Pokémon Wikia

Going with the theory that this is you, please do not copy information directly from Bulbapedia to another site. This is actually a violation of the Bulbapedia license under which every contribution is made. Please do not do so again. Thank you. —darklordtrom 09:47, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

Alolan dex numbers

Could you refrain from adding Alolan dex numbers to Pokemon articles for now, there are plans to move the dex numbers elsewhere on the article. Thank you.--ForceFire 03:29, 28 January 2019 (UTC)

Category placement

Just so that you know: categories are supposed to be placed at the bottom of the article, not at the top. Thank you. --FinnishPokéFan92 (talk) 21:34, 8 February 2020 (UTC)

Deleted categories

Please do not recreate categories that have just been deleted. I had deleted them as they were not needed. They were for things that are very specific and minor. Thank you.--ForceFire 16:16, 21 April 2020 (UTC)

Again, please do not create unnecessary categories. Those categories were too specific and only for a handful of minor characters. They are not notable. And don't just recreate the category, if you disagree with a deletion go to the talk page of the user that deleted them. If you continue to ignore this message and recreate those categories, you will be blocked.--ForceFire 05:29, 11 December 2020 (UTC)

Short block

As you have continued to make another unneeded category, you have been blocked for five days. Please take your talk page messages seriously, stop creating unnecessary categories. The categories you made were either for minor things or things that only applied to a handful of (minor) characters. If you return only to create unnecessary categories again, you may receive a longer block. Thank you.--ForceFire 04:46, 12 December 2020 (UTC)
