Description
Bulbapedia touts itself as "the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia". It was established in 2005, as a feature of the Pokémon fansite Bulbagarden.
Bulbapedia covers all elements of the Pokémon franchise, including the games, anime, other merchandise and the fandom.
Relationships
Bulbapedia is a founding member of the Encyclopaediae Pokémonis, a network of Pokémon wikis currently in seven different languages.
Bulbapedia is also a founding member of the Nintendo Independent Wiki Alliance, a network of English language 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. Template:NintendoWiki Template:PokemonWiki
Staff
Bulbapedia is overseen by a large Staff, consisting of an Editorial board and a team of administrators. There are over 40,000 registered users and more then 1000 active users. An exact wikiFactor for the site is impossible, with the one presented at the end of this page an estimate only. This is due to the long gap between when inbuilt wiki engine hit statistics stopped being collected by Bulbapedia, and when it started to use Google Analytics to track statistics in late 2009. Statistics from December 1, 2009 to July 12, 2010 alone would give a wikiFactor of 185. Given the wiki having existed for many years previous to this, the exact value can safely be assumed to be significantly higher.
