+Thank you for joining our community!  By creating an account you are now able to edit pages, join discussions, and expand the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia. This is a brief introduction to Bulbapedia's rules and resources to help you get started:
-* Be nice to everyone. It's in the {{bp|code of conduct}}.
+* All users are expected to follow the {{bp|code of conduct}} and to be kind to one another.
-* Make good edits. Preview them before you save to make sure they're perfect the first time around.
+* If you have a question, check out our {{bp|FAQ}}; the {{bp|manual of style}} provides detailed editing guidance, and the {{bp|wikicode|wikicode page}} provides details about how to use wikicode.
-* Use {{bp|wikicode}} and {{bp|link templates}} when adding content to a page.
+** You can always ask for help by contacting a {{bp|staff}} member.
-* Use proper grammar and spelling, and read the {{bp|manual of style}}.
+* Please preview your edits before saving them; this helps you double-check your changes and reduces the need for repeated minor edits.
-* You can't create a userpage until you've added to the encyclopedia. It's a privilege. See the {{bp|userspace policy}}.
+* Use {{bp|Talk page policy|talk pages}} to discuss changes and resolve editing disputes.
-* Use {{bp|Talk page policy|talk pages}} to resolve editing disputes. Don't "edit war," or constantly re-edit/undo the same thing on a page.
+* Creating a userpage is allowed after you've added to the encyclopedia; for more details, see the {{bp|userspace policy}}.
-* If you have a question about something, be proactive. Take a look at our {{bp|FAQ}}. If you're still stuck, ask for help. The {{bp|staff}} won't bite.
+* Sign all talk page posts with four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>) so people know who is commenting. This will turn into your name and the time you wrote the comment.
