Bulbapedia:Leadership Board: Difference between revisions

The '''Leadership Board''' is the authority on official policy and style used on Bulbapedia.

The Leadership Board shall consist of the Bulbapedia Editor-in-Chief, Deputy Editor-in-Chief, as well as a select number of members chosen by the Editor-in-Chief. Former members of the Editorial Board generally retain some staff privileges upon resignation; former Editors-in-Chief may be invited back in an advisory position.

If you need to contact an Leadership Board member, choose the administrator who you deem most suitable to answer your question. As most of the Board govern specific areas, this should not be too hard. However, do not forget that there are other {{bp|staff member}}s who are more than happy to field questions as well.

The current membership of the Leadership Board is listed below:

{{AdminCell/Basic|Ataro|Former Head of Manga}}

{{AdminCell/Basic|Frozen Fennec|}}

{{AdminCell/Basic|Nuva-kal|}}

{{AdminCell/Basic|SnorlaxMonster|Special Assistant, Bulbanews Editorial Board}}

{{AdminCell/Basic|Tiddlywinks|Former Head of Games}}

These are former members of the Leadership Board. Recent former members may retain full staff powers, although some former editors now have reduced privileges as a security measure or due to prolonged inactivity.

The Leadership Board, being the ultimate in Bulbapedia authority, has the ability to set official, binding policy. Statements from the Leadership Board as a whole and from members thereof are to be read as the law of Bulbapedia, unless contradicted by a higher power (in the case of individual members, by the Editor-in-Chief, and in the case of the Board itself, by Archaic).  

Leadership Board members are allowed unlimited use of the userspace, where they may put test templates and other things relevant to Bulbapedia and the Pokémon series.

The Leadership Board conducts discussions on matters of style, policy, and position of Bulbapedia in the <span class="plainlinks">[http://forums.bulbagarden.net/index.php?forums/bulbapedia-administration.192/ Bulbapedia Administration]</span> forum on the Bulbagarden Forums, while some discussions may also be held in the main <span class="plainlinks">[http://forums.bulbagarden.net/index.php?forums/bulbawiki-forum.195/ Bulbawiki Discussion]</span> forum, shared with Bulbagarden Archives and Bulbanews.

From time to time, the Leadership Board may call for volunteers from among Bulbapedia's editors to become {{bp|Junior Administrators}}, allowing them greater editing power on the wiki, such as the ability to edit protected pages.
