It has been a fair while since we last announced staff hires and promotions, and the wait is finally over! We have several extremely dedicated users who spend countless hours diligently working to make Bulbapedia even better than it was the day before, and we'd like to give some of these users a sign of our appreciation for their work.
Effective immediately, new requirements regarding the use of four templates that are extremely important to the continued improvement of Bulbapedia have been mandated:


We would like to extend our congratulations to {{u|Berrenta}} and {{u|Blazingfist}} on your advancement from Junior Administrator to Administrator, and {{u|Force Fire}} on advancing from Administrator to Senior Administrator! You have all shown greatness in your old positions, and we know you will keep it up with your new titles!
:''When using the templates {{template|Split}}, {{template|Merge}}, {{template|Move}}, and {{template|DiscussDelete}} to nominate articles for administrative action, a section outlining the rationale for the nomination '''must''' be added to the article's talk page. Nominations lacking an outlined rationale will no longer be considered.''


We are also happy to announce and welcome {{u|Glik}} and {{u|Abcboy}} to the staff as new Junior Administrators! You both have shown that you have the right stuff, and we definitely know what you two are capable of great things! We hope to see you both shine brightly in your new positions!
An outlined rationale helps to expedite administrative action, and helps to prevent confusion and misunderstandings that can result in mistakes. Keep in mind, the staff aren't mind readers, and not every nomination reason is obvious.

Effective immediately, new requirements regarding the use of four templates that are extremely important to the continued improvement of Bulbapedia have been mandated:

When using the templates {{Split}}, {{Merge}}, {{Move}}, and {{DiscussDelete}} to nominate articles for administrative action, a section outlining the rationale for the nomination must be added to the article's talk page. Nominations lacking an outlined rationale will no longer be considered.

An outlined rationale helps to expedite administrative action, and helps to prevent confusion and misunderstandings that can result in mistakes. Keep in mind, the staff aren't mind readers, and not every nomination reason is obvious.
