Bulbapedia is finally open for editing. However the servers are still under very heavy load, which you may notice results in longer load times and occasional errors. To help limit the load, userspace editing is strictly limited to one edit per day, using the UTC clock at the top of every page. We would also like to remind you that the articles are the main purpose of Bulbapedia, so please edit them as well. Due to the inherent unimportance of trivia sections, we formally request editing and discussion of trivia sections be left alone for the time being.  
As the [[Black and White]] hype continues and so does the high server load, we have a couple of announcements for our valuable users. To begin with [[Bulbagarden Archives]], a new rule has been implemented - that personal images are no longer allowed on the Archives. All the previously uploaded personal images will be deleted after May 31, so kindly save any of your personal images before they are all deleted. There are plenty of image hosting sites which can be used for personal images instead.
 
   
Secondly, several users have been receiving edit requests via e-mail. If you receive one, you should ask yourself 1) why the sender can't make the edit themselves, and 2) why the edit request has been made off-site. The answer to both is that the sender has been permanently blocked from editing, and is requesting that poor edits be made. In fulfilling these edit requests, you are helping a user to circumvent their block. Instead, report it to a staff member and ignore or block any further e-mails you receive. Do not reply to the e-mail, this will allow the sender to contact you directly if they are not already.
As far as [[Bulbapedia]] is concerned, a new userspace restriction has been put in place - that articles about anime Pokémon must not be created in the userspace. Articles for notable Pokémon should be created in the mainspace once the relevant episode airs. Articles created before the change will not be deleted until their notability is decided.
 
   
{{bp|Staff}} would like to remind users to be careful with their e-mail address. We can only block e-mails that are sent through the wiki. The [http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/javachat.php Bulbapedia IRC] channel, '''[irc://irc.systemnet.info/bulbapedia #bulbapedia]''', remains in need of activity. Remember the preview button, and happy editing.
Last but not the least, the [[Bulbagarden forums]] are currently being upgraded to vBulletin 4.1.3. Until the upgrade is complete, any suggestions, comments or issues can also be voiced on the [http://www.bulbagarden.net/vb41test/ test forums] or on the [http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/javachat.php Bulbapedia IRC] channel, '''[irc://irc.systemnet.info/bulbapedia #bulbapedia]'''.
   
Remember the preview button, not to add trivia and one userspace edit per day. Thanks to all of our users for dedicating their precious time and contributing. Have fun!

May 25

As the Black and White hype continues and so does the high server load, we have a couple of announcements for our valuable users. To begin with Bulbagarden Archives, a new rule has been implemented - that personal images are no longer allowed on the Archives. All the previously uploaded personal images will be deleted after May 31, so kindly save any of your personal images before they are all deleted. There are plenty of image hosting sites which can be used for personal images instead.

As far as Bulbapedia is concerned, a new userspace restriction has been put in place - that articles about anime Pokémon must not be created in the userspace. Articles for notable Pokémon should be created in the mainspace once the relevant episode airs. Articles created before the change will not be deleted until their notability is decided.

Last but not the least, the Bulbagarden forums are currently being upgraded to vBulletin 4.1.3. Until the upgrade is complete, any suggestions, comments or issues can also be voiced on the test forums or on the Bulbapedia IRC channel, #bulbapedia.

Remember the preview button, not to add trivia and one userspace edit per day. Thanks to all of our users for dedicating their precious time and contributing. Have fun!
