'''Encyclopaediae Pokémonis''', also stylised '''Encyclopædiæ Pokémonis''', is a [[:Category:Wiki Multilingual|multilingual]], [[:Category:Open content|open content]] ''Pokémon'' wiki [[:Category:Encyclopedia|encyclopaedia]] project.

==History==

The first [[User|person]] to conceive the idea of a {{tag|Pokémon}} wiki was Meowth346 of [[Pokémon Forever]].  Eventually, [[Bulbapedia]] itself was created in December [[:Category:FoundedIn2004|2004]], and opened to the public the following February.  In April [[:Category:FoundedIn2005|2005]], nYoo suggested a [[:Category:Wiki German|German]]-language version.  Later in the year, in August, the idea that would eventually spawn [[PokéWiki]] came to be.

Due to their both being open content [[wiki]] {{W|Pokémon}} encyclopedias, PokéWiki and Bulbapedia soon allied to form Encyclopædiæ Pokémonis, hoping that soon more would join the group.  Eventually, the [[:Category:Wiki Japanese|Japanese]]-language [[ポケモンWiki]] answered the call in June [[:Category:FoundedIn2006|2006]], having been created in April of that year.

On 6 April [[:Category:FoundedIn2007|2007]], the [[:Category:Wiki Polish|Polish]]-language [[Wikinezka]] joined the group.  The [[:Category:Wiki French|French]]-language [[Poképédia]] joined in September 2007, and the [[:Category:Wiki Portuguese|Portuguese]]-language [[LANDpedia]] joined in December 2007.  The [[:Category:Wiki Spanish|Spanish]]-language [[Pokéteca]] joined in August [[:Category:FoundedIn2009|2009]], while the [[:Category:Wiki Italian|Italian]]-language [[Pokémon Central Wiki]] joined the group in August [[:Category:FoundedIn2010|2010]].  The [[:Category:Wiki Chinese|Chinese]]-language [[52Poké Wiki]] joined in March [[:Category:FoundedIn2013|2013]].  The [[:Category:Wiki Spanish|Spanish]]-language [[WikiDex]] joined in May [[:Category:FoundedIn2018|2018]].

==Name==

[[:Category:Encyclopaediae Pokémonis|Encyclopædiæ Pokémonis]] is [[:Category:Wiki Latin|Latin]] for ''Encyclopedias of Pokémon''.  This translation takes the idea that 'Pokémon' is both the singular ''and'' plural one step further, by using the singular 'Pokémonis' rather than the plural 'Pokémonum'.

==Logo==

The [[:Category:WikiLogo|logo]] of [[Encyclopædiæ Pokémonis]] is a Poké Ball image superimposed over a polar {{W|azimuthal equidistant projection}} of the planet [[:Category:Earth|Earth]], reminiscent of the {{W|Flag of the United Nations}}.  The colour of the Poké Ball, as well as the colour of the underlying Earth, differs among the individual members of Encyclopaediae Pokémonis: Bulbapedia's is green, PokéWiki's is teal, Pokémon Wiki's is blue, Wikinezka's is red, Poképédia's is yellow, Pokémon Central's is indigo, 52Poké Wiki's is vermilion, LANDpedia's was orange, and Pokéteca's was brown.
