As a new user, you may wish to learn a few things that will be useful in your editing:
|-
*For a basic overview of wiki code, see [[Help:Editing|this page]].
|
*The {{bp|manual of style}} is very important. Make sure to read it. It outlines all official policies of Bulbapedia.
{| width="100%" style="background-color:#F5FFFA;"
*The word Pokémon is spelled with a capital '''P''' and an accented '''é'''. The P, of course, is accessed easily by holding Shift and pressing the P key, while the é can be accessed using Alt + 130 or Alt + 0233 on a Windows computer, and Option + e, then e again on a Mac. Otherwise, you can click it in the character palette below the editbox.

*On {{bp|talk page}}s, please sign your comments with four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>).

*If you happen to spot a vandal in the [[Special:Recentchanges|recent changes]] that has not been dealt with, please see {{bp|dealing with vandalism|this page}} for how to deal with it.

:You are totally right: I honestly ''don’t'' wish to be contentious or erase ''commentary''. I only erased the welcome template, I did '''NOT''' erase the ''comments'' that Obi made at the same time - and it wasn’t for no reason. As I noted in [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=User_talk:WikidSmaht&diff=786605&oldid=786599 the edit summary], I erased the welcome template because while it was a nice thought, it was not relevant - I am not a new user, I am familiar with the items linked from the template, and I have actually been here longer than Obi( who originally tried to add the template, Kenji-girl merely corrected his improper use of it).

:::Oh, honestly! What a perfectly ludicrous thing to insist on or have an edit war over! Fine, I have no intention of wasting more time on this. It can stay for the moment. --WikidSmaht 02:15, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
:::Oh, honestly! What a perfectly ludicrous thing to insist on or have an edit war over! The template did not even EXIST when I joined, other users from that time don’t have it. But fine, I have no intention of wasting more time on this right now. It can stay for the moment. Also, 200'''6'''. --WikidSmaht 02:15, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

Seeking a bit of advice: how does one get a name change here, I noticed you’ve had two? I tried looking through all the Bulbapedia policies and pages but I can’t seem to find it.
