It also allows the viewer to get an idea where the image came from, be it a screenshot, sprite, or otherwise. In addition, this is for copyright purposes. Images are uploaded from a variety of sources, so it is a good idea to know where it is from should the image be questionable in infringing a copyright. Also, it determines how freely the uploaded image is able to be used outside of Bulbapedia, Bulbagarden Archives, and Bulbanews. | ||

===Link templates=== | |||
=====What link templates are there?===== | |||
Generally we use the same link templates as we do on Bulbapedia. For those unfamiliar with the link templates, the only templates that are really needed include {{template|bp}}, {{template|m}}, {{template|adv}}, {{template|p}}, {{template|game}}, {{template|a}}, and {{template|an}}. If you are unfamiliar with how any of the templates work or if you are wondering if a certain template exists, ask a staff member or other active members. | |||

=====Who can I contact if an admin isn't online?===== | =====Who can I contact if an admin isn't online?===== | ||
Generally there is usually an admin watching over the Archives, even if they don't appear in the [[Special:RecentChanges|Recent Changes]]. However, if a vandal strikes and an Archives admin does not step in to solve it, please bring it up with an active Bulbapedia {{bp|Bulbapedia:Staff|staff member}}. If you are unsure who to ask, the [[Archives:Administrators|Archives's staff page]] will tell you who has sysop powers on the Archives who are also on Bulbapedia. | Generally there is usually an admin watching over the Archives, even if they don't appear in the [[Special:RecentChanges|Recent Changes]].
