Uploading checklist
Before you upload a file, please make sure you have done the following:
- Did you use a descriptive but concise file name?
- Did you make sure that the file name has no errors? Renaming media files is tedious.
- Have you provided detailed information in the summary, including source information?
- Have you added categories to your images so they can be found easily later on?
- Have you tagged the images appropriately?
- Are you going to use the image on a Bulbagarden project? Is the image relevant?
- See also: Image use policy
If you are confused about how to upload a file, read our guide on uploading images or see the Archives FAQ.
