→Removing datamined information without cause
| Line 32: | Line 32: | ||
Hi, just so you're aware, nearly all game stats, mechanics, and other "not explained ingame" information on Bulbapedia is provided by datamining the games. Bulbapedia has a policy against posting information related to leaks, not datamined information readily available in a currently released game. Please do not continue to revert edits on the basis that "the game already contains some information about the DLC" is equivalent to a leak or "spoilers" and should be censored.<br>Additionally, public announcements such as the DLC announcement video for Scarlet and Violet are also very much not violating any policy, information provided by official announcements is fair game for being documented. If this was not the case, we would need to scrub all the mechanics pages for the last several generations, all game stats from individual Pokémon pages, etc. We also have existing template that cover warning readers about things that are considered "major game spoilers", which already existing Pokémon will appear in an upcoming DLC does not constitute a major spoiler.<br>If you consider it a spoiler, or you believe datamined information should not be on Bulbapedia, that is personal opinion, not policy, and should not be used as your basis for making edits, or dictating the content allowed on Bulbapedia pages.

:This is the worst take imaginable and completely ignores what my intention or point is. But I don't really give enough of hoot to deal with it longer, so do what you want I guess.

::You hid a list of Pokémon that will not have any Switch game compatibility from the '''''trivia''''' section of the HOME page, twice, with the comments that "it was a spoiler", and "non-concrete" despite the information being from a reliable datamined source, already available in the Scarlet and Violet code. If you had some other intention or point, it wasn't apparent, it really just looked like hiding content for the sake of "I think this is a spoiler/don't trust datamined sources". The source(s) used for that section are fairly reliable and hasn't given false information in the past, for reference.
