Welcome
Welcome to the Bulbagarden Archives, Solidadrox!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.
- 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!

Categories = Important
Don't forget to categorise your images. If you're unsure how to do so, see this guide. Categorising helps people find the images later on. For example, if we categorise all Slowbro images, they end up in this category. See, very useful! In addition, please upload images with meaningful names. 430.jpg does not describe anything about the image, and can make it difficult for searchers. Thanks. —darklordtrom 06:54, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
Hello
I'm sorry, but you need to upload anime screenshots in .png format, and never .jpg. Please re-upload all your files in that format and replace then appropriately. Thank you. —♥ Jellotalk 12:49, 17 November 2010 (UTC)
