Hello Pokémon Fans! | |||
We've got some '''exciting updates''' about [[Bulbapedia]] to share with you today - let's get started! | |||
First, '''let's start thinking with Browsing Portals'''! A Browsing Portal is a new, curated way to navigate the encyclopedia; you can explore a variety of topics all from a single landing page. Starting off, we have portals prepared for '''[[Browse:Video Games|Video Games]]''', '''[[Browse:Animation|Animation]]''', and the '''[[Browse:Trading Card Game|Trading Card Game]]''' to help you navigate these media, with more to come later, so be sure to take a look. | |||
Next, '''user account name changes are now live'''! If you've been waiting for this feature — or are simply in the mood for a change — you can post your request on the [[Bulbapedia talk:Username policy|username policy talk page]] or message one of our many [[Bulbapedia:Staff|volunteer staff]] on their talk pages. They'll be happy to help! | |||
Now, we'd like to share a few '''policy updates''': | |||
* With an increasing number of leaks of TCG cards, we've '''updated our [[Bulbapedia:Unreleased materials policy|Unreleased Materials Policy]] to include illegally obtained cards'''. Going forward, leaks of cards and products that occur during the production process, such as theft or unauthorized photography from a printing facility, will not be covered on Bulbapedia. | |||
* In order to provide further clarity and consistency across projects, we've '''updated the [[Bulbapedia:Manual of style|manual of style]] with guidelines on [[Bulbapedia:Manual of style#Article titles and terminology|how to title articles]]'''. You can read the detailed update on Bulbanews here: [https://bulbagarden.net/threads/bulbapedia-messages-from-the-editor-may-27-2024.301778/ Bulbapedia: Messages from the Editor — May 27th, 2024] | |||
And finally, I'm pleased to share that '''Bulbagarden and Bulbapedia are hosting [https://bulbagarden.net/threads/come-help-us-in-growing-the-garden-applications-for-volunteer-positions-with-bulbagarden-and-the-bulbapedia-are-open-until-june-16th.301762/ a staff drive]'''! If you have any interest in joining our volunteer staff team, '''fill out our [https://bulbagarden.net/forms/index.php/351963?lang=en Bulbapedia Junior Administrator application]'''. We hope you take this chance to make a lasting impact on our community encyclopedia - we can't wait to hear from you! | |||
That’s all for now. See you next time! | |||
