My protest against the results of forums voting about Pokémon redirects
With all honesty, I have to argue with the results of Official Voting on Bulbagarden Forums concerning te changes to the current Pokémon redirect system. The voting was conducted in an unfair and manipulated way - the organizing admins didn't mention the most important consequence of the system change - the entire Bulbapedia will have to be closed from non-admin editing for at least a week in order to move all pages and update redirects/links without unneccessary problem. This means yet another unneccessary and overlong closure of Bulbapedia and yet another hurdle in its way to completeness. It is very sad that instead of going forwards in covering the Pokémon franchise, the Bulbapedia administrators prefer to waste their time on some arbitrary problems. It is also very sad that Bulbapedia administators don't fully inform their users about what they are choosing. I am sure that if the potential closure was mentioned, the voting results would be different. Also, it is very saddening that such important issues to Bulbapedia are being decided on the Forums, which prevents a percent of users (myself included) to express their opinion about the matter. Everyone should have his right to care for Bulbapedia's future. And the way the voting was done, I'm feeling purposefully excluded and discriminated (let alone the fact that my ban from Bulbagarden Forums was illegal and its explanation was sheer idiocy). For stated reasons, I sadly have to deem the voting ILLEGAL and I demand a new voting, this time on Bulbapedia (so that all users can decide, not just a part of them and to make sure that the results aren't forged [the poll system of the forums is too easy to forge]).
This voting is just yet another example of the Bulbapedia's recent mismanagement and proves that this Wiki's situation is more than saddening. Am I the only person who really cares about this Wiki?
