As some of you may have seen recently, there is an {{bmgf|46076|iPhone Pokédex application}} that was recently released, which uses Bulbapedia to supply its content. Due to licensing issues and other concerns, this is a no-no on the app creator's part; Bulbapedia is a non-commercial entity, while said app is decidedly commercial.
Starting this Thursday night (the 5th) and possibly until sometime in the weekend, Bulbapedia will be closed to editing, due to maintenance work. During this time the staff will be taking care of a large-scale move that might be stressing to our servers, and for that reason regular users will not be able to submit any edits.


As the app's creators have not addressed these concerns despite Bulbagarden's efforts, Bulbapedia has begun to address these concerns for them. For those of you who view the site regularly, this has no effect on you; for those who edit regularly, you may notice that all of the Pokémon species articles have been temporarily protected from edits while we change variables. Don't worry; the wiki is not being vandalized, and all the changes being made are purely non-aesthetic ones.
There is no reason to be concerned about this. This move is done purely for the purpose of having a batter, more accurate Bulbapedia. Editing privileges will be returned to the users by the end of the weekend.


Bulbagarden and Bulbapedia take content copyrights very seriously; rest assured that we will never allow others to make profit from ''your'' hard work and contributions here.
Please do ''not'' start asking the staff about the nature of the move planned. This will be revealed during the weekend.

November 2

Starting this Thursday night (the 5th) and possibly until sometime in the weekend, Bulbapedia will be closed to editing, due to maintenance work. During this time the staff will be taking care of a large-scale move that might be stressing to our servers, and for that reason regular users will not be able to submit any edits.

There is no reason to be concerned about this. This move is done purely for the purpose of having a batter, more accurate Bulbapedia. Editing privileges will be returned to the users by the end of the weekend.

Please do not start asking the staff about the nature of the move planned. This will be revealed during the weekend.
