There's a few users using {{User Country}} for places that are rather... Random. Examples include, "the depths of", "Outer Space", as well as a few towns/cities (Including some plainly using the template without a location). Would you like me to edit the userpages with these... Oddities by substing the templates, then removing the categories? Or should we just leave them to appear in the Wanted Categories? - Kogoro|Talk to me|06:46, 9 November 2008 (UTC)Reply
Well, could the template get an edit so that if nothing is placed in the {{{2}}} variable, the category portion of the template won't activate? - Kogoro|Talk to me|06:50, 9 November 2008 (UTC)Reply
Surprisingly enough, it wasn't. I think I was able to get one to work, but I'm not 100% sure. I really began to hate parser functions while trying to add it. - Kogoro|Talk to me|21:39, 9 November 2008 (UTC)Reply

Can you get a warning for doing nothing wrong?
On the 28th July DCM gave me a warning for editing the userspace too much, even though I had only made 3 edits. Today I made my first error on the Userspace Policy as in my timezone I was editing in 2 different days, but according to the BP clock it was the same day. I immediately reported this to an Admin, as it was an accident, then Maverick Nate decided to give me a warning citing it as my 2nd. While I find this harsh, technically he is right, as I did break the rule but only by accident, so I shall have to accept that warning, but as my first warning. He insists it should remain my 2nd warning, even though I have clearly highlighted to him that today is the first time I have broken the policy. DCM made a mistake when he gave me that warning, it was by accident, and he meant no harm, he thought it was 4, but when recounting it was only 3, therefore surely the warning he gave me shouldnt count as it was given out of error. --Guardian of Earth |SGMS 2010
Eh, the fact that it'd been almost half a year since your last warning... I'd say you're fine. Really, the warning elevation is for users who do it frequently, while you seem to get that there's a limit. TTEchidna20:55, 9 November 2008 (UTC)Reply
Anyway, you've made no mainspace edits this month, and only four mainspace talk edits, three of them on a fan article (GS remakes). The purpose of the rule was to encourage people to improve Bulbapedia and not use this site as a social networking site. This isn't a legal court system, and the admins can use discretion when enforcing the spirit of the law as opposed to the word of the law. --Raijinili21:32, 9 November 2008 (UTC)Reply

Oh everyone knows that's been the case since I was asked to be in charge... Anonymous doesn't forgive nor forget, remember?
No, really. Kuki's nuts, but I doubt he did it. Though after pretty much begging everyone and their mother to be let back on Bulbapedia after a lengthened block due to sockpuppeting, attempting to pose as another user in order to get them banned for longer, and then now once more doing so... poorly... off of Bulbapedia, while his mother's screaming about Asperger's and how she can't control him due to it, I and the rest of the admins have pretty much had it with him. BulbaBot's "malfunction" seems like more of a way to just screw with us... nothing more. Especially since we discovered that we, being admins, can unblock ourselves if we're somehow blocked.
Anyway, we'll deal with everything. Don't worry at all. We're handling it with our buraucratic... bureaucracy. I dunno. We're dealing. TTEchidna13:51, 13 November 2008 (UTC)Reply
This is kind of getting out of haand, why is BulbaBot screwing with people, I mean, it's a 'robot', isn't it?

BulbaBot went haywire last night. Dropping block bombs left and right on various users, be it someone like Darkrai breeder or someone like TTEchidna. Thankfully, you weren't hit; neither was I, but I actually blocked myself for eight hours just in case BulbaBot did go after me. --Shiningpikablu25217:06, 13 November 2008 (UTC)Reply
Not right now, no. BulbaBot messed with TTEchidna's schedule, which called for the initial probation block to expire early morning of the 16th, to expire at noon UTC today. In fact, BulbaBot started its rampage six minutes after the action that got Maverick Nate put on probation to begin with.
What I'd really like to know, however, is how BulbaBot managed to block Tavisource for 400 years the third time BulbaBot blocked that user. I had to block Sneedly94 for 25 years mainly because 30 years was considered invalid...--Shiningpikablu25217:14, 13 November 2008 (UTC)Reply
Additionally, it's not supposed to be possible to block a sysop, much less a bureaucrat. And BulbaBot doesn't have the power to revoke and issue administrative powers... This is too odd. And how did TTE unblock himself? I'm leaning towards revoking the bot's administrative powers until we can decide what to do about this... --ニョロトノ66617:17, 13 November 2008 (UTC)Reply
BulbaBot doesn't have the powers necessary to mess with user rights. The last time user rights were tweaked was when TTEchidna put Maverick Nate on probation for an unfair block on Kuki. BulbaBot didn't tweak anyone's user rights.
Anyway, it appears that ultra-long expiry times really are valid now, and BulbaBot took advantage of that with Tavisource. I tested it with my user page, setting a protection timer for one minute short of UTC New Year in 10000, and the time was seen as valid.
Pfft. Silly me. In any case, I've revoked BulbaBot's administrative powers for the time being, as it needs a little programming change. --ニョロトノ66617:25, 13 November 2008 (UTC)Reply
(resetting indent) One thing I'd like to note, for the benefit of anyone who didn't know, is that blocked users can't edit pages, but they can still log in, view pages, and if they have special rights, then they can use those abilities freely as well. So yes, while you can block a sysop, they can just unblock themselves as long as they still have sysop rights. Blocking a sysop is nothing more then a nuisance, since they have to unblock themselves before they can edit. (it is pretty annoying though, I'll say that from previous experience.) --Jïörüjï Ðērākō.>.cнаt^20:59, 13 November 2008 (UTC)Reply
And this was a lesson to all about it. Anyway, here's the truth: I am BulbaBot. Zhen let me take control of it to mess with you guys and freak you out, and this time I was attempting to out Kuki as being the one who made the email from Nate saying "I hate you so very much, I will block u for until January 30, 2023".
Why did I do it? A test, perhaps. Response time was quite efficient, proving we don't need to continue the nominations for administratorship for the time being. Maybe next April around the time Platinum comes out here, since we get a huge influx of new users around then.
Whatever the case, though, it backfired. And now Kuki's whining about his assburgers again, like DaxFlame, while his mom's setting up new anti-Bulbapedia facebook groups because he won't GET OFF THE COMPUTER. And I'm not afraid to show my bias against nooby users here. Stop thinking that Bulbapedia's some big friend group. That's the forums. Go there. Don't IM me about random crap. I have 100+ people on my list, I don't need anymore. Don't talk page vandalism, for the last time, CONTACT VIA AIM, MSN, OR WHATEVER.
Anyway. Things will go back to the way they were beforehand. Nate didn't do anything wrong because we all pretty much agreed that blocking Kuki until that date would be hilarious, and then I'd "reprimand" him just to see what Kuki's reaction would be.
Optimatum had it right when he said Bulbapedia's run by an asshole madman. That's me! But only when I need to be. So to everyone, sorry for the lose, but guess whaaaaaat.
So if you are on hiatus then you aren't a part of it... electAbuzz and I were lucky. P.S., WHAT YOU DID WAS SO FUNNY. Blaming Kuki through the binary... GENIUS! That Aspergers thing was pretty mean though. Anyway...--RexRacer-talk03:06, 14 November 2008 (UTC)Reply

Well, checked with Nate who likes it except for the show/hide which he's not keen on, SP252 who told me it could work but to get a second opinion, Politoed666 who loves it and says to implement it now (though I'm still unsure because I don't know how many people dislike show/hide), and you.

Late last night, BulbaBot went very damn crazy and blocked dozens of innocent users (including myself), so Politoed666 changed BulbaBot's rights from bots and admins to just bots.

You basically type in the Pokémon name in the search box. After you click "Go" it will redirect you to the Pokémon that you typed in if a disambiguation page wasn't created yet. Near the top of the page you'll see Redirected from <Pokémon name>. Click on that and it will take you to the page with an arrow pointing to the Pokémon's name. You click edit this page and you put the disambig information there instead of the redirect. Use this for a reference. --ケンジのガール05:45, 14 November 2008 (UTC)Reply

Was what you did really necessary? I mean if I were to do something like that, I'd be thrown out of Bulbapedia for good. Everyone seems okay and are humored by what you did, but I don't think it was right to do that. Especially when you frame another user. I don't agree with Kuki's methods sometimes, but that was just uncalled for.
I also find it unfair that when I protect a page, users get pissed at me and say I abused my powers. But you just started blocking people as a joke and no one gets angry... Probably because their afraid you won't like them anymore.
We were trying to get Kuki to confess for impersonating me through an e-mail. That is completely against the rules to begin with, and if he never did that to me, we wouldn't have done that to him. Also, Kuki is getting blocked anyway, it is just that if he confesses, he is punished considerably less than if he doesn't, so this was all for Kuki's benefit, but he wouldn't take it.

Believe me, if anything, there needs to be more throat-jumping of the little kids who don't get that Bulbapedia is not their playground. Style changes, especially major ones, need be discussed.

Hey there, TTE. Something's wrong with BulbaBot; he's left a mess on a user subpage of mine. And it's not even in binary! As Zhen Lin's gone, I've come to you (it says see ZL on his UP). I also don't like talking to bots, so please pass on my regards:
I have no problem with the disambiguation pages. They are necessary when dealing with quantities of information with the same name.
I like the link templates. I'm even learning how to use them.
Don't treat me like I'm an idiot because I'm not like you.
I have LURKED. I've LURKED here for a long time. And now I'm CONTRIBUTING. Well, trying to. I'm still learning, yes, so give me a break.
There are admins without userpages and you aren't complaining about their redlinks.
The biggest problem I've had with this site is the attitudes. Talk pages are for talking, not yelling and scaring people away. I'm not the only person who thinks this, as the discussion here suggests.
I'm also not the only person who thinks the admin system needs a rehaul. There are far too many people that vote "oh, he writes stuff, so he should be admin". That should never be a reason, these privileges need to be handed out to people who will use them wisely. Blocking and unblocking users, etc, has nothing to do with being a good contributor.
All my edits were in my best judgement.
I'm only 18 myself. And I have never edited Bill Gates.
Nineteen Eighty-Four is one of the true masterpieces of twentieth century literature. But don't hold that against me.
BulbaBot's evil, you have to know that one. Anyway, that welcome was a sarcastic response welcome to your own sarcastic one, not towards you personally, but to all the dumbasses who come here and think that the rules don't apply because they never read them. I agree that the nominating system needs a makeover, which is part of the reason I'll be closing it at the end of the month.
Seriously, though, sarcasm begets sarcasm. That was my take on what the welcome could be and just the same a response to yours. Soooooo, yeah. It's not that I think it was stupid (it's a spun look at us, I'll give you that), it's that I respond from the other side. TTEchidna04:03, 25 November 2008 (UTC)Reply
Haha, yeah, I'd picked up a bit of hostility towards the Bot around here. I appreciate your remarks though, but next time I'd appreciate a quiet word in the ear rather than making it look like I'd written something like that. (I'm aware it was signed, but it was on my page. And also if you want to talk feel free to use your own account :D you'll give BB a bad name). I may have some ideas for a revamped adminship system, so feel free to get back to me on that one (don't worry, I'm not importing from Wiki on this one. They're trying to change their system as well right now). Have a nice day. — THE TROM — 04:14, 25 November 2008 (UTC)Reply
Oh, and before I forget, which is the correct teams template to use? If I'm being yelled at for copyediting trivia I may as well find something else to do. Standardisation, here I come! — THE TROM — 04:17, 25 November 2008 (UTC)Reply

How should I request protection for a template? I'm noticing more and more unprotected templates that are in use on hundreds of pages. — Laoris(Blah)07:56, 25 November 2008 (UTC)Reply

I haven't been here for the last week or so, as I'm sure you've noticed. Any significant 'pedia developments I should know about? I'll be on AIM later tonight, and we can talk extensively then, but for now? --ニョロトノ66617:02, 25 November 2008 (UTC)Reply
In the Japanese Pokémon site, I saw several artwork of some Pokémon from Ranger (first game). It has Celebi, legendary dogs and others. *tc26*08:02, 26 November 2008 (UTC)Reply

I have 2 questions about the images that are shown for the legendary Pokemon. First off, they were updated to the "Ranger" images...why? I thought the Sugimori images were the standard ones to use.
Second, where are the "Ranger" images from? I don't think they are from Ranger because I have a guide book to Mystery Dungeon Red and Blue and it has those images in the book (unless whoever makes the side games/merch is just lazy and repeats the artwork so it's less money to pay to the artists.) --いぬみみ21:16, 27 November 2008 (UTC)Reply

Hey there boss-guy! When clicking on the unified login in "My Preferences", I get this message:
You can now log in to any Wikimedia wiki site without creating a new account; the same username and password will work on Wikipedia, Wiktionary, Wikibooks, and their sister projects in all languages.
Read more about unified login…
The account named "The dark lord trombonator" on each the following sites have been automatically attached to the unified account:
* bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net
I don't particularly want unified login, so I'm glad that for some reason it didn't work. However, you may wish to change the software so it doesn't give all the Wikipedia references. Because, clearly, unifying a BP login will have no effect on Wikipedia accounts. I hope you can fix this; it's rather messy IMHO. Thanks, have a good day. — THE TROM — 05:32, 28 November 2008 (UTC)Reply
Oh that's only if you decide to login on News and Archives to do stuff there. It's not connected to TOW at all. Didn't know that that reference to Kipedia was still in there... I'll see if I can find it to change. TTEchidna06:14, 28 November 2008 (UTC)Reply

... Shall I continue with the NumberRedirects? I'm having a little Catfight with RexRacer, Claiming to be nothing but 4 Variables left, (Almia, Original Anime, Manga and National), For the mean time I have stopped at 252, The Almia ends at 267 (about 15 more) yet the Anime ends at 274 so there's(Lets see, 15, Divide by the 5, Add the 5, Add the 7, Then add the 7 again) 22 numbers left!, Which is not much IMO. So should I continue or not. Yes, No, Maybe. --ForceFire06:50, 28 November 2008 (UTC)Reply
Continue until there's only one thing that goes that far, which is the National Dex. After you hit that point, I dunno if it'd be prudent or not to redirect to Ndex... I only did so with 000 because everyone knows 000 is Missingno.. TTEchidna06:54, 28 November 2008 (UTC)Reply
Even factoring in just the volume releases, and even without the information for Volume 29 (which we should be finding out soon), Pokémon Special will be reflected in the number disambigs as far as 327 (matching round's article would be at PS327 once it's made). This figure should increase by at least a few once we get volume 29 info, and should jump big-time if volume 29 includes the start of the Diamond/Pearl chapter (which we have some serialization-based lists for that will be updated once it hits volume). Keep in mind that Volume 30 is also coming soon, so odds are we'll get that big Diamond/Pearl jump sooner rather than later (even if the Diamond/Pearl chapter doesn't get into volume release with 29). --Shiningpikablu25216:23, 28 November 2008 (UTC)Reply

I keep getting the messeage Files of the MIME type "application/x-php" are not allowed to be uploaded. when I want to upload a certain sprite. Do you know how can I fix it? It has to be the same file name, specifically River Flow 2fieldmove.PNG*tc26*12:21, 28 November 2008 (UTC)Reply

Hey TTE, I thought of an idea for the Spriteboxes of Pokémon with vastly different types between their different forms (like Castform and Wormadam). Since my Castform Spriteboxes got protected (which is really cool by the way) I copied the code from the Gen III one to the Sandbox and modified it a bit. If you like the idea, feel free to implement. Either way, feel free to erase it from the Sandbox. Also, the Gen IV Castform template was never implemented.--MisterE1319:32, 28 November 2008 (UTC)Reply
Also, what are we making the official rules for the sprite templates? What's the cutoff number of forms/Formes before we use the time-based ones instead of the "Just show them all" ones.
I don't know much about code but as far as I see it, numberforms/DiffTypes (or whatever code you want) then form1Type=type, form2Type=type etc. Where number is the number of forms and type is the type of that form.--MisterE1305:31, 29 November 2008 (UTC)Reply

Why don't we make templates for all of the Pokémon that redirect to their pages? Like {{Bulbasaur}} could link to Bulbasaur (Pokémon) and eliminate the need for the the Pokémon template, making it more uniform to things like {{Delila}} and {{Ash}}. What do you think? --RexRacer-talk20:03, 30 November 2008 (UTC)Reply
because then wed need to make a template for every single Pokemon. the P template is exactly what it is, P|<Pokemon>. one template, covers everything. the anime templates link to their articles because their the only ones. -- MAGNEDETH20:07, 30 November 2008 (UTC)Reply
Yeah, and then if we took those Pokémon name templates into use, either we'd have two different kinds of templates all over the place or we'd have a hellish replacement project waiting us. UltimateSephiroth(about me · chat · edits)20:10, 30 November 2008 (UTC)Reply

I've noticed a fair few users copying the code for user tags, rather than using say.. {{User Diamond}}. As a result, users like Animine have their user pages categorised as a tag.. in fact, said example will be solved in a second. Gywall(Talk)21:46, 30 November 2008 (UTC)Reply
As a sample for code.. as used on said user's talk page:
Your user page was categorised with the user tags. In future, please link to tags like: {{template|User Likes Blue}} rather than copying the code from the page. Thank you. ~~~~
