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.

Checklist

  • Did you use a descriptive but concise file name?
  • Did you make sure that the file name has no errors. Renaming media files is not possible.
  • Have you provided detailed information in the summary, including source information?
  • Have you tagged the images appropriately?
  • Are you going to use the image on a Bulbagarden project? Is the image relevant?

To view or search previously uploaded images, go to the list of uploaded images. Uploads and deletions are logged on the upload log.

The preferred formats are JPEG for photographic images, PNG for diagrams, sprites, icons and other simpler images, and Ogg Vorbis for sounds.
Avoid GIFs for complex images as they have a limited colorspace.

To include the image in a page, use a link in the form [[{{ns:6}}:file.jpg]] or [[{{ns:6}}:file.png|alt text]] or [[{{ns:-2}}:file.ogg]] for sounds. These links can be used on other wiki sites that are set up to automatically retrieve media from Bulbagarden Archives.
