User talk:Kolink

Welcome

Welcome to the Bulbagarden Archives, Kolink! As a new user, you may wish to learn a few things that will be useful in your uploading:

Manual of Style The Manual of Style, or MoS, outlines the format and guidelines of all images on Bulbagarden Archives. List of Admins All of our administrators are here to help! Talk to them if you have any questions or problems with the Archives. Tagging Guidelines Tagging images with correct licenses and categories is a must. These guidelines will help you learn more about tagging images.

Miscellaneous Please read the checklist when you upload media files. The checklist is there to make sure you are doing everything necessary when uploading said media files. Be sure to tag and categorize all images. This helps organize the vast amount of images we have here. Check if your image already exists by searching through categories, and Bulbapedia pages. This action will help prevent unnecessary duplicates from appearing. When adding a licensing tag to anime or game screenshots, please avoid just choosing "Screenshot". This is not descriptive and places the images in the wrong category. Make sure to choose "Screenshot from a Pokémon game," or "Screenshot from the Pokémon anime." This will put them in the right categories, and help keep the Archives clean. Does your image have a purpose? Will you be using it on a Bulbagarden Project? Avoid uploading images because you think they are "Cute" or "Awesome". That clutters the Archives. Personal images are limited to two for each User. Personal images include personal logos, personal trainer sprites, drawings, trainer cards and mostly any image that would only be used in the User: namespace and have no encyclopedic value to Bulbagarden and its affiliates. Please tag these with the {{i-Personal}} template for easier organization. Under no circumstance should a photograph of one's self ever be uploaded onto Bulbapedia Archives. In addition, please upload images with meaningful names. Names that are just numbers, for example, do not describe anything about the image, and can make it difficult for searchers. Names are just as important as licenses and categories, so make them descriptive. If you're confused about the requirements for uploading files, have a look at this guide.

Thank you, and have a good time uploading here!   MaverickNate 19:27, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

Hi

Please read the checklist when you upload media files, and be sure to tag and categorize all images. If you're confused about the requirements for uploading files, have a look at this guide. --^Maverick_Nate 19:44, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

What you want to do, is on the "Upload Media" page, under "Licensing:" there is a pull down list of all types of images. You want to choose the option "Screenshot from a Pokémon game". Because most of your images are game locations, you'll want to place [[Category:Location artwork]] in the summary box, along with a description of the image. You've been getting the description really well, just get the licensing and categories down, and you'll be golden. ;) ^Maverick_Nate 20:59, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

Now, we've hit two other important road blocks. Make sure that all image names are "png" instead of "PNG". That goes for any extension. And, each Pokémon has a category. If you see a Pokémon in an image, put, for example, [[Category:Jumpluff]]. Thanks! Contact me if you have any questions or concerns. ^Maverick_Nate 22:50, 16 August 2009 (UTC)
