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.

== Moving files ==
Hi Poli. Archives stuff needs to be dealt with on the Archives, rather than on Bulbapedia. That means that if you need a file moved:
* Use the {{template|move}} template. That's what it was designed for, and staff should be checking for this tag daily.
* Post on the file's talk page. The dedicated Archives staff do check the RC over here; these days it is rare for files to be skipped over.
* If it's urgent, bug someone on their talk page if they're likely to be online.
Hopefully this is all clear and straightforward. Cheers, &mdash;'''<span style="font-family:Verdana">[[bp:User talk:The dark lord trombonator|<span style="color:#000">darklord</span>]][[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|<span style="color:#0047AB">trom</span>]]</span>''' 20:27, 4 November 2010 (UTC)

I would like you to wait a little bit on those images, I keep finding them already uploaded on the archives, I already did for half of Brock's Pokémon in Challenge. Moldy orange 02:37, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

Okay, I think I've found all that isn't on the articles already... carry-on. Moldy orange 18:41, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

Reply

I'm actually not a sysop here on the archives, so I'm not sure. --PAK Man 07:08, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

Please

Categorize every image you ever upload. Files are like pages on Bulbapedia, they must be categorized, which you have barely been doing at all; please start! Moldy orange 03:40, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

Well. I must confess that I never knew that! Probably a good idea... --Politoed666 16:35, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

Welcoming

On the archives, we don't welcome users unless they actually contribute something. MaverickNate 00:48, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

Moving files

Hi Poli. Archives stuff needs to be dealt with on the Archives, rather than on Bulbapedia. That means that if you need a file moved:

  • Use the {{move}} template. That's what it was designed for, and staff should be checking for this tag daily.
  • Post on the file's talk page. The dedicated Archives staff do check the RC over here; these days it is rare for files to be skipped over.
  • If it's urgent, bug someone on their talk page if they're likely to be online.

Hopefully this is all clear and straightforward. Cheers, —darklordtrom 20:27, 4 November 2010 (UTC)
