Archives:Staff: Difference between revisions

Archives administrators are users who have been granted administrative powers by the Archives Advisory Council. 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 or Bulbanews.

List of administrators

See: List of administrators

• Those administrators who are also administrators on other Bulbawiki sites are listed as such.
• Members of Bulbapedia's editorial board are listed in green.
• If in need of administrator assistance, please contact an Active administrator for quickest results; all active administrators generally check messages daily. To see which administrators have been recently online, see the list of recent changes. If you cannot find an active administrator, try finding one listed as Around; these staff members are considered active on other Bulbagarden projects, but don't spend as much time here.

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