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.

A few requests before striking up a conversation with me:

  • Use Romanian, English or German. Using other languages will not help me understand you.
  • Use proper grammar. If you want me to understand what you wrote, at least write it correctly. Do not expect me to decipher your words. I am not the most grammatically correct person in the world, but at least I am doing my best for others to understand me.
  • Always leave new messages at the bottom of the page. Otherwise, if there is a private matter, e-mail me or PM me on the forums.
  • Be respectful.

Welcome

Welcome to the Bulbagarden Archives, DJWolfy!
Bulbagarden Archives bulb.png

By creating your account you are now able to upload images to help Bulbapedia and Bulbanews. Before you jump in, take a look at these helpful tips:

  • Uploaded images must meet several requirements. Please see the upload form and/or manual of style before you upload a new image.
  • All images need categories and license tags. Save time and fill them out as you upload. There are many different licenses - be sure to pick the best fit.
  • Use meaningful filenames. Make them descriptive so that searchers can find your images easily.
  • Personal images are no longer allowed. Any personal images found will be deleted on sight.
  • If you don't have any images to submit, you can still help out.
  • If you have any more questions, see the FAQ or ask a staff member.
Thank you, and have a good time uploading here!

Template:bp

Instead of using [[:BP:(Page name)|(Page name)]] please use the {{bp|Page name}}. Thanks! Pokegeek 19:08, 29 February 2012 (UTC)

Thanks,it's much easier !----DJWolfy 20:13, 29 February 2012 (UTC)

Size

Please don't upload excessively large images (generally 1280 pixels is the maximum size). Pokégeek 19:10, 5 April 2012 (UTC)

Sorry,I didn't knew there is a limit. I thought only for the size in MB.----DJWolfy 12:42, 6 April 2012 (UTC)

Delete

When you upload a new version of a file, you don't actually have to put the {{delete}} template on it. It is not necessary to delete the older version of the file. Pokégeek 13:50, 6 April 2012 (UTC)

But what happens with it then ? The rules say that you have to delete the older versions.----DJWolfy 17:29, 6 April 2012 (UTC)
No. There's no rule like that. There are many files which have more than 1 versions. Pokégeek 01:59, 7 April 2012 (UTC)

Well, but what happens to older versions ?----DJWolfy 08:36, 7 April 2012 (UTC)

Categories, Licensing, and Summaries

Keep in mind that you need to do all three of those things when you're uploading an entirely new image, and you can do all of them directly from the upload form. Summary & categories can both go in the summary input of the upload form, and licensing has its own dropdown. - Kogoro - Talk to me - 12:22, 7 April 2012 (UTC)

Actually I knew that, but I asked an admin before on how to categorize and he told me to use the Licensing category.----DJWolfy 12:23, 7 April 2012 (UTC)
Categories don't have to go under licensing. When uploading an entirely new file, it's better to put them in with the summary as well, as to save from having to go back and re-edit the file page. - Kogoro - Talk to me - 12:27, 7 April 2012 (UTC)
That's perfectly fine with me, saves me a lot of time, thanks !----DJWolfy 12:31, 7 April 2012 (UTC)

Image not changing

*When an image looks the same, purge the page by clicking the clock to the left of your name and then refresh. When you upload a new file, it changes but not always automatically. All you need to do is refresh the page until it changes *. Pokégeek 13:27, 9 April 2012 (UTC)

Oh, I see... when you uploaded a new version of a file, the image was not changing and was showing the older version of the file. This is what made you think that it was necessary to delete the older version of the file. Pokégeek 13:38, 9 April 2012 (UTC)
Actually it is better if they were deleted, since they are not changing in any way. I have the edited versions but someone has to delete the older ones.----DJWolfy 13:53, 9 April 2012 (UTC)

Welcoming users

"Unlike Bulbapedia, not a lot of users contribute to Bulbanews. That is one of the reasons why this rule was implemented. Same rule for Archives as well."

Please don't forget it the next time. Thank you, and have a good time editing here. ♫♪エイディニズ♪♫ 17:23, 9 April 2012 (UTC)
Oh yes, sorry, I was being unattentive. It won't happen again.----DJWolfy 17:35, 9 April 2012 (UTC)

Cropping

Please stop cropping images to get rid of watermarks. It's sloppy and distorts the image. Jo The Marten 23:50, 10 April 2012 (UTC)

Well it's very hard to get rid of the watermarks by editing since by removing a watermark it's like trying to remove a house only to see the fence behind it. It is very much detail on it.----DJWolfy 07:48, 11 April 2012 (UTC)
