Welcome

Welcome to Bulbapedia, Pika3323!

Here are a few links to help you get started:

The Manual of Style, or MoS, outlines the format of all pages on Bulbapedia.

Our friendly team of staff are here to help! Talk to them if you have any questions or problems with Bulbapedia.

On talk pages, please sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~), or by using the "Your signature with a timestamp" (button_sig.png) button at the top of the edit window.

On Bulbapedia, the ability to edit personal userpages is a privilege. Per our userpage policy, this must be earned by first making constructive edits to the mainspace. Once you can, remember to keep userspace edits (edits to User:Pika3323) to a minimum.

For a complete list of policies and editing advice, please see the Welcome Portal.
 Thank you, and have a good time editing here!

Userspace limits

Hi. I noticed you have been editing the User: namespace a lot recently. Please don't do it any more, though. Bulbapedia's Userspace policy restricts the amount you can edit your userpage: no more than three edits per day. This policy was instated to prevent strain on our server, and also to promote people helping out in the mainspace. Bulbapedia is an encyclopedia, after all, so help us out by contributing to some articles before coming back to your personal userpage. The more often you edit in the mainspace, the more you will be allowed to edit your userpage. Thanks! -- Jellotalk 23:04, 14 October 2010 (UTC)

Ok, I didn't know, whack me in the head if it was obvious. Pika332323:15 got to go.

Well, now you know. Also, please use the preview button, it's right beside the save button. You don't need to make so many edits to one page in such a short period of time. Thanks. Jellotalk 23:19, 14 October 2010 (UTC)
I use it all the time...Pika3323 10:43 15 October 2010 (UTC)

Hold on!

If you did not read your last warning, then please read it now. You have edited the User: namespace too much. In the past, no one was allowed to edit their userpages because some users were over-editing their own userpages. Your personal editing privileges can be taken away, so please do not edit your page any more for now. Instead, how about helping contribute to some of Bulbapedia's many articles? Thank you. ----Cold (talk) 22:00, 18 October 2010 (UTC)

  • Well I guess I counted wrong............darn.I'll stop editing it.Pika3323 22:02, 18 Oct 2010 (UTC)
The server's time zone probably differs from yours. If you're unsure, check your contributions.--Cold (talk) 22:07, 18 October 2010 (UTC)
Um, what to edit? not much left...no archives! Nothing...Pika3323 22:15, Oct 18 2010 (UTC)
YEAH! ARCHIVES!!!! TO THE SPRITES!!!!--Pika3323 18:57, 20 October 2010 (UTC)

Can you help me?

I have no idea how to edit my user page... and you said you might know how. So im asking for help please. You dont have to help me if you dont wanna. -Keekk1

1. sign on talk pages with ~~~~.
2. On bulbapedia it requires editing done on mainspace, and time.
3. On archives put #REDIRECT[[bp:User:Keekk1]]—★Pika3323 16:17, 5 February 2011 (UTC)

Animated sprites

Thanks for answering my question, but now I'm lost: I couldn't find the "upload new version of this file" on the page. The admins are still the only ones able to update files?

Maneco 21:46, 10 February 2011 (UTC)

No not at all, anybody should see it unless a admin blocked you. Click here scroll to the bottom you should see the following: File links, Edit this file using an external application, and in light blue the magic update button saying: Upload a new version of this file.—★Pika3323 21:58, 10 February 2011 (UTC)
Hmmm... Looks like I'm blocked. Don't know the reason, though. I've uploaded only Lyra's Commemorative prints which weren't previously uploaded, but that's all.
Maneco 22:03, 10 February 2011 (UTC)
To upload over existing files you must be autoconfirmed on the archives. When did you activate your archives account? Werdnae (talk) 22:06, 10 February 2011 (UTC)
Well, in my preferences, it is saying my account is activated in both Bulbapedia and the Archives. Interestingly, I can upload a new version of a file I actually first uploaded to the Archives, but I can't do it to any other file there.
Maneco 22:25, 10 February 2011 (UTC)
Yeah. I think the account becomes autoconfirmed on the archives a short time (a week or something like that maybe?) after the account was activated. So if you first logged in on the Archives today, you won't be able to upload over the files that were already there for a short time. Werdnae (talk) 22:32, 10 February 2011 (UTC)

Small heads up.

I noticed you wanted to link to files, but did it like this: [File:Spr 5b 495.png], if you want to link to the image without showing the full image, you need to type: [[a:File:Spr 5b 495.png]], and it will result in the following: a:File:Spr 5b 495.png. I thought I'd tell you this. Masatoshitalk 22:09, 17 February 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, I realised that.—★Pika3323 22:09, 17 February 2011 (UTC)

A request ...

Hi, I have just noticed that your name signature has a pattern that looks nice, so I'm guessing you know how to write wikicode to suit that. So what I am asking is if you could turn my request into wikicode for my signature. I'm not very good at computing, so this is why I am asking someone else (don't flame me). My request is below:

Coloured text to be Marine Blue (if you don't know what that is, it is similar to dark blue), Text to say "Lucario's Rule!" when you hover over my name (if that is possible; please say if it isn't), for it to link to my account/talkpage, Starry around my name (coloured Blue if possible).

If you could do that, I'd be very thankful. Also, thanks for being my first message on my account :) Lucarios Rule! ~Chrisirhc 20:57, 12 March 2011 (UTC)

Starry??? What's that? But I think it would be something like this...<span style="color:#3FA9D0;">★</span>[[User:Chrisirhc|<span style="color:#2B60DE;">{{tt|Chrisirhc|Lucarios Rule!}}</span>]][[User talk:Chrisirhc|<span style="color:blue;"><sup>talk</sup><span style="color:#3FA9D0;">★</span></span>]]
Chrisirhctalk You can't make the hover over text (the text you hover over to make the other text appear) another color, Talk is there to link to talk page, if you want changes, just tell me.—★Pika3323 22:17, 12 March 2011 (UTC)

Your user page

Mind if I use something along the lines of your user page? felinoel 19:38, 19 April 2011 (UTC)

Sure!—★Pika3323 19:40, 19 April 2011 (UTC)
Eff... I had literally about a hundred of them chosen and two that I personally made and then a tornado's rain storm knocked out a power line making all that work die... if only I were allowed to save my work while working on it... are sandboxes allowed? felinoel 05:37, 21 April 2011 (UTC)
I think so... but the same limits apply.—★Pika3323 10:00, 21 April 2011 (UTC)
Even the current limit of one edit per day due to the release of Black and White? felinoel 10:16, 21 April 2011 (UTC)
All userspace edits I believe, but there are exceptions.—★Pika3323 10:18, 21 April 2011 (UTC)
I guess sandboxes are in the userspace when they are built off a userpage... oh well. felinoel 10:31, 21 April 2011 (UTC)
All edits made to your user namespace count as an edit, even your sandbox.--ForceFire 10:42, 21 April 2011 (UTC)
I think... I just said that? But... thanks? felinoel 10:50, 21 April 2011 (UTC)

Trainer classes

When you add HGSS to the images, you are putting "Soulsilver" (note the lowercase S). Also, you seem to be putting an 'enter' between Pt and HGSS - it would be better if you didn't. --SnorlaxMonster 13:48, 24 April 2011 (UTC)

Really? Ok, I'll fix those.—★Pika3323 13:49, 24 April 2011 (UTC)
Yeah, like you did on Pokémon Breeder. But don't worry about the others - I already fixed them. --SnorlaxMonster 13:53, 24 April 2011 (UTC)
Ummm, there are 2 different sprites for the "bird keeper" as shown here So what would I do for that?—★Pika3323 14:03, 24 April 2011 (UTC)
I would say put HGSS under the Battle Frontier sprite as well, and put a note like the one on Scientist. --SnorlaxMonster 14:08, 24 April 2011 (UTC)
Almost every one of those trainers only appear in the battle frontier BTW.—★Pika3323 12:31, 25 April 2011 (UTC)

Typo

You have a typo on your userpage I think,

Alright, I did so something useful.

Oh, so the wording was intentional? Sorry then

No, I don't feel like clogging up the recent changes with me so I left it for later.—★Pika3323 20:23, 9 May 2011 (UTC)
