::::I have no problem with this. I was actually looking at developing my own, but I'd have put fancy green borders around the section headers, just to make it look like the welcome template. I can understand how that would annoy people though. I really appreciate the work you've put in Clarky13; this covers quite a lot. evkl, you know my opinions about the MoS, but I don't think this is too huge. Unlike the MoS, everything is broken up into small sections, and it covers everything new users would need to know. In short, it's a one-stop shop for all Bulbapedia conventions and policies. True, there is still work to be made to this, but it explains most of the things that new users find challenging to comprehend if they have no wiki experience. IMO, it would benefit from links to the MoS and CoC, and maybe a mention of the shortlinks and signature policy, as these are main problems I see new users struggle with, after our now defunct userspace edit cap. All up though, very nice, if I was a new user intending to contribute I'd give this a good look through. My biggest problem is that we'd have to reorganize the welcome template!! &mdash; <small>[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|<font color="#0000C8">THE TROM</font></small>]] &mdash; 07:38, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

:::::Thanks very much, Trom. I first got the idea when my friend told me he didn't now how to work Bulbapedia. That got me thinking for a bit. You can make it better visually if you want. I hear your very good at templates. Thank for all the editing, you did with it , I'm terrible at grammar and spelling. Yeah, I was thinking about the Welcome template too. I'm sure it'll fit somewhere. -- [[User:Clarky13|<span style="color:#0000FF;">'''Clarky'''</span>]][[User talk:Clarky13|<span style="color:#000000;">'''13'''</span>]] 08:06, 17 January 2009 (UTC)
