+== Regarding {{t|bp}}, {{t|bpm}}, and {{t|bpi}} ==
+Hi Prod. I decided to add a bp template variant for items, so that users could link to their bulbapedia pages. However, I noticed that inputting a Pokémon's name or the name of a move would also correctly link to their pages. Thanks to this, I realised that {{t|bpm}} and {{t|bpi}} are completely redundant, and only exist thanks to the template text for {{t|bp}} having "(Pokémon)" in the parameter for the Bulbapedia link. Due to this, I request the following:
+*Editing permission for {{t|bp}}, in order to remove the "(Pokémon)" text from the link parameter, which will allow it to be used for linking to any bulbapedia page
+*The deletion of {{t|bpm}} and {{t|bpi}}, due to them being obsolete. Obviously, this can't happen right away, due to the sheer number of things that will break if they're deleted, but any instance of {{t|bpm}} in the wild can be easily changed to {{t|bp}}. Once they are, the page can be safely deleted.
+The main benefits of this decision are (1) Slightly less text counts on pages that use the templates, and (2) Reduces the amount of know-how needed to edit Pokémon pages.
+I look forward to hearing back from you. [[User:Pakuchi|Pakuchi -- ''Someone! Anyone! Respond!'']] 12:00, 25 March 2022 (UTC)
