After reading the FAQ, I thought I'd edit the move images for animation in the template but kept finding it had already been done. I did change the template a few that weren't animated, but it just occurred to me that that probably can't be used to locate images that need an animated replacement. Is there something else I should be marking those with instead? --[[User:GARY-DOS|GARY-DOS]] ([[User talk:GARY-DOS|talk]]) 07:18, 29 December 2013 (UTC)

== Crystal Sprites ==
There's a decent number of Crystal front sprites with bad coloring (though they have been marked as such). The easiest way to fix this is to convert them to APNG and then alter the pallet with TweakPNG, however I can't replace the existing bad GIF files this way. Converting them back to GIF gives sketchy results (see old versions of [[:File:Spr_2c_199.gif]]), and seems counter-productive considering we're trying to phase out GIFs. When I go through and fix the other sprites with bad colors, is there any reason I should bother with making GIFs instead of just uploading the fixed APNGs? I also noticed the sprites from Japanese Crystal that differ from the localized versions were removed and redirected to the localized ones, but I can't find any reason why. Maybe it's me, but that seems like the sort of thing that would be notable. --[[User:GARY-DOS|GARY-DOS]] ([[User talk:GARY-DOS|talk]]) 22:12, 15 February 2014 (UTC)

Sprites

I'm not sure how up-to-date this page is but I used it a while ago for heaps of flipping and transparentising... User:UltimateSephiroth/Sprites --Spriteit 12:42, 10 February 2011 (UTC)

A little note

At the bottom the regular users list, shouldn't it read Mozilla Firefox instead of Microsoft Firefox? I'm using Firefox at the moment, and as far as I know it is not connected with Microsoft in any way.--Chalkwriter 16:29, 20 April 2011 (UTC)

Sorry about that... I keep thinking that... >< Thanks for the catch. ht14 17:18, 20 April 2011 (UTC)

png replacing

Under the category called Ongoing Tasks, the part where it says upload png replacements of anime jpgs and manga jpgs is not clear. Here's why, when I uploaded a png replacement of an anime jpg, I was notified saying that I wasn't supposed to re-upload them as pngs (despite getting my images from another source). The same went for the manga jpgs. Is there a way to reword it carefully? Pattyman 18:07, 24 June 2011 (UTC)

Gen IV Locations

Should we put uploading maps of Gen IV locations on the list? There are several locations in DPPt and HGSS that are in need of proper or updated maps (I believe there are at least 30). --Dannyboy601 13:05, 1 August 2011 (UTC)

"Upload TCG images properly (do not upload any Farfetch'd or Ho-Oh images due to non-alphanumeric characters)"

Er... don't we already have images with dashes and apostrophes? Or am I missing something here? -- Trainer Hunter -- 18:27, 9 December 2011 (UTC)

Marking animated Moves vs. still ones

After reading the FAQ, I thought I'd edit the move images for animation in the template but kept finding it had already been done. I did change the template a few that weren't animated, but it just occurred to me that that probably can't be used to locate images that need an animated replacement. Is there something else I should be marking those with instead? --GARY-DOS (talk) 07:18, 29 December 2013 (UTC)

The {{animated}} tag is used to mark images that need to be animated. G50 09:27, 29 December 2013 (UTC)
