Junior Admins

Archives staff are users who have been granted administrative powers by the Leadership 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.

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.

Junior Administrators

The Junior Administrator group is the most basic staff group. These users have the ability to move files, among other trivial privileges.

Leadership Board

The Archives Leadership Board are the people who make the decisions on how to run Bulbagarden Archives. Because the Archives interacts sufficiently with Bulbapedia, many of them are also staff members on Bulbapedia.

Becoming an Administrator

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