Howdy everyone and happy February! As we enter into a new decade of Pokémon and Bulbapedia, we figured it was time to share a few changes that have happened since our last update with you all!
Happy April! In an effort to become a bit more transparent with the community on what the Staff is up to, we are getting back to more regular Message from the Editor updates.


It is with heavy hearts that we’re announcing the retirement of {{u|Jo The Marten}} as Bulbapedia’s Head of Games. Bulbapedia’s games section grew exponentially under Jo’s leadership for the past several years; we wish her the best in her well-deserved retirement. Jo’s departure leaves a vacancy on the Editorial Board that will be filled in the coming weeks, so be on the lookout for that.  
'''Pages needing attention''': The Editorial Board has been diligently going through the backlog candidates for moves, merges, splits, and mainspacing to try to get some long overdue decisions rolled out. If you had a particular page that you wanted to bring to the staff’s attention for quicker review, please contact any staff member and we’ll do our best to expedite the discussion. We thank you for your patience as we work through these items.  


On a lighter note, a number of very deserving users who have gone above and beyond with their contributions have been hired as staff. Please help congratulate {{u|Celadonkey}}, {{u|Daniel Carrero}}, {{u|Frozen Fennec}}, {{u|Ruixiang95}}, and {{u|Wowy}} who have joined us as {{bp|Junior Administrator}}s. These users have been dedicated to Bulbapedia for several years and we cannot wait to see how they grow in their new roles!  
'''Username Change Requests''': Due to technical issues with the function we use to rename users, we will not be fulfilling user rename requests until further notice. We hope to have this feature back for use as soon as possible!


We have a few promotions within the staff as well! Congratulations to {{u|Chosen}}, {{u|CycloneGU}}, {{u|MisterE13}}, {{u|神奇超龍}}, {{u|Blazingfist}}, {{u|Tiddlywinks}}, and {{u|glik}} who are moving up in the ranks as well! We know these folks will flourish in their new positions as well.
'''Editor’s Hub''': Over the past several weeks, the Editorial Board has been working hard to find ways to make editing and working on the wiki more of a collaborative process for users. Stay tuned for pending additions to the current Editor’s Hub that will enhance the experience for users, old and new, alike. As always, any staff member is more than happy to listen to any suggestion for things or improvements you’d like to see brought to Bulbapedia.
 
On a last note, in an effort to simplify staff structure and overall user experience, the Editorial Board has decided to unify the staff of Bulbapedia and the Bulbagarden Archives. This process will be happening over the next several weeks. We hope this change will increase overall cohesion and collaboration between the two projects.
 
Lastly, we would also like to thank every user who has contributed to the wiki in any way. Bulbapedia would not be the place it is without all of you.

April 2 043

Happy April! In an effort to become a bit more transparent with the community on what the Staff is up to, we are getting back to more regular Message from the Editor updates.

Pages needing attention: The Editorial Board has been diligently going through the backlog candidates for moves, merges, splits, and mainspacing to try to get some long overdue decisions rolled out. If you had a particular page that you wanted to bring to the staff’s attention for quicker review, please contact any staff member and we’ll do our best to expedite the discussion. We thank you for your patience as we work through these items.

Username Change Requests: Due to technical issues with the function we use to rename users, we will not be fulfilling user rename requests until further notice. We hope to have this feature back for use as soon as possible!

Editor’s Hub: Over the past several weeks, the Editorial Board has been working hard to find ways to make editing and working on the wiki more of a collaborative process for users. Stay tuned for pending additions to the current Editor’s Hub that will enhance the experience for users, old and new, alike. As always, any staff member is more than happy to listen to any suggestion for things or improvements you’d like to see brought to Bulbapedia.
