Bulbapedia | Bulbapedia's '''code of conduct''' outlines acceptable behavior between users on Bulbapedia. The code of conduct applies to all interactions between users across all of Bulbapedia, including the main space and user space. It incorporates Bulbagarden’s {{bp|values}} into the policies of Bulbapedia. | ||
The Code of Conduct governs behavior, not the wiki's content; for content, please see the {{bp|manual of style}}. | |||
In this policy, unless indicated otherwise, {{bp|staff}} means any staff member on Bulbapedia, including those with higher roles (e.g. bureaucrats and individuals on the editorial board). | |||
