__NEWSECTIONLINK__

Welcome to all users! This page is where you can ask StrategyWiki-related questions to the staff and senior community figures, and they will do their best to answer. New issues are entered here, with the most recent at the bottom of the page. If your question does not pertain to editing StrategyWiki (e.g. asking for hints or game-specific information), please ask on the guide's talk page or on the forums.

Please review the Table of Contents to see if your issue has already been raised; also check the archives (to the right) in case it was discussed some time ago.

To facilitate ease of browsing and replying, please:
 * 1) Place your question at the bottom of the list.
 * 2) Title the question (by placing the title between equals signs: ==Title==).
 * 3) Sign your name and date (by adding four tildes: ~ ).

Adding external links without being logged in is broken
First time I click save page, and the page reloads asking for a reCAPTCHA. After filling out the reCAPTCHA, the page reloads telling me I'm adding to many links in rapid succession and asks me to click save once more if I'm adding something serious. Clicking save once more reloads the page asking for yet another reCAPTCHA, and after that it reloads with the "adding too many links" message again. It continously goes back and forth between the two, and never actually gets to the point where it's saving my contribution.

Unblock
Hi. I had an account back in 2009, but it was (rightly) blocked, as I was (at the time) a serial wiki vandal on both Wikipedia and Bulbapedia. I am now a 'good' editor on both sites, and haven't been blocked anywhere for any length of time since 2014. Please unblock me. I'm intending my first edits 'back' to remove Soothe Bell and White Herb from Pokémon Gold and Silver/Hold Items, as they didn't exist in that game, and to create Template:Wp, as you have Template:Bp.--95.148.172.171 18:25, 22 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Unblocked. I don't think we need wp though. -- Prod (talk) 18:41, 22 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Personal interjection, but I think a wikipedia link system may be useful. Trig - 18:58, 22 December 2020 (UTC)
 * We have wikipedia for high level linking. Beyond that, wikipedia links can mostly go as references. -- Prod (talk) 19:00, 22 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Not always, and I could have used it in my earlier post. I've gone ahead and created it.--Thomas Michael William Patrick Sales (talk) (contributions) (email) 20:07, 22 December 2020 (UTC)
 * A single use doesn't make a template useful. Overall, the preference is not to have the wikipedia links inline using that template, since we want to avoid sending people offsite. We have a partnership with bulbapedia and send lots of links back and forth with each other. We don't have anything like that with wikipedia. -- Prod (talk) 20:10, 22 December 2020 (UTC)
