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.

Hey admins, you may want to change <code><nowiki>{{delete|this is a duplicate image of [[File:Example.jpg]]}}</nowiki></code> to <code><nowiki>{{delete|this is a duplicate image of [[:File:Example.jpg]]}}</nowiki></code> (note the colon before the filename). We don't need massive images appearing the in the deletion tag ;P [[User:Takharii|<span style="color:#FFD733;">'''たか'''</span>]][[User talk:Takharii|<span style="color:#DAA520;">'''はり'''</span>]][[Special:Contributions/Takharii|<span style="color:#B69E00;">'''い'''</span>]] 01:15, 7 January 2011 (UTC)

== So... ==
 
So...why ''do'' we use AniPNG instead of GIFs for animated sprites? [[User:King Riolu|King Riolu]] 19:18, 14 April 2011 (UTC)
:Something with PNGs are a smaller file size, and for detailed images colors aren't lost.<span style="color:#3FA9D0;">—★</span>[[User:Pika3323|<span style="color:yellow;">Pika</span>]][[User Talk:Pika3323|<span style="color:orange;"><sup>3323</sup></span>]] 19:22, 14 April 2011 (UTC)
But then why are some animated images like [[File:Spr HGSS Lance.png]] GIFs instead of PNGs?  And sprites aren't detailed images anyway. [[User:King Riolu|King Riolu]] 16:49, 1 May 2011 (UTC)
:We're currently working on slowly getting rid of gifs, and replacing them with anipngs. Note that the Emerald and Crystal sprites are all gifs while the DP sprites and on are all anipngs. The Trainer sprites that you speak of... there are many things that go on in the Archives; if you are able to, do upload the anipngs for those sprites.

== Userspace limits ==
 
Didn't the userspace limits get changed on Bulbapedia? [[User:Enervation|Enervation]] 22:19, 17 November 2011 (UTC)

== Link templates section ==
 
It says in one of the questions "What link templates are '''there'''?" when the '''there''' should be '''here'''. - [[User:Clubchloe1|<span style="color:#00A000;">'''Club'''</span>]][[User talk:Clubchloe1|<span style="color:#C6007B;">'''chloe1'''</span>]] 03:20, 15 January 2013 (UTC)
:I don't think that's a huge issue... one example of the usage of there is asking what there is to eat, not here... [[User:Ht14|<span style="color:#999999"><sup>'''''ht'''''</sup></span>]][[User talk:Ht14|<span style="color:#A68C21"><small>''14''</small></span>]] 04:32, 15 January 2013 (UTC)
 
==Mistake==
[[Archives:FAQ#Why is this image not moving on my browser?|Here]]. It says that Chrome doesn't support APNG ''at all'', but in fact it can with [https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/apng/ehkepjiconegkhpodgoaeamnpckdbblp this extension].

== Compression with png images ==
 
The FAQ says pngs are preferred over gifs because they have a smaller file size. This is true, but the page is notably lacking any mention that non-animated png images can often be very poorly compressed by the program that generated them. I think there ought to be some guidelines, particularly with regard to anime screenshots, instructing uploaders on how to use various tools such as OptiPNG and AdvanceCOMP before uploading a file.
 
For reference, I've taken a sampling of some recently added anime images and recompressed them:

I can write up a guide if this is something we want to add. --[[User:GARY-DOS|GARY-DOS]] ([[User talk:GARY-DOS|talk]]) 21:50, 8 February 2014 (UTC)
