Welcome to Bulbapedia, Jivan!

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!

Airdates

Do not assume airdates. The episodes could be pushed back due to some unforeseen circumstance, which seems very likely in this current situation. Thank you.--ForceFire 08:48, 25 April 2020 (UTC)

Series pages

Please don't create pages related to the series renaming, don't just do as you please. The staff will handle them on their own as it will cause significant strain on the servers if we just let normal users do it themselves. The series moves especially will cause significant strain on the servers, hence why it's being done on a later date rather than concurrently with the episode moves.--ForceFire 10:15, 21 May 2020 (UTC)

Original series

The editorial board has already decided against moving the original series and its related articles. If you'd like to know why, ask on the talk page. Thank you.--ForceFire 07:20, 8 June 2020 (UTC)

There already is a topic. DarkDan asked and only got the reply from someone as in the dark as he was. Personally I’m a bit perplexed as to the secrecy being kept--KnightGalarie (talk) 07:29, 8 June 2020 (UTC)

Templates

Templates must be approved before being used in the mainspace. If you'd like your templates used, please bring them up on a talk page or message someone on staff. Tiddlywinks (talk) 23:38, 17 August 2020 (UTC)

"Kantonian"

Please don't add these distinction to the normal forms, as the normal forms aren't only found in Kanto as the name scheme would imply.--ForceFire 09:00, 12 September 2020 (UTC)

Why was the word "Kantonian" already used used on those pages before I made the edits? Jivan (talk) 09:42, 12 September 2020 (UTC)

Purrloin episode title tweak

What was your source for tweaking BW044's title? --FinnishPokéFan92 (talk) 13:14, 16 October 2020 (UTC)

Anime dex entries

Do not remove or change the dex entries, even if they just say "No data". The Pokemon was still scanned anyway.--ForceFire 05:08, 6 December 2020 (UTC)

Relying on subs

Do not rely on subs for gender confirmation, subbers will often take liberties and add pronouns when there was no pronouns stated, as is the case here. No once did the characters mention a gender, they were all added by the subbers.--ForceFire 08:28, 3 September 2022 (UTC)

X

I just wanted to let you know that I saw you changes several social media Twitter references to pipe to X.com. I reverted those changes because as long as Twitter is still the main domain name and X.com is just a redirect to Twitter which is the more recognisable domain, we should be using the un-redirected Twitter urls. If Musk for some reason decides to kill the twitter domain we can always run a text replacement at that point in time. 4iamking 11:23, 25 July 2023 (UTC)

The Preview Button

Instead of editing a page several times in a row, try using the preview button to make sure your edit looks the way you want it to. It's right next to the Save Page button. Please try it out, so as not to clog up the Recent Changes. Also, if you want to edit multiple sections of the page, make sure that you click "edit this page" at the top of the page rather than editing it by section. Thanks! --FinnishPokéFan92 (talk) 08:59, 13 March 2024 (UTC)

I do use the "Show preview" button, its just I sometimes only notice things after I hit the "Save changes" button. --Jivan (talk) 09:23, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
That's understandable. Just be aware that you can edit multiple segments at once by choosing to edit the whole page. --FinnishPokéFan92 (talk) 09:34, 13 March 2024 (UTC)

Horizons titles

Abcboy changed those Horizons titles you edited to match the title cards over the Pokémon.com and Netflix titles. You should probably talk with him about it if you think they should be this way instead. --FinnishPokéFan92 (talk) 11:39, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
