BP:Staff

Bulbapedia's staff consists of five levels of responsibility, ranging from Junior Administrators to the Executive Staff. In addition to their powers and duties on the wiki, Bulbapedia staff have special ranks on the Bulbagarden forums and Bulbagarden Discord that allow access to dedicated areas where they discuss key decisions and strategic planning for Bulbapedia.

What Bulbapedia looks for in its staff is a willingness to contribute meaningfully. In accordance to Bulbagarden's four core values, Bulbapedia staff act as leaders for the encyclopedia, fostering a welcoming and inclusive environment for all contributors.

To become a member of staff, users are expected to contribute at a higher level by developing an expertise in Bulbapedia's practices and styles and then using that expertise to help less experienced contributors. Staff members are encouraged to explore new and unique ways to develop Bulbapedia's content, even regarding superficially ‘boring’ subjects.

Staff Values

Main article: Bulbapedia:Values

1) Providing fans, staff, and the wider community with a safe and inclusive place to connect with each other and discuss all things Pokémon

2) Celebrating the diversity of the Pokémon community, and supporting these communities and marginalized groups through our platform and direct action

3) Offering the community and staff a chance to impact Bulbagarden and all Pokémon fans through opportunities to contribute, grow, develop, and lead

4) Becoming "the very best, like no one ever was" — seeking to challenge ourselves, push forward, and strive to improve ourselves and our community

Staff expectations

Expectations of all Bulbapedia staff members include, but are not limited to, the following points:

  • Participate in content expansion and editing

  • Develop inexperienced editors by teaching Bulbapedia's styles and guidelines
  • Assist with maintenance/backend tasks (moving/deleting images, updating protected pages, etc.)
