Got a spare minute? The Archives need some love. See the to-do list to find a way to help.
If you upload a new image make sure you name and categorize it properly. If in doubt, ask an admin or see our FAQ page.

Welcome to the Bulbagarden Archives, SuiScorpio!

As a new user, you may wish to learn a few things that will be useful in your uploading:

The Manual of Style, or MoS, outlines the format and guidelines of all images on Bulbagarden Archives.

All of our administrators are here to help! Talk to them if you have any questions or problems with the Archives.

Tagging images with correct licenses and categories is a must. These guidelines will help you learn more about tagging images.

Miscellaneous
  • Please read the checklist when you upload media files. The checklist is there to make sure you are doing everything necessary when uploading said media files.
  • Be sure to tag and categorize all images. This helps organize the vast amount of images we have here.
  • Check if your image already exists by searching through categories, and Bulbapedia pages. This action will help prevent unnecessary duplicates from appearing.
  • When adding a licensing tag to anime or game screenshots, please avoid just choosing "Screenshot". This is not descriptive and places the images in the wrong category. Make sure to choose "Screenshot from a Pokémon game," or "Screenshot from the Pokémon anime." This will put them in the right categories, and help keep the Archives clean.
  • Does your image have a purpose? Will you be using it on a Bulbagarden Project? Avoid uploading images because you think they are "Cute" or "Awesome". That clutters the Archives.
  • Personal images are limited to two for each User. Personal images include personal logos, personal trainer sprites, drawings, trainer cards and mostly any image that would only be used in the User: namespace and have no encyclopedic value to Bulbagarden and its affiliates. Please tag these with the {{i-Personal}} template for easier organization. Under no circumstance should a photograph of one's self ever be uploaded onto Bulbapedia Archives.
  • In addition, please upload images with meaningful names. Names that are just numbers, for example, do not describe anything about the image, and can make it difficult for searchers. Names are just as important as licenses and categories, so make them descriptive.
  • Due to the many automated templates used on the wiki, lowercase extensions are imperative. That means jpg and png instead of JPG and PNG. It looks cleaner, it works better, and it does not cause any problems. Make sure to always use lowercase extensions.
  • If you're confused about the requirements for uploading files, have a look at this guide.
 Thank you, and have a good time uploading here!

Hi

Please read the checklist when you upload media files, and be sure to tag and categorize all images. If you're confused about the requirements for uploading files, have a look at this guide. --MaverickNate 02:38, 12 September 2009 (UTC)

Also, did you get explicit permission from TTEchidna? MaverickNate 02:38, 12 September 2009 (UTC)
Instead of just adding the summary and licensing, replace whats already on the page, please. MaverickNate 02:54, 12 September 2009 (UTC)
Sorry, I don't understand SuiScorpio 02:56, 12 September 2009 (UTC)
When you are editing the page, there is "HGSS Sprite" written on the page already. That needs to go and get out of there. the first thing should be the summary, understand now? And good job, by the way. MaverickNate 03:00, 12 September 2009 (UTC)
Oh, Right, thanks a lot. I'm new and freaking out. I missed that note about the explicit permission. I'll fix the ones I've already uploaded and then not do any more? SuiScorpio 03:06, 12 September 2009 (UTC)
You've proven yourself worthy. You're much better than most of the people already on here. Just keep up fixing any you see that are incorrect, and you are more than welcome to keep uploading them once you fix the rest. When you upload them, all you need to do it put the {{gamesprite|blah blah|more stuff|some more things|even more}} into the summary box on the upload screen, and choose Sprite from a Pokémon game in the licensing pull down before you upload. That will make it so you don't have to add it in once it's already uploaded. By the way,fantastic job! Keep it up! ;) MaverickNate 03:11, 12 September 2009 (UTC)
When you add them to the summary box, it automatically puts "summary" in for you. Only the template is needed. MaverickNate 04:03, 12 September 2009 (UTC)
How convenient :) thanks SuiScorpio 04:10, 12 September 2009 (UTC)
