:''Not to be confused with [[Pokémon Wiki]].''

'''Bulbapedia''' touts itself as "the community-driven {{tag|Pokémon}} encyclopedia".  The [[wiki]] was established in 2005, as a feature of the Pokémon fansite Bulbagarden.

Bulbapedia covers all elements of the Pokémon franchise, including the {{tag|games}}, {{tag|anime}}, other merchandise and the {{tag|fandom}}.

==Relationships==
Bulbapedia is a founding member of the [[Encyclopædiæ Pokémonis]], a network of Pokémon wikis currently in nine different [[:Category:Wiki Language|languages]].

Bulbapedia is also a founding member of the [[Nintendo Independent Wiki Alliance]] (NIWA), a network of English language {{tag|Nintendo}} wikis owned and operated by independent fan sites.

As part of the [[Bulbawiki]] network, Bulbapedia works closely with [[Bulbanews]], a Pokémon news wiki, and the [[Bulbagarden Archives]], the Bulbawiki image repository.

==Staff==
Bulbapedia is overseen by a large <span class=plainlinks>[http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Bulbapedia:Staff Staff]; consisting of an [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Bulbapedia:Editorial_board Editorial board] and a team of [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Bulbapedia:Administrators administrators]</span>.  There are over 50,000 registered users, and more than 2000 active users.  An exact [[:Category:wikiFactor|wikiFactor]] for the site is impossible, with the one presented at the end of this page only an estimate.  This is due to the long gap between when inbuilt [[:Category:Wiki Engine|wiki engine]] hit statistics stopped being collected by Bulbapedia, and when it started to use [https://www.google.com/intl/en_ALL/analytics/index.html Google Analytics] to track statistics in late 2009.  Statistics from December 1, 2009 to December 1, 2010 alone would give a wikiFactor of 268.  Given that the wiki has existed for many years previous to this, the exact value can safely be assumed to be significantly higher.
