Writing style
When revising pages in the Pokemon guide, please don't refer to "generations." Always assume that a reader will have no idea what you're talking about, and instead refer to the specific games that you're talking about. If you do feel the need to discuss generations, a primer about generations and which games belong to which is necessary so a player who has no knowledge of generations can understand what you are trying to say.

 * Hi Lionrt60. No worries, you don't have to apologize.  We're here to help and don't mind the questions.  I will look into the bulbapedia issue.  If such a template doesn't exist, it shouldn't be too hard to whip one up for you.  You can reply on either your talk page, or respond directly on someone's talk page.  Sysops generally track the changes that take place across the site, so if you reply on your own talk page, we are likely to see that you've done so.  Also, if you simply end your posts by typing ~, it will automatically add your signature so you don't have to do it yourself.  The results will be similar (but not identical) to this:  Pro  cyon  17:50, 29 August 2011 (UTC)
 * OK, bpa is ready for you to use. Also, don't forget to sign with ~, even if it's just to say thanks.  And if you want to indent, start your paragraph with a colon, not spaces.  If you try to use spaces,

it will look like this.
 * Good luck, and let me know if you have any more questions.  Pro cyon  17:59, 29 August 2011 (UTC)
 * No problem at all. The way we see it, if you get better, the site gets better, and everybody wins.  That's all we want :)   Pro  cyon  18:06, 29 August 2011 (UTC)
 * I assume you mean the Smogon University website? We would really prefer that you don't if you can avoid it.  We have an agreement and a partnership with Bulbapedia.  We have no such agreement with Smogon.  Therefore, it would really be best if you can keep all of the information that you would like to relate on this site rather than linking to another.  That's just sort of a site policy.  Pretend every other website but SW disappeared :)  Pro  cyon  18:41, 29 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Hi, I'm sorry, I'm not sure what you mean by anchor. What do you mean by that?  Thanks.   Pro  cyon  20:40, 29 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Oh, gotcha. Whenever you create a header, the wiki automatically creates an anchor with the same name.  You can link to it via the standard wiki convention using double brackets.  For example, I can link to your welcome message up above by typing welcome which produces: welcome.  Under most circumstances, the name of the anchor will match the name of the header exactly, unless a header shares the same name with another.  If you're not sure what the correct anchor name is, you can check the in-page table of contents.  Hover over the link, and you should see what the wiki named it.  Let me know if this was clear or if you need more explanation.   Pro  cyon  21:09, 29 August 2011 (UTC)

I fixed up the links on Pokémon Black and White/Breeding, so just take a look at the code there to see what it's doing. -- Prod (Talk) 22:13, 29 August 2011 (UTC)
