As we move closer and closer to Generation V, the Bulbapedia community continues to expand. Welcome to all our new users (please read the {{bp|welcome|rules and guidelines}} to help you contribute) and welcome to our new staff members: {{u|Tina}}, {{u|Umeko}}, and {{u|Zesty Cactus}} as Bulbapedia {{bp|Junior Administrator}}s and {{u|Jello}} and {{u|PsychicRider}} as Bulbagarden Archives Junior Administrators. These guys should be your first stop for simple questions about the wiki.
With the continuous server issues, Bulbapedia regrets to inform you that the rounded corners that have become so standard will all be removed until further notice. While those without Firefox have not been able to see them, the two-month-old {{template|roundy}} template, which brought rounded corners to those who are not Firefox users, has been suspected of being the centerpoint of the problem.


With more and more information about the fifth generation of Pokémon coming out by the week, we need to make sure the information we're putting out is correct. This means waiting for announcements from [[Pokémon Sunday]], [[CoroCoro]] and other official sources before information goes onto the mainspace. As speculation often builds up before these publications come out, pages may be protected by staff. We ask that you do not try to circumvent these measures; they are put in place to ensure Bulbapedia has accurate, high quality information.
Please do not remove the template from pages on which it is used; hopefully it is ''not'' the problem and rounded corners, as well as editing, will return soon.


Additionally, we need to remind you all that the {{bp|talk pages}} of the wiki are not meant for discussion of the subject of the article, but its content. Note the difference: chatting about what you think might happen, or your opinion about a new Pokémon is not permitted and should be taken to the <span class=plainlinks>[http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/index.php Bulbagarden forums]</span>; discussing ways we can improve the article or pointing out flaws is what these pages should be used for.
Also, congratulations to our fellows at ZeldaWiki.org for getting the remake that Zelda fans so desired.
 
And even though we've got new games on the horizon, don't forget about the older games. There are still lots of articles that need information and cleanup to meet Bulbapedia's standards. It's easier if we all chip in - don't be afraid to lend a hand!

With the continuous server issues, Bulbapedia regrets to inform you that the rounded corners that have become so standard will all be removed until further notice. While those without Firefox have not been able to see them, the two-month-old {{roundy}} template, which brought rounded corners to those who are not Firefox users, has been suspected of being the centerpoint of the problem.

Please do not remove the template from pages on which it is used; hopefully it is not the problem and rounded corners, as well as editing, will return soon.

Also, congratulations to our fellows at ZeldaWiki.org for getting the remake that Zelda fans so desired.
