The '''Guild of Bulborbs''', also known simply as '''the Guild''', is a group of [[Special:UserList|user]]s dedicated to helping improve [[PikminFanon:About|Pikmin Fanon]], cooperating with one another and other users to achieve their goals.
 
The '''Guild of Bulborbs''', a group that is dedicated to helping improve the wiki.
 
= About =
 
The Guild of Bulborbs is a group of users that all work together to improve the wiki. Users who wish to join must first make a request to the Spotty Bulbear to join the Guild. If he/she approves, the Spotty Bulbear will present the user with an apprentice guild sig of the type they qualify for and wish to be (for example, if a user applies for the duties of an Apprentice Red Bulborb, they should not be made an Apprentice Orange Bulborb).
 
== Requirements ==
 
A few requirements exist for anyone who wishes to join the guild:
 
*Must be a registered user
 
*Must not have a bad history (trolling, spamming, etc.)
 
*Must be active
 
*Must be [[PikminFanon:Ranks#Leaf|Leaf Ranked]] or higher
 
*Must be willing to join in important guild decisions (the Spotty Bulbear makes the final ruling depending on what was decided, but ''all'' members should participate in any big decisions).
 
== Apprentices And Masters ==
 
''Apprentices'' are the beginning rank for those who join the Guild of Bulborbs. They are beginning in some particular duty related to their type. They are usually "mentored" and helped by ''Masters''. If they participate long enough and fulfill all the requirements, a Spotty Bulbear can upgrade them to "Master" status.
 
Masters have been at the job for a while and are the experts of their particular field. If an Apprentice becomes a Master, they are presented with a new "master sig" by the Spotty Bulbear. Masters have more duties for their job than Apprentices, and must be willing to help and guide Apprentices.
 
A third rank, "Leader", also exists. This only applies to the Spotty Bulbear. Only one can exist at a time (see further down the page for more information on the Spotty Bulbear). A Bulbear can allow more users into the Guild and can upgrade Apprentices to Masters. However, they notably ''cannot'' determine who is the next Leader. If they choose to step down from their role or have been absent without known cause for three or more weeks, they are considered to no longer be the Spotty Bulbear (if vacation or some other factor is involved and known, then they do not lose rank)*. A vote will be held in which Masters can apply to become the next Spotty Bulbear and present their case for why they should be the next Spotty Bulbear and what they would do if given that position. They will also provide a list of replies to see if they qualify for the rank. Once three users have applied and been accepted as candidates, the rest will all hold a vote**. If it is a tie between some, those who did not tie will be excluded and votes will be collected again. This will continue until a new Spotty Bulbear is voted in, who will then create a Guild signature for himself.
 
1*If the old Spotty Bulbear returns from a period of inactivity, a vote will be held between the old and the new. The vote will act much like votes for a new leader
 
2**Apprentices and Masters can both vote and each vote holds equal importance with any other vote. Candidates cannot vote.
 
== Guild Signatures ==
 
Guild signatures are the "badge of office" for Guild Members. Only the Spotty Bulbear can create and give Guild Sigs. Guild sigs appear as they do below, and the user's name will follow immediately after. Guild sigs are used when dealing with Guild matters and duties, but are not supposed to be the primary sig used for the Fanon. Guild sigs are mandatory when dealing with Guild matters as it indicates that a Guild member is responsible.
 
Guild sigs should always follow the pattern shown below for different ranks (besides the username at the end).

== Red Bulborbs ==

These users are dedicated to improving the quality of articles.

These users could be considered the "welcome face" of Pikmin Fanon. Their main duty is to assist new users and welcome them to the wiki. As such, they will need to often check [[Special:Log/newusers]]. Also, they should be willing to check the Ask Louie forum and answer questions there. Of course, they must also be willing to teach an apprentice of their kind to do their job.

Orange Bulborbs are ever alert for spamming, flaming, and the like. They should often check the recent changes list for suspicious edits and also monitor suspicious users for any bad conduct. They must also delete "junk pages" when these pages appear. They must also train an Apprentice of their kind in their duties.

Apprentice Orange Bulborbs must be on the watch for spamming, flaming, and anything else that is negative on the wiki. If they find a page that is junk and needs deletion, they must inform an Administrator. Must also check recent changes list for anything that appears suspicious. They do not have the duty of monitoring suspicious users, but should inform an Orange Bulborb if they believe a user merits monitoring.
 
==== Requirements ====
 
*Must be a registered user
 
*Must not have a spamming/flaming history
 
*Must be fairly active
 
*Must be knowledgeable about the history and Recent Changes pages

== Bulbear ==
 
 
[[File: Spotty Bulbear.jpg|left|100px]]. A special rank that has no Apprentice. Only one user can be the current Spotty Bulbear. The Spotty Bulbear is the "head" of the Guild of Bulborbs. The Spotty Bulbear will deal with important matters concerning the Guild of Bulborbs. He is also the only person who can officially make a user a member of the Guild of Bulborbs(or "upgrade" an Apprentice to a higher status), although other members can "suggest" a user that they think is eligible to the Spotty Bulbear. Spotty Bulbears must be fair but also look critically to see if users meet the standards for one position or another. Although they certainly can participate in improving articles, welcoming users, searching for spam, etc., these are not mandatory duties.
 
Whenever a user joins the Guild or upgrades from Apprentice to Master, the Spotty Bulbear will have to approve them first. If he does, he will present them with a new guild sig.
 
=== Requirements ===
 
*Must be a Bureaucrat or a well-respected Administrator
 
*Must have been an apprentice and master in at least one of the other types
 
*Must have a fair and honest reputation without any spamming/trolling history
 
*Must be very active
 
*Must have achieved a [[PikminFanon:Ranks#Master Flower|Master Flower]] or higher
