By creating your account you are now able to edit pages, join discussions, and expand the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia. Before you jump in, here are some ground rules:

  • Be nice to everyone. It's in the code of conduct.
  • Make good edits. Preview them before you save to make sure they're perfect the first time around.
  • Use wikicode and link templates when adding content to a page.
  • Use proper grammar and spelling, and read the manual of style.
  • You can't create a userpage until you've added to the encyclopedia. It's a privilege. See the userspace policy.
  • Use talk pages to resolve editing disputes. Don't "edit war," or constantly re-edit/undo the same thing on a page.
  • If you have a question about something, be proactive. Take a look at our FAQ. If you're still stuck, ask for help. The staff won't bite.
  • Sign all talk page posts with four tildes (~~~~). This will turn into your name and the time you wrote the comment.
  • For more handy links, see the welcome portal.
Thank you, and have a good time editing here!

Duplicate sections on "Staryu (Pokemon)" talk page

Hi Admins (wherever you are),

I was trying to add a section in the Staryu talk page and I forgot to sign off with the four tildes (*le gasp*)! When I tried to submit it I noticed the "conflict" message, so I thought my edit wasn't submitted yet. I tried to go back a page and edit it in there, but it turns out I made two of the same sections once I hit Submit the second time. Can any of you delete the first duplicate? Thanks.

The page in question is here. DecafSnorlax (talk) 07:24, 2 October 2016 (UTC)

Signing

If you forget to sign a comment, don't re-sign it as it gives off the wrong timestamp.--ForceFire 08:02, 2 October 2016 (UTC)

Sorry about that. Thank you! But doesn't un-signing remove the timestamp anyway? DecafSnorlax (talk) 08:19, 2 October 2016 (UTC)

The unsign template doesn't automatically show the timestamp, if that's what you mean.--ForceFire 08:36, 2 October 2016 (UTC)

Yeah, that's what I meant. I'm still very new to the editing stuff. Thanks again! DecafSnorlax (talk) 08:47, 2 October 2016 (UTC)

Responding to old talk page comments

Please note that it's against our talk page policy to add to a discussion that's been inactive for more than 6 months. The comments you tried to respond to on Talk:Deoxys (Pokémon) were 8 years old. If you want to bring that up, please make a new talk page section for it. Thanks. Pumpkinking0192 (talk) 15:33, 2 October 2016 (UTC)

Thanks. But now idk if I want to bring it up, since 1) it's been inactive for a really long time, as you said, and 2) it would make the talk pages a bit disorganised imo. So I don't wanna mess up anything.
