Bulbapedia: Messages from the Editor — July 19th, 2024

Hi Bulbapedia readers! Today, we have a few announcements.

First, please take a look at two additional Browsing Portals! Stock up before the big battle with our new portals for Items and Characters. Check out the previews below, and look forward to more coming soon!


Next, let's talk about our What's Growing On newsletter. For those who haven't heard of What's Growing On, it's a monthly post on Bulbanews celebrating our dedicated contributors and the excellent additions they make to the encyclopedia. You can read our new comprehensive history here: Bulbapedia:What's Growing On! Now, you may be asking how you can appear in the newsletter. Well, you are in luck! Introducing the Bulbapedia Bulletin Board! The Bulletin Board is a place where staff post a curated list of tasks: if you complete one, you guarentee yourself a spot in the next issue of What's Growing On! We hope you take this chance to plant your name help the encyclopedia grow!

Now, allow me to congratulate the new Junior Administrators joining our volunteer staff team! Give a round of applause to C.Ezra.M, FolksCallMeHilbert, Hikaru Wazana, Lakelimbo, Meeper12346, minibug, Pikiwyn, SuperPikaPool13, Thespeon196, and Welkamo! We look forward to seeing the exciting contributions they will bring to Bulbapedia. In other staffing news, our Social Media team has bolstered its ranks, providing a refreshed focus on the Bulbapedia dedicated accounts. Expect to see fresh new graphics and posts broadcasting our most and least visited Pokémon pages on the Bulbapedia X (Twitter) account.

Finally, as we wrap up work on our current projects, here are the upcoming content improvements you can expect to see in the near future:

• Developing a new, user-friendly infobox for our Pokémon pages: (dedicated discussion space here)
• Splitting the Pokémon anime page: (dedicated discussion space here)
• Refreshing our TCG card pages, starting with making the card text templates mobile friendly

That’s all for now. See you next time!
