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!

Your topic from Bulbapedia:Staff

can somebody help me? I'm new here and I want to help to do a stub but I don't know any of the stubs listed in http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Category:Stubs . I only know about hoenn, sinnoh and a bit of kanto pokemon. (Raltslover 07:53, 16 September 2011 (UTC))

Hi Raltslover. When you start a new topic on a talk page, remember to put it at the bottom :D Also, you didn't pick the best page to put your message on. Next time, maybe ask someone directly on their own talk page.
Now, to address your topic. It's great that you want to help out. I can't give you an exact page to edit, but if you can't find anything in our stubs category, just have a look around the encyclopedia. As you read, you might find mistakes to fix. Hopefully that helps a bit. See you round! —darklordtrom 08:18, 16 September 2011 (UTC)
Thanks for the help. I've edited Fossil Maniac is it okay?(Raltslover 08:25, 16 September 2011 (UTC))
No worries. Again though, if you start a new topic on a talk page you should really put it at the bottom (use the [+] or "Add Topic" button). Your edit was good - I added in a link template, though. Have a look at your welcome above so you can familiarize yourself with some of the more intricate aspects of what we do here. (You can reply to this message here, I promise I'll see it.) —darklordtrom 08:31, 16 September 2011 (UTC)
No, you don't have to know all of them. The important ones are {{P}} (for Pokémon), {{M}} (for moves), and {{A}} (for abilities). You'll pick them up as you go along. By the way, to link to a Bulbapedia page just put [[ then the page title, then ]]. —darklordtrom 08:53, 16 September 2011 (UTC)
That's because that page is in the Bulbapedia namespace. To link to one of those pages, you need to use the link template {{Bp}}. P.S. Write ~~~~ after your comments to sign them. —darklordtrom 09:12, 16 September 2011 (UTC)
