** Short links: There are several quick links which are not only useful, but common style. For example, when linking to a Pokémon article, typing <code><nowiki>{{p|Pikachu}}</nowiki></code> results in {{p|Pikachu}}, which you may notice links to the article ''Pikachu (Pokémon)'' on Bulbapedia. Another quick link is <code><nowiki>{{m|Splash}}</nowiki></code> for the move {{m|Splash}}, for example.

**External links: Other links can be done with using a single bracket. In this instance, a vertical line is not necessary to divide the name from the link. However, the full address is needed to link to a page. For example, to link to the Bulbagarden forums, typing <code><nowiki>[http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/index.php Bulbagarden Forums]</nowiki></code> would result in [http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/index.php Bulbagarden Forums]. External links are primarily used to cite sources and to link to any related Web sites.

***However, '''do not use any links or templates in an article blurb.''' It will seriously mess up the [[Front page]] and the {bp|User:BulbaBot|evil robot}}.
* [[Image:001Bulbasaur.png|thumb|100px|Bulbasaur]] Images: Images are added in a manner similar to links. To add in an image, link to the image's name, but add in '''Image:''' before the name. For example, <code><nowiki>[[Image:Pokébuck sign.gif]]</nowiki></code> will add in a commonly used image, [[Image:Pokébuck sign.gif]]. Formatting attributes can be added to an image as well, divided with vertical lines. For example, <nowiki>[[Image:001Bulbasaur.png|thumb|100px|Bulbasaur]]</nowiki> will add the image to the right. All images are uploaded to [http://archives.bulbagarden.net Bulbagarden Archives].

* Headlines: These are not to be confused with traditional news article headlines. Wiki articles are divided by levels of headlines, much like a large outline. These are indicated by equals signs on either side of the headline text. There are six levels of headlines, with one equals sign being the first and highest level, which would look like <code><nowiki>=Headline text=</nowiki></code>, and six equals signs being the sixth and lowest level, which would look like <code><nowiki>======Headline text======</nowiki></code>. First and second level headlines are underlined. Text size decreases with lower level headlines.
