Archives:Staff: Difference between revisions

Archives administrators are users who have been granted administrative powers by the editorial board. They have more editing functions at their disposal than regular users, and are responsible for watching over the Bulbagarden Archives and settling any disputes. Many of them are also administrators on Bulbapedia.

Users who have contributed regularly and who have demonstrated initiative are candidates for administratorship.
