Welcome
Welcome to Bulbapedia, Lucas The Pokemon Coordinator!
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 this page.
- The manual of style is very important. Make sure to read it. It outlines all official policies of Bulbapedia.
- 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.
- The word Poké Ball is spelled as two words. The "Poké" part is identical to the four beginning letters in "Pokémon"; "Ball" is spelled with a captial B (which is, again, accessed by holding Shift and pressing the B key). The spelling "Pokéball" arises frequently, but is incorrect.
- The word "you" and all forms of it should not be used on encyclopedic pages unless it is a quote from Pokémon media. Bulbapedia is an encyclopedia, not a walkthrough.
- On talk pages, please sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).
- The use of link templates is official policy. For an explanation on their use, see the page on shortlinks.
- If you happen to spot a vandal in the recent changes that has not been dealt with, please see this page for how to deal with it.
- A list of pages that are linked to, but have not been created, can be found at this page. A list of short articles that may require more information can be found here, while a list of articles that need improvement can be found here.
- A list of the admins that you can contact in case of a problem, can be found here.
Thank you, and have a good time editing here!PL1220:14, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
A few requests
1. Please do not edit anything on Zoey's Finneon. It has not debuted yet, so it should be kept as hidden.
2. Also, do not link to the article Zoey's Finneon, as it redirects to Zoey's page.
Pokémon Linking
The way you're linking Pokémon is completely wrong. For example, instead of [[Pokemon|Mothim]], please use {{p|Mothim}}. Using the P link template is how Pokémon linking works around here.
For a guide to how link templates in general work, look at the shortlinks. --Shiningpikablu252 22:03, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
Kanto Grand Festival
Please do not change May's placing to read "2nd place". For May to have been in 2nd place, May vs. Solidad would have to have been the final. May vs. Solidad was a semifinal, NOT the final. Inserting false information is a blockable offense. --Shiningpikablu252 02:21, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
