y</span><span style="color:#6890F0">e</span>]] 20:54, 10 February 2016 (UTC)
:These usergroups are there for either technical reasons (our multi-wiki setup means we have a few unusual things that are required) or as a leftover from previous staff structures/permissions (for example, Widgets were implemented after our current staff ranking system was in place, and so widget editing capability was granted only to people who needed it. It was subsequently granted to senior staff once we'd done some testing and figured out how tightly we needed to restrict access.) <span class="sc">[[User:Werdnae|<span style="color:#2D4B98;">Werdnae</span>]]</span> <small>[[User talk:Werdnae|<span style="color:#009000;">(talk)</span>]]</small> 02:24, 13 February 2016 (UTC)
== Wondercard/5 layout ==
Hi, I'm leaving you this message because you are one of the most recent contributors to the template {{template|Wondercard/5}}.
I have identified performance issues with this template, such as unnecessary rendering of hidden tables, and layout engine crashes on some browsers. I have proposed an alternate method to achieve the same visual layout with more lightweight markup at [[Project:Sandbox#Wonder Card Gen 5 mockup]]. It has been suggested at [[Template talk:Wondercard/5]], however, that all layout elements on this wiki must be HTML &lt;table>s, and never HTML &lt;div>s, &lt;blockquote>s, &lt;p>s, or any other element. As you are familiar with this template, I'd like your input on the matter, especially on whether you find the nested layout tables more helpful for editing than a lightweight equivalent.

== DPPt dataminers ==
By any chance, do you know who does most of the datamining for Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum for Bulbapedia? [[User:Sumwun|sumwun]] ([[User talk:Sumwun|talk]]) 00:05, 20 July 2017 (UTC)
==Hey there! Long time==
Hi! Hope you are doing well. I'm just messaging to mention that we've started a new ''Retired Staff'' usergroup, and you're in it! It's our new way of keeping track and giving thanks to anyone and everyone who has been a part of the Bulbapedia team. There are a number of user rights associated with it that can be discovered [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Special:ListGroupRights here]. If you ever find yourself editing again, you are welcome to one of the active usergroups as needed. Thanks for everything you have done!
