This is a temporary message to all editors of Bulbapedia; a more comprehensive one will soon replace it.
Just as Bulbapedia upgraded in the time leading up to {{game|Platinum}} during 2008, we must make certain that we keep ourselves up to date for anything new that occurs in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}. We will be continuing to renew the various infoboxes around the wiki, at times breaking them in order to get them to work better, much as the Pokémon games did with the start of [[Generation III]].


With the [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|remakes of Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions]] confirmed, we would like to let you know that the administration of Bulbapedia is going through the updating process in a careful and comprehensive way. For the time being, '''''please refrain from updating pages relating to the remakes with information until given the O.K,''''' as we are only human and would like to be able to check all pages and make sure that speculation is not present.
At the same time, although we are all excited about the remakes, a warning must remain in place: do not add details if you are unsure of their veracity, and as always make sure not to speculate in articles. When in doubt, bring it up on the talk page, but keep in mind that talk pages are not for wild speculation (save that for the forums). No matter what you think will come of the remakes, '''nothing''' is certain until their release (not even their release date).
 
And a small note to our newer users: please, lurk first. Find out how the wiki works by watching other edits. Even our editor-in-chief started that way, so there's no telling how far you'll go by watching what works and what doesn't.


Please keep this in mind for the coming days. Thank you.

Just as Bulbapedia upgraded in the time leading up to Pokémon Platinum during 2008, we must make certain that we keep ourselves up to date for anything new that occurs in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver. We will be continuing to renew the various infoboxes around the wiki, at times breaking them in order to get them to work better, much as the Pokémon games did with the start of Generation III.

At the same time, although we are all excited about the remakes, a warning must remain in place: do not add details if you are unsure of their veracity, and as always make sure not to speculate in articles. When in doubt, bring it up on the talk page, but keep in mind that talk pages are not for wild speculation (save that for the forums). No matter what you think will come of the remakes, nothing is certain until their release (not even their release date).

And a small note to our newer users: please, lurk first. Find out how the wiki works by watching other edits. Even our editor-in-chief started that way, so there's no telling how far you'll go by watching what works and what doesn't.
