Welcome
Welcome to the Bulbagarden Archives, AiedailEclipsed!As a new user, you may wish to learn a few things that will be useful in your uploading:
|
The Manual of Style, or MoS, outlines the format and guidelines of all images on Bulbagarden Archives.
|
All of our administrators are here to help! Talk to them if you have any questions or problems with the Archives.
|
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.
- 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.

Thanks for helping.
Can you also categorize them by Pokémon? For instance, some of the images show Pichu, etc. Thanks. ht14 02:58, 10 November 2009 (UTC)

- Yeah, by that you mean? AiedailEclipsed 03:30, 12 November 2009 (UTC)
- See the summary section? It says <insert character here> from Pokémon Special... fix to Pokémon Adventures. ht14 03:31, 12 November 2009 (UTC)
- Dear heavenly father... I'll go back and redo those already edited... AiedailEclipsed 03:32, 12 November 2009 (UTC)
- The new ones too... I'll cleanup the old ones, but make sure you handle it for those you're doing. ht14 03:35, 12 November 2009 (UTC)

Just wondering
The movie 8 screenshots... were there any that were significant to keep? ht14 01:37, 26 January 2010 (UTC)
- Mk, well, Nate personally asked me to delete them after checking for links on the 'pedia & 'news. And they were screenshots from the final trailer. If you look at the actual movie's category, they are all still there. I may be blonde sometimes but I am far from incompetent. AiedailEclipsed 23:10, 26 January 2010 (UTC)
- I'm not implying that, but I'm just confirming they're useless pics, so don't worry about it. I'm just being paranoid. =] ht14 23:12, 26 January 2010 (UTC)
- Yeah, sorry bout that. Internet/Bulba withdrawals does that to me. I had to work on a project for three hours without my internet ;-; AiedailEclipsed 23:21, 26 January 2010 (UTC)
