Help:Create an entry

So, you want to have your own entry here?

In order to do this you will need to follow the following steps:

Step 1, Thinking up the info
Make sure you know what you are writing about before starting.

Step 2, Create the page
Go to http://custompokedex.wikia.com/wiki/ and click Add To This Page.

If your Pokemon is a normal one, copy the following code: If your Pokemon is a legendary, copy the following code: This will create an outline of the page you will be building.

Click Publish when you are done.

Step 3, add the Template
Before adding the Template, check if your legendary Pokemon has an diet, if not, you should remove the diet section.

Adding the template
In order to add the template there are two options,

Option 1: Go into source mode and copy the usage section code from Template:PokéBox

Option 2: Add the template using the menu on the right.

Both will have the same explanation, but option 2 allows to preview your edit. Replace this  with This is how it looks in source mode. In the visual mode each of these have their own input box.

What does it mean?
name= This should be obvious

jname= Name in japanese originally, copy this from your species section.

image= The image that will be displayed in the center.

type= The type of your pokemon

type2= Secondary type, (If applicable)

species= Each Pokemon is from a different species, for example Darkrai is known as the pitch-black Pokemon.

Ability= Example:Download (Genesect signature), ups Attack or Special Attack depending on the foe.

Gen= If you are creating a region, place here the region page.

ndex= The number of the national pokedex, note that this one is unique over the entire wiki, serparate Pokemon need to have the C prefix.

ndexfrom=

ndexprev=

dexkanto,dexjohto,dexhoenn,dexsinnoh,dexunova= Dex numbers in Official Generations, leave these empty, unless it is a legal Pokemon that appears in your region.

male, female= Add a number from 1 to 100, decides the chance of a Pokemon being male or female

imweight,metweight= Weight in lbs. and in Kilograms.

imheight,metheight= Weight in inches, and in Meters.

(Add only the weights you know, others may convert them for you)

Step 4, Write
Fill out all the required parts with the information you could think of. If you don't want others to expand the page don't forget to add to the bottom of the page.

Categories
Most categories are automattically added during your inserting of the PokeBox template. In order to allow the page to be used in the pokedex, you need to add the category "Pokedex", afterwards you need to add a category that is the name of your region. This step is optional if you're creating serparate entries that anyone can add to their Pokedex Region. If you want to use a serparate pokemon/a pokemon that appears in someone elses region, you need to add your Region Category to the Pokemon's page in question.

Step 5
This is not really a step but this is about a Region. Regions are collections of Pokemon that appear somewhere in the (fan)world of Pokemon. You can use the Region's here to create collections of Pokemon. However, there are a few requirements for a Region.

If you are thinking, "Oh no, I want more in my region", you can do that, contact me User:Darkness Wizard, and I will give you the next set of numbers to work on. You can also contact me if you want to create a region!
