Welcome
Welcome to Bulbapedia, Marillrocks!
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.
- Keep an eye on the Messages from the Editor on the main page, to stay informed on current events on Bulbapedia.
- The word Pokémon is spelled with a capital P and an accented é. The é can be accessed by holding Alt and typing either 130 or 0233 on a Windows computer, and by using Option + e, then e again on a Mac. Otherwise, you can easily 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 capital B. 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 or other 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.
- For a future capture, release, trade, or evolution of a Pokémon belonging to a main character of the anime, please do not create or move the page to reflect your suspicions, even if they are shared by many others. Policy here is to wait until the episode in which the event happens takes place is aired, unless there is substantial evidence for the suspicion (such as Brock's Happiny being held in his arms).
- Image uploading is done on Bulbagarden Archives, a separate wiki accessible through the toolbox in the sidebar. This is done so that both Bulbapedia and Bulbanews have access to the images uploaded. To activate your account at the Archives and Bulbanews, please login there using the same username and password you use here on Bulbapedia.
- If you want to make a page about a character you made up, please create it at User:Marillrocks/(name), not merely (name). Bulbapedia's main namespace is reserved for actual, official Pokémon, items, characters, and locations. Also, please try to make sure that subpages are not categorized by templates used within.
- Having said this, please make sure that you do contribute adequately to the main namespace. Bulbapedia is not MySpace or Facebook.
- 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! --CoolPikachu! 07:38, 12 July 2008 (UTC)
Onix's immunity to Electric...
Is the same as Geodude's. Caused by their secondary, Ground-type. You wouldn't go saying Fire's resistant to Ground, would you, just because Ground moves can't hit Charizard, Ho-Oh, and Moltres, right? TTEchidna 06:50, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
Please
Slow down on editing the User: namespace. There are only three userspace edits allowed per day, and you have gone over the limit. Editing your userpage too much will lead to it being locked again. Instead of making multiple small edits, why not instead use the preview button (Alt + Shift + P) to check your edits before saving the page? Thank you. ---- MAGNEDETH 23:35, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
Talk Page Comments
Please don't erase talk page comments for no reason. Trust me, you do NOT want to end up like Big Johnno, who got into an edit war with a sysop over comments the former had erased and was trying to keep erased. That user ended up blocked and subsequently had every erased comment restored. ---- MAGNEDETH 00:46, 27 October 2008 (UTC)
User Tags
I am so sorry... I didn't know... I am just figuring this out
Anyone know where I can find user tags??? - unsigned comment from Marillrocks (talk • contribs)
- Browse the user tags category, and see what you come up with. --((Marton imos)) 01:16, 27 October 2008 (UTC)
Thanks!marillrocks 01:20, 27 October 2008 (UTC)Marillrocks
Again
This is your second warning. Please refrain from editing the User: namespace too rapidly, or you will lose privileges. ---- MAGNEDETH 03:30, 27 October 2008 (UTC)
Im done, for a long time....
Can I still update pages on other sites (like Poképedia)?
- Stop at once! You have reached DOUBLE of the user:space limit!--☆Coolピカチュウ! 03:36, 27 October 2008 (UTC)
as I stated above... I am finished updating my page (nobody told me anything before). My question was can I update my other pages on other sites of different languages?marillrocks 03:38, 27 October 2008 (UTC)
- You can update your Poképedia page, our rules do not reflect their's. MaverickNate 03:38, 27 October 2008 (UTC)
Ok thanks... next question... is it possible to like the the accounts together since they are both wikipedia based? (I looked around to find samples of what to put on my user page, and I found that some people had pages in different langauges. How do I link the pages together?)marillrocks 03:41, 27 October 2008 (UTC)
- its impossible. we have a completely different set-up. as in, we use different tables than them. youre gonna have to start from scratch over there. -- MAGNEDETH 03:42, 27 October 2008 (UTC)
Thanks! Anyone know how to change signature?marillrocks 03:44, 27 October 2008 (UTC)
I am so sorry... I meant to copy my page from english (put it in a translator) and put it on the french site. I accidentally copied it back on to my Bulbapedia page and then had to copy it back to english since this is an english website... (damn firefox tabs) marillrocks 03:54, 27 October 2008 (UTC)
- fine, no more editing or we are obligated to lock your page. -- MAGNEDETH 03:56, 27 October 2008 (UTC)
I have noticed that some users have created their own regions on their pages, but put region info on a different page
Anyone know how to do that (Im kind of new to editing wikis)Maarrill-Rockss 00:21, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
Regions
I have noticed that some users have created their own regions on their pages, but put region info on a different page
Anyone know how to do that (Im kind of new to editing wikis) Marillrocks 04:56, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
- Regions involve fanfics, and fan pokemon. Im sorry, but those are not allowed.Youll have to blank it and tag it for deletion--DCM((Nag at Me!Edits))
Stop.
This is your final warning. Failure to comply with the limit on editing the User: namespace will cause you to lose the ability to edit it. --- Kogoro | Talk to me | 01:26, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
Look.
We don't allow fanon on BP, even in the userspace, so I'll have to delete your Shamrock Town page. However, you can take it to the fanon wiki, unaffiliated with BP and hosted by Wikia, but nevertheless, a place where fan content is tolerated and encouraged. --((Marton imos)) 01:25, 6 November 2008 (UTC)
Thanks!!!--Maarrill-Rockss 02:36, 6 November 2008 (UTC)
I am too n00bish...
You seem like you are quite savvy with that About Me column of "Little boxes with info and pictures in them telling people about yourself". I, however, am not, and I would like to know how to put them on my User Page. If you feel like responding with instructions, I would like to know:
1) how to get those boxes 2) how to get those boxes coloured 3) how to get a picture of my choice in them 4) how to make those boxes atop of one another
If you do not know what I'm talking about due to my n00bish quote in the first sentence, a few of yours say:
"This user identifies as male" "This user is 17 years old" "This user is Christian"
Ect.
So basically, the summary of this comment would be, "Hey here's some random chick asking me how to get those box thingies on her profile." :D
Sincerely, The Crazy JohtoAkima 19:32, 27 November 2009 (UTC).
What you do is that you go to the search box on the left and write " Bulbapedia:Usertags ", click on " Category:User tags " and then other tags. when you find the tag you want, you would want to click to edit the page and copy and paste. play around with those menus and even go back to the directory page where you picked "other tags" and maybe you will be able to change color (which is written in hex code)
--Maarrill-Rockss 02:09, 29 November 2009 (UTC)
Thank you! --JohtoAkima 01:06, 29 December 2009 (UTC)
No problem!

Link Templates
Please use link templates when linking to stuff such as Pokémon names, attacks, and the like. For example, {{m|Thunder}} instead of just [[Thunder]]. This is so you don't unintentionally link to a disambiguation page.
For a full crash course on link templates, look at the list of link templates. --Psyライダー☮ 19:16, 19 August 2010 (UTC)

Zullen we een keer via wi-fi tegen elkaar vechten? Ik heb pokémon Black.--Nazirbashir 18:42, 22 June 2011 (UTC)
