== My History on [[Bulbapedia]] ==
I didn't exactly know the ropes when I joined Bulbapedia. First of all, I didn't know that mainspace had high priority over the userspace, so basically, I edited the userspace a lot at first. I had previously contributed to Wikipedia, but I didn't have any idea how different it'd be from Bulbapedia.
 
One of the first things I learned on Bulbapedia, was that the preview button is key! I learned that after editing on my userpage a zillion times to get my signature looking right.


*'''''I am frequently undoing edits that are too obvious/already mentioned in the article/untrue'''''
[[Ranger Base]] was the first article I have ever made on Bulbapedia, and it wasn't too shabby. Though it wasn't easy, with a bit of a {{p|Hoppip|hop,}} {{p|Skiploom|skip,}} and {{p|Jumpluff|a jump,}} I finally was starting to get the hang of the rules and regulations on Bulbapedia. 


== My History on Bulbapedia ==
Another important thing I learned about on Bulbapedia is too NEVER, MAKE A SOCKPUPPET ACCOUNT. I had done so to vandalise a page to prove that it could be vandalised due to not being protected. I got caught ever so easily and was banned for a while. If you REALLY need to make an alternate account, ask an admin first.  
I had a bad start to Bulbapedia. I would always be talking on the Userspace and it became accesive. Eventually I learned that most of your edits should be on the mainspace. It was really hard to get used to Bulbapedia. I had no idea how different it was from Wikipedia. I made a zillion edits just to get my signature changed.


Eventually, I got better and even created [[Ranger Base|my first mainspace page]]. I had a few slip-ups but eventually got used to Bulbapedia. I made many productive edits. I was suprised at how many edits I made that no one got angry at or found unproductive.  
After a small time away from Bulbapedia, I came back and started fresh. I started making more productive edits, with a few slip-ups along the way.
After making tons of miscellaneous edits, I started finding a trend of things I liked to do that I knew I could help out with. (see "Notes") 


The only really bad thing I have ever done was make a sock-puppet just to prove something. Which I didn't realize how bad it was until I saw the front page at the time. After a small time away from Bulbapedia I came back and started fresh. I started making tons of useful edits (and a few mistakes in my knowledge of Pokemon of course). Some of my edits and suggestions were even approved by a few admins.
Later, I began joining some Bulbapedia projects.  


I, eventually, found a main focus to my edits. (look at the "notes" above)
By this point in time I learned a lot of things that I wish I knew when I first joined, so as to help out new users, I created a [[User:Landfish7#Fishy Advice|list of useful things for new users]] on my userpage!


Later, I had started working with some of the Bulbapedia projects. Even though the Pokémon articles were blocked that didn't stop me from using the talk page. Even though they are blocked to regular users, the Admins, could still edit it. So my way of making edits to the pages was by requesting them to Admins on the respective talk pages. I also have started a little project on Project MoveDex that has to deal with moves in the manga. For more info on that click this →[[Bulbapedia talk:Project MoveDex|♫]]
On Project MoveDex, I had come up with one of my most productive ideas I've ever came up with on the wiki. For more info on that, click this. →[[Bulbapedia talk:Project MoveDex|♫]]


A while had passed, and I had became better at making contributions involving "BulbaCode" and making good contributions in general.
One important thing to learn on the 'pedia is the coding. It's very different from other wikis and Wikipedia. The way I learned is by looking at the codes and tweaking things to see what breaks. After a while, I got better (I'm still not perfect) at editing the coding of articles. If I do have trouble though, I usually just make an edit request on the respective talk page.  


However, things began to get off track again with too many Trivia items and not enough productive edits. So, I had turned things around and took a [[User:Midnight Blue|certain user's advise]] and started making several productive edits. I have even began to make bigger edits like moving pages, and [[Jenny (movie)|making pages]].
I've always like trivia sections, however, at one point, trivia became the only thing I edited. After taking a [[User:Midnight Blue|certain user's advise]], I stopped editing trivia sections, and instead, started removing useless trivia. (See "Notes") My edits started becoming better and better, I even began moving pages and [[Jenny (movie)|making pages]].


Recently, I have started using Firefox instead of Internet Explorer to contribute to Bulbapedia. I have learned the big differences and what Bulbapedia is ''supposed'' to look like. Anyway, I'll still use Internet Explorer if I want to do something real quick.
Lately, I've started using Firefox to view Bulbapedia, or if I'm editing the code on a page. I still use Internet Explorer to make quick edits to an article or too add to a discussion on a talk page. If you see what Bulbapedia is supposed to look like on Firefox, you'll never want to see it through IE.  


I have made [[Zoroark (movie 13)|2 new]] [[Legendary beasts (movie 13)|pages]] about [[M13|Ruler of Illusions: Zoroark]], which came out in Japan recently. I've learned about making pages in the userspace before sending them to the mainspace as well!!
I have made [[Zoroark (movie 13)|2 new]] [[Legendary beasts (movie 13)|pages]] about [[M13|Master of Illusions: Zoroark]], which came out in Japan recently. This is when I learned about making pages in the userspace before making it in the mainspace, and then getting permission from an admin to add it to the mainspace. (See "Fishy Advice")


Because of school I haven't been able to do much and just have been roaming the encyclopedia looking for missing bits. Meanwhile, one thing I am working on is looking through the new pages for Generation 5 to take out speculation! Also, I have started my own personal project to create redirects that I believe are necessary.

I hope to be a greater contributor as I move on in Bulbapedia without many more mistakes. I'll do anything for Bulbapedia to help make it the greatest Pokémon Encyclopedia ever♫.

**For example, if there was a trainer in the anime known as "Derik", and people called him "Diddy" and you searched "Diddy" and found that the page didn't exist, you could create the page and make it redirect to "Derik" by putting this in <nowiki>"#redirect [[Derik]]"</nowiki> and saving. Then, if someone searched "Diddy" it would automatically go to "Derik".
