Happy January!  
Hello! This message is for all Nintendo fans out there.


It’s hard to believe that the first month of 2022 is already almost over! As January comes to a close and {{g|Legends: Arceus}} officially released worldwide, here are a few updates you should know about.  
September 20th starts [[Bulbapedia:Cross-Wiki Week|Cross-Wiki Week]]! What is '''Cross-Wiki Week'''? It's an annual event hosted by the [[Nintendo Independent Wiki Alliance]] to encourage collaboration across all of our NIWA wiki partners! This 10-day event (spanning two weekends) aims for editors to contribute to franchises outside of their normal activity. For full details, visit the official event page [https://niwanetwork.org/cross-wiki-week-2024/ here].  


As many know, Bulbapedia experimented by remaining open during the Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl release in order to test site stability and to maximize user participation. Due to the success observed last time, Bulbapedia will once again be remaining open to editing for Pokemon Legends: Arceus as well. Because this game is not a remake and may attract more traffic, staff will be monitoring site performance over the next several days and will determine if we need to reevaluate.
We encourage everyone to give it a try, even if it's only a few edits!


As a general reminder during this exciting time, please do not add information taken from other fansites - we don't allow plagiarism. This includes text, images, and data. Please reach out to a member of Staff if you are looking for ideas of specific tasks or projects we are looking for help with.
'''For participating editors''':
* When trying out a new wiki, be sure to check their policies and guidelines on how to help.
* Use the hashtag ''#cww'' in your edit summaries for a chance to win a Nintendo eShop card! Two winners will be drawn.


In other news, since we’re celebrating a new year and a new game, we thought there’d be no better time to bring on some new staff! Bulbapedia will be participating in [https://forums.bulbagarden.net/index.php?threads/bulbagarden-staff-drive-2022-questions-and-discussion.291167/#post-7384003 Bulbagarden's Official 2022 Staff Drive]. This time around, we’re looking for some passionate and savvy folks to join the team as {{bp|Junior Administrators}}. For a closer look at the role and the application, check out the link: https://bulbagarden.net/forms/index.php/376199?lang=en. We’ll be accepting applications until mid-February! If you have any questions or concerns about the application or selection process, please send a direct message to {{u|Pokemaster97}} or {{u|evkl}} on the Bulbagarden Forums or the Bulbagarden Discord server.  
'''For those new to [[Bulbapedia]]''', please check out the [[Bulbapedia:Cross-Wiki Week|Cross-Wiki Week landing page]], the [[Bulbapedia:Editor's Hub|Editor's Hub]], and the [[Bulbapedia:Bulletin Board|Bulletin Board]] for ways to help out. We look forward to seeing the expertise you bring to our Pokémon encyclopedia.


Until next time. Happy Editing!
This year, the primary focus is on editing ''wikis you don't usually edit''. Make sure to branch out! With many recent game releases and re-releases on [[Nintendo Switch Online]], this is a great time to ensure those smaller franchises get the attention they deserve.

Good luck and happy editing!

We encourage everyone to give it a try, even if it's only a few edits!

For participating editors:
