Hi Bulbapedia readers! Today, we have a '''few announcements'''.
Hello! This message is for all Nintendo fans out there.


First, please take a look at '''two additional [[:Category:Browsing Portals|Browsing Portals]]'''! Stock up before the big battle with our new portals for '''[[Browse:Items|Items]]''' and '''[[Browse:Characters|Characters]]'''. Look forward to more coming soon!
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].  


Next, let's talk about our '''[[Bulbapedia:What's Growing On|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|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 and help the encyclopedia grow!
We encourage everyone to give it a try, even if it's only a few edits!


Now, allow me to congratulate the '''new {{bp|Junior Administrators}}''' joining our volunteer staff team! Give a round of applause to {{u|C.Ezra.M}}, {{u|FolksCallMeHilbert}}, {{u|Hikaru Wazana}}, {{u|Lakelimbo}}, {{u|Meeper12346}}, {{u|minibug}}, {{u|Pikiwyn}}, {{u|SuperPikaPool13}}, {{u|Thespeon196}}, and {{u|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 [https://twitter.com/Bulbapedia X (Twitter) account].
'''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.


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:
'''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.
* Developing a new, user-friendly infobox for our {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} pages: ([[Bulbapedia talk:Project Pokédex#Upgraded Pokémon Infobox|dedicated discussion space]])
* Splitting the [[Pokémon anime]] page: ([[Talk:Pokémon the Series#Split discussion|dedicated discussion space]])
* Refreshing our TCG card pages, starting with making the card text templates mobile friendly


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