DO NOT EDIT YOUR POSTS IN THIS THREAD. DOUBLE POST. TRIPLE POST, BUT DO *NOT* EDIT.
Post small changes to pages on the site here. Fundamental idea: if there is something wrong with a page on the site and your fix does not change the structure of it, then post it here instead of making a new topic. (Quick addition: if your change is controversial, this is probably not the topic for it. All C&C forums have an analysis discussion thread for such changes, where the relevant people will see them quicker; if your change is to a non-analysis page, feel free to post it here though)
Why are there no posts here?: When something gets fixed in this thread the post is deleted, don't be weirded out by the lack of posts!
SCMS people: You don't need to post here. Just make the change yourself. If you fix someone else's problem, please post that you did so.
When corrections are made by Site Staff, the post reporting the error will be deleted.
Rules
~ It would be wonderful if you linked to the page you want to correct, that makes fixing it that much quicker. Please link to the page on the site. I'm tired of trying to find the page to edit something, only to read through the whole thing and realize you were talking about the ADV analysis or something dumb. If you just say something like "Geodude needs to have 5 more Attack EVs on its Rock Throw set" without linking to the analysis, you will be infracted. If you can't take the time to just add a link, then it's not that helpful.
~ If the errors you find are limited to certain parts of a page, it's a great idea to clarify in which areas your edits are located. For example, "On Kakuna's 'Ubers Support' set, x needs to be capitalized". Better yet is quoting the context so the section you're talking about is quickly and easily found.
~ If your change cannot be made by regular badgeholders or staff members, this is not the thread for it. Regular badge holders can edit analyses, articles, and other "unique" site pages, i.e. pretty much everything that was written in a workshop-like subforum; changes to these pages should go here. However, if, instead, your change is a more structural change, e.g. involves editing a database file (e.g. is to move descriptions or Pokemon learnsets), a template (e.g. the placeholder hyperlinks that appear on any empty dex page), or anything that isn't text (e.g. a broken sprite or 3D model), then post in the Dex bug report thread.
NOTICE #1: Badged members, do NOT just auto-correct all the suggestions. A lot of the time, the suggestion isn't grammatically correct.
NOTICE #2: Be clear about what you have fixed and always make a post AFTER the corrected post to note this.
NOTICE #3: I've noticed that for some reason on the credits page that strings of text will move around the page in between edits from when a person edits the page and when someone caches it. Nobody is doing this on purpose, and it irritates me that it happens, though it mostly happens at the very bottom of the page after the last </dd> tag. For a while there it was "Symphx" that was jumping down, and then a few times it was "ed seve" that jumped. IDK why or how this happens, just be aware that it does.

PSA:
The Smogdex is in a transitional stage at the moment. work is underway on a new dex that will be the merger of the smogdex and the PSdex. Starting with gen 8, the smogdex uses the data package used by the merged dex (https://github.com/smogon/data/), which is built from the PS data source. for any given bug, there are two possibilities, one is that there is a bug in the data package, and the other is that there is a bug in the PS data source. there have been a couple of regressions in the PS data source, but if it's not gen 7 related then it's much more likely a bug in the data package.
The data package is very much a WIP so there isn't much documentation, but if anyone is interested in working on this project they can reach me on discord chaos#1111 or the smogon/ps development discord.
