Welcome to 2024, Pokémon fans! I hope everyone is enjoying the [[Mochi Mayhem]] epilogue to [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]]!
Hello! This message is for all Nintendo fans out there.


For those of you who don't know me, I am '''Maverick Nate''', and I am the new Bulbapedia {{bp|Editor-in-Chief}}. Throughout my now over 16 year tenure here, I have led numerous initiatives and projects at Bulbagarden, most notably Project TCG for over a decade! But enough about me, let's talk Bulbapedia!
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].  


With Bulbapedia's 19th anniversary quickly approaching next month, join me in celebrating our [[Bulbapedia:About|52,000th article]]: '''[[Morichika]]''' from [[Pokémon Conquest]], created by none other than the all-around ''{{m|Trailblaze}}''r, {{u|minibug}}! I look forward to seeing what other ''{{m|Trick}}''s they have in store for {{bp|Project Sidegames}}. '''Go minibug!'''
We encourage everyone to give it a try, even if it's only a few edits!


I would also like to use this time to share two important updates from site leadership. We Bulbagarden staff are invested in the health and success of our encyclopedia and userbase. Heading into 2024, we will be emphasizing our [[Bulbapedia:Code of conduct|standards of conduct]] for editors. The {{bp|code of conduct}} details the base-line, respectful behavior we expect from ''all'' contributors to the website, so I encourage everyone, staff and users alike, to take a moment to read and reread these expectations so that we can build a Better Bulbapedia.
'''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.


For my second announcement, after much consideration, I am excited to announce that in the near future, we will be modernizing our maximum file upload limit from '''2MB to 8MB''' and our general maximum resolution to '''1920x1920'''. If you need to upload a file that exceeds either of these limits, please partner with a {{bp|Staff}} member. With that said, our image library continues to grow exponentially, so staff will be monitoring how this increase affects the sustainability of the Bulbagarden Archives and our image resources going forward. Anticipate more updates on that front coming soon!
'''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.


Join us as we discover what is on the ''[[Pokémon Horizons: The Series|Horizon]]'' for Bulbapedia in the upcoming year!
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!

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

September 20th starts 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 here.

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

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.

For those new to Bulbapedia, please check out the Cross-Wiki Week landing page, the Editor's Hub, and the Bulletin Board for ways to help out. We look forward to seeing the expertise you bring to our Pokémon encyclopedia.

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!
