User talk:Dilophosaurus Rex

From Bulbapedia, the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia.

Welcome

Welcome to Bulbapedia, Dilophosaurus Rex!

As a new user, you may wish to learn a few things that will be useful in your editing:

  • For a basic overview of wiki code, see this page.
  • The manual of style is very important. Make sure to read it. It outlines all official policies of Bulbapedia.
  • Keep an eye on the Messages from the Editor on the main page, to stay informed on current events on Bulbapedia.
  • The word Pokémon is spelled with a capital P and an accented é. The é can be accessed by holding Alt and typing either 130 or 0233 on a Windows computer, and by using Option + e, then e again on a Mac. Otherwise, you can easily click it in the character palette below the editbox.
  • The word Poké Ball is spelled as two words. The "Poké" part is identical to the four beginning letters in "Pokémon"; "Ball" is spelled with a capital B. The spelling "Pokéball" arises frequently, but is incorrect.
  • The word "you" and all forms of it should not be used on encyclopedic pages unless it is a quote from Pokémon or other media. Bulbapedia is an encyclopedia, not a walkthrough.
  • On talk pages, please sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).
  • The use of link templates is official policy. For an explanation on their use, see the page on shortlinks.
  • If you happen to spot a vandal in the recent changes that has not been dealt with, please see this page for how to deal with it.
  • A list of pages that are linked to, but have not been created, can be found at this page. A list of short articles that may require more information can be found here, while a list of articles that need improvement can be found here.
  • For a future capture, release, trade, or evolution of a Pokémon belonging to a main character of the anime, please do not create or move the page to reflect your suspicions, even if they are shared by many others. Policy here is to wait until the episode in which the event happens takes place is aired, unless there is substantial evidence for the suspicion (such as Brock's Happiny being held in his arms).
  • Image uploading is done on Bulbagarden Archives, a separate wiki accessible through the toolbox in the sidebar. This is done so that both Bulbapedia and Bulbanews have access to the images uploaded. To activate your account at the Archives and Bulbanews, please login there using the same username and password you use here on Bulbapedia.
  • If you want to make a page about a character you made up, please create it at User:Dilophosaurus Rex/(name), not merely (name). Bulbapedia's main namespace is reserved for actual, official Pokémon, items, characters, and locations. Also, please try to make sure that subpages are not categorized by templates used within.
  • Having said this, please make sure that you do contribute adequately to the main namespace. Bulbapedia is not MySpace or Facebook.
  • A list of the admins that you can contact in case of a problem can be found here.

Thank you, and have a good time editing here! --Shiningpikablu252 16:51, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

Hey,

I noticed you have only edited the userspace since May 3rd, just a friendly reminder that you should try and edit the mainspace more to offset your userspace edits. Thanks, - Kogoro | Talk to me - 18:19, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

No problem. Dilophosaurus Rex 15:46, 14 May 2009 (UTC)

Are you Dutch?

You're name, "Jos van Ballegooijen", sounds very Dutch to me. So if you are, you can paste this user tag in your user page(but remove the dots from it, else it won't work): "User... nl-N" If you aren't Dutch, then never mind ;)Mijzelffan 15:44, 14 May 2009 (UTC)

Yes, I am Dutch, as a matter of fact. Now I just gotta figure out how that damn template works. Dilophosaurus Rex 15:46, 14 May 2009 (UTC)

It's pretty easy, all templates are set up the same, namely: ((User ...)) (p.s. replace the ( and ) by { and } ) then you can replace the dots by thing like: nl-N, Brown Hair, In Love, etc. then you paste it on your user page and then it'll appear on the right side of your page. Sorry that I explain it the hard way, but you can't typ it in correctly on a talk page Mijzelffan 15:59, 14 May 2009 (UTC)
No, that wasn't the hard part. Trying to get it to appear on my userpage the way I want was, but I got it now. Dilophosaurus Rex 16:02, 14 May 2009 (UTC)

Red links

we have a major problem with this page right here. you see, you used an official template, and while using official templates isnt a big deal, you used it incorrectly, and now you have created red links. these are bad because they show up in the official Wanted pages. so, what i need you to do is fix it. either remove the template and use another form of description, or expand the templates, and remove the links manually. the latter will take longer, but preserve the appearance. -- MAGNEDETH 21:37, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

OK, if you can tell me how to do so, or point me in the general direction of a Guide Manual to Templates or something like that, I'll gladly do so. Dilophosaurus Rex 07:03, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
Put “subst:” in before the name of the template to expand it. For example:
{{subst:pkmn|egg}}
will be saved in the page as
[[Pokémon egg|egg]]

Hi

I noticed you have been editing the User: namespace a lot recently. You may not be aware of this, but Bulbapedia has a Userspace policy that asks users to try and minimize the number of userspace edits they make in a short period of time. Instead of making multiple edits, why not use the Preview button (Alt + Shift + P) located right next to the edit button to look at your page and see how it is coming? That way, your page can look great while staying within the required amount of edits. Instead of editing the userspace, as a wiki, we encourage users to edit the mainspace. So, if you edit the mainspace more often, you will be allowed to edit the userspace more. Thanks! --electAbuzzzz 18:49, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

Back

ive removed you from abuse. please edit the mainspace, and be frugal to the userspace. -- MAGNEDETH 17:19, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

Thank you very much. Dilophosaurus Rex 17:47, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

soooo....i removed you from abuse on August 25th, and yet, here we are almost a month later and you HAVEN'T MADE ONE MAINSPACE EDIT SINCE. edit the userspace one more time without making at least 20 edits to the mainspace, or youre going back in abuse. -- MAGNEDETH 19:26, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

Does that include editing other people's userpages? Dilophosaurus Rex 14:14, 3 October 2009 (UTC)
