Congratulations

From one junior admin to another, I thought I would share my congratulations and welcome you to our team.--BigDocFan, Junior Admin Bulbapedia (talk) 00:43, 25 June 2024 (UTC)

Thanks BigDocFan, I've learnt a lot from you these last few years and I'm proud to now be part of the team --Thespeon196 (talk) 01:03, 25 June 2024 (UTC)

Horizon synopsis

Nice to see you writing synopsis for that Pokémon Horizon manga. It's a vastly undercovered subject on this site that I've also bought and read myself. Such a shame that I'm unable to upload any images from it, which I'd really want to do if I could. --FinnishPokéFan92 (talk) 16:16, 17 September 2024 (UTC)

Thanks Finnish, it's the first major thing I've written on the wiki. I will probably end up scanning it myself eventually for some images.
Incidentally, do you know of any sources for the genders of Rockruff, Napo, and Dulio? None of them are gendered in the English translation as far as I know, but I'm assuming Napo is female, and Dulio male.
Also, Napo is written as Napo in the first instance, but Napu the next two times.
Any light you could shed on these would be greatly appreciated! --Thespeon196 (talk) 16:23, 17 September 2024 (UTC)
My bad, but I do not. I've only read the English version. --FinnishPokéFan92 (talk) 16:41, 17 September 2024 (UTC)

Movie headers

Regarding your edit on Cherrygrove, I've believe that movies that are not part of the alternate continuity should be placed under the headers of the series they're part of. Is this true? --FinnishPokéFan92 (talk) 23:52, 21 October 2024 (UTC)

What you say could well be the case, given that Landfish only edited that page two days ago. It just felt a little weird to me that the Ruby Sapphire section only talked about M09. I'll consult other staff tomorrow for confirmation. Thanks for bringing this up with me :) --Thespeon196 (talk) 00:26, 22 October 2024 (UTC)
No problem. Thank you for your understanding. I hope it can be changed back no problem. --FinnishPokéFan92 (talk) 00:32, 22 October 2024 (UTC)
Oh, and I almost forgot: I believe the formatting on Slateport was correct previously, as I've been told that locations that have representation in both Pokémon the Series and Horizons can have the "animated series" header. See "Wild Area" as an example. --FinnishPokéFan92 (talk) 09:34, 22 October 2024 (UTC)
On the Slateport and Wild Area examples, the use of "animated series" as a header is under review, so will hold off changing those for now. Luckily, it is only relevant for a handful of locations that have been visited in both Pokémon the Series and Pokémon Horizons: The Series so far so doesn't affect too many pages. Thespeon196 (talk) 10:01, 22 October 2024 (UTC)
I've heard as much. I personally support the format used on "Wild Area", so I hope it wins out and the Slateport City article can be reverted to its previous formatting. --FinnishPokéFan92 (talk) 10:45, 22 October 2024 (UTC)
I also feel that the Arceus Chronicles should be counted as part of Journeys, since they're explicitly Journeys special episodes. Probably another thing that needs to be discussed. --FinnishPokéFan92 (talk) 16:49, 22 October 2024 (UTC)

(resetting indent) My personal feeling is that specificity if at all possible would be best, but it really would depend on the context. But I think at this point it would be best to direct your suggestions to the Project Anime talk page for a wider discussion. Reaching a consensus there would make the result clearer for everyone, and then we can all be on the same page as we make the changes. Thespeon196 (talk) 17:46, 22 October 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for the help

Thanks for the help with the header edits. Also, I have no idea how I had completely missed the Berry Juice article. Well spotted. --FinnishPokéFan92 (talk) 22:19, 25 October 2024 (UTC)

hey no problem, just working systematically through List of items by name, currently on C Cheri Berry. It may take a while --Thespeon196 (talk) 22:30, 25 October 2024 (UTC)
Yup, figured as much. No need to rush. --FinnishPokéFan92 (talk) 22:38, 25 October 2024 (UTC)

"The modification you tried to make was aborted by an extension."

Greetings!

I'm new on Bulbapedia, but not new to wikis. However, I was trying to save an edit in the visual editor, and I got the error quoted in the heading. I saw you editing a few minutes ago, and I thought perhaps you could help me, as you are a junior admin.

Thanks very much! PawnShop75 (talk) 20:21, 26 October 2024 (UTC)

Hi. I can't say I've ever seen that error before. I just tried using the Visual Editor and it worked for me. Is the edit you tried to make a large one, either adding a lot or removing a lot of text or data, because sometimes it doesn't let new users do that. I also recommend trying it a couple more times just in case. If it still doesn't work, you could also flag the issue on our Discord, where there are a lot more technically knowledgeable folks than me. Thespeon196 (talk) 20:33, 26 October 2024 (UTC)
Please don't worry @Thespeon196, for I figured out the problem! It can't make me solve a new user CAPTCHA in the visual save changes screen. Thank you for trying to help! PawnShop75 (talk) 20:39, 26 October 2024 (UTC)
Nice one, if you have any other problems don't be afraid to ask. Happy editing! Thespeon196 (talk) 20:43, 26 October 2024 (UTC)

Re: Nuzlocke Challenge

What I meant by the edit note is that whenever I try to save the page after inserting a new link, I get the error: "The modification you tried to make was aborted by an extension." If I don't make any new links, I can edit the page normally. I don't know why this is, especially since I'm pretty sure I inserted a link in the past already. It's no big deal honestly, I was just trying to link the Lorelocke rule page, but people can easily look it up themselves. Misin9 (talk) 06:24, 11 November 2024 (UTC)

Hi. I think the issue might be that you were/are using the Visual Editor when trying to add references. I'm not quite sure why it occurs. If you still want to add the link, a workaround might be to use the Source Editor instead (by clicking edit source at the top of the page or section). Write the reference like this: <ref>[urllink sourcename]</ref>
See Help:Wikicode#Referencing for more details. Hope this helps! Thespeon196 (talk) 13:15, 11 November 2024 (UTC)
It worked. Thanks for the tip! Misin9 (talk) 04:46, 16 November 2024 (UTC)
