Problems with other users

This user is being rude to me, what do I do?

Sometimes users do occasionally disagree. It happens. However, if a user is bullying you, it is unacceptable. If you feel that a user is bullying you, please bring it up with an admin right away and explain the situation to us and we will step in and will handle the situation. Bulbanews does not tolerate bullying behavior and neither should you.

This user is reverting me, what do I do?

Users do fight over content, however, instead of getting in an edit war, bring it up on the other user's talk page, a staff's talk page or the talk page of the page itself to solve the problem. Edit wars are frowned upon and users caught in edit wars can face short blocks depending on the revisions they've changed.

Talkpage related

Can I use the talk pages to talk with my friends?

Talk pages are for users to discuss Bulbanews related matters with each other. You can talk to your friends who join Bulbanews over on the forums.

Bulbapedia related

What is Bulbapedia?

Bulbapedia is a part of Bulbagarden that is a large encyclopedia of all things Pokémon.

For questions about Bulbapedia, see this page

Bulbagarden Archives related

What are the Bulbagarden Archives?

Bulbagarden Archives is part of Bulbagarden that hosts images that are uploaded for usage on Bulbapedia and Bulbanews.

Why do we use AniPNG instead of GIFs for animated sprites?

Archives uses png over gif for animated sprites because pngs have lower filesizes and are higher quality.

Why can't I move or delete files?

Moving and deleting files is restricted to Junior Admins and above. However, if a user wishes to let an admin know that a file needs to be deleted or moved, they can place the {{delete}} or {{move}} templates on the page.

For questions about Bulbagarden Archives, see this page.

Other

Who can I contact if an admin isn't online?

Usually there is an admin online somewhere, staff members are italicized or bolded in the Recent Changes so they can be spotted easily.

How do I get rid of the advertisements?

Usually logging into Bulbanews or a Bulbagarden site will get rid of advertisements.
