Thread: Suggestions, ideas, and problems

Can somebody do a little bit of further research on the new experience formula?

I found out the basic pattern (to within 1 point of error), but a few things don't match when it's multiple Pokémon that defeat one.

This is the Bulbapedia suggestion/idea/problem thread. For forums related things you want the Suggestions Box

Is there any kind of function which allows me to convert decimal to hexadecimal? I've searched MediaWiki but couldn't really find anything. If there isn't I could probably make one, but it would only be able to do it to the number of hexadecimal characters I set.

EDIT: I made one.

EDIT: Trom dealt with the vandal. Sorry for going into panic mode there, folks.

Little suggestion here. I don't know if this has already been brought up/considered/accepted/rejected or whatever, but here goes.

OK, you know how a number of the Generation V Pokemon pages have their Dream World artwork where their Sugimori artwork would go? This gave me an idea. Why not have the infobox on a switch to go back and forth between Sugimori and Dream World artwork? Obviously for most Generation V Pokemon, it would have to wait until they actually get Sugimori art, but what do you all think? Obviously the dream world art works for infobox purposes, and who knows? There may even be people who prefer it to Sugimori's art.

With a mustache.

We will. Eventually. We don't have all the Sugimori stuff, and since that'd be the default, we're not doing it yet.

Wiki is srs bzns.

I know it says on the Dealing with Vandalism page that you're meant to bring it up here... but in all honesty sending a PM or talk page message to whichever staff member was last active in the RC (or one you know is usually on at the same time as you) is probably the most effective approach.

For those of you who haven't figured it out yet: if a user's name is in italics on the RC, they're an admin. If a user's name is green, then they're part of the Editorial Board.

Now that SmashWiki is part of NIWA, should we link all characters from SSB to SmashWiki, as this will provide the information about SSB? On SSBB's page, we currently have a character list that links to various NIWA wikis like Zelda Wiki for Link, and Super Mario Wiki for all extras.

I'd say we should link to the NIWA wikis for the characters unless they don't have anything NIWA. But wait until our November 5 member comes in - there are two more characters from SSB that are native to that wiki's subject.

So a user has been adding maps that features location in Isshu....in English...such as this:



Now, wouldn't this be from a ROM (since it's in English)? So should we remove it since ROMs are illegal.

We'll look into it. Thanks for bringing it up.

The template on "List of Pokemon", specifically the one in the List of Pokemon by Abilities, section is in need of an update. I've already been adding the new pokemon, but there's no effective way to add a 3rd ability column for Dream World abilities.

Does anyone know how to do this?

I fixed the template so it works and added DW abilities for the Kanto families. You can finish the rest if you want, or I'll get back to it another time.

On the fly, I use Windows calculator.

Thanks. I'll go ahead and add the rest of the abilities now, then.
