While Bulbapedia is indeed a community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia, every community needs leaders, and the senior staff at Bulbagarden feel that an official voice should exist to have a final say in issues and disputes, as well as in the appearance of Bulbapedia's content, allowing Bulbapedia to remain consistent and aesthetically pleasing.

The Editorial Board shall consist of the Bulbapedia Editor-in-Chief as well as six Bureaucrats chosen by the Editor-in-Chief. The Bulbanews and Bulbagarden Archives Editors-in-Chief will sit on the board, and their opinions will be considered on issues regarding Bulbapedia, however, they will not have an official vote on Bulbawiki issues except in the case that the issue affects Bulbanews and Bulbagarden Archives as well as Bulbapedia. Former Bulbapedia Editors-in-Chief remain in advisory roles to the board, while former members of the Editorial Board retain {{bp|Bureaucrat}} status indefinitely, except in cases that they resign this status.

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.


For the main Editorial Board, seat order is a formality that should be used when contacting them via talkpage on Bulbapedia-related issues. Editorial Board members should be contacted in reverse numerical order on questions of Bulbapedia policy and style, most especially if they have [[Special:Recentchanges|recently edited the wiki]], so as to ensure a more timely response. The holders of seats 8 and 9 should only be contacted if none of the main Editorial Board is around, while former Editors-in-Chief and Archaic should be contacted only in ''extreme'' emergencies.
If you need to contact an Editorial 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 members}} who are more than happy to field questions as well.
