Welcome

Welcome to the Bulbagarden Archives, Takharii! 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 Bulbagarden 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. Please be sure that the filenames contain alphanumeric characters only. Due to the many automated templates used on the wiki, lowercase extensions are imperative. That means jpg and png instead of JPG and PNG. It looks cleaner, it works better, and it does not cause any problems. Make sure to always use lowercase extensions. 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!   ht14 04:19, 20 February 2010 (UTC)

Welcoming new users

Hi please only welcome users that contribute, the Archives are a little different from Bulbapedia when it comes to that. Jello^Talk 19:03, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

2004 World Championships deck

Do the deck images have to be in png format or jpg format? I wanted to ask since the tcg stuff is usually in jpg form. Pattyman 01:35, 18 April 2012 (UTC)

I don't really know. I'm just uploading new versions of existing files, so I'm using whatever file extension they are currently. If I could move and delete files, I would make them all the same format, but I'm not an admin, so I can't. たかはりい 05:46, 18 April 2012 (UTC)

You can place a move tag on files that need to be moved. Pattyman 14:21, 19 April 2012 (UTC)

Image size

Images uploaded to the Archive should be no larger than 1280 pixels in either dimension. Any image that does should be cropped/scaled to fit. --Abcboy (talk) 11:12, 5 October 2015 (UTC)
