+Before you upload a file, please make sure you have done the following:
 * Did you use a '''descriptive''' but '''concise''' file name?
 * Did you make sure that the file name has '''no errors'''? Renaming media files is tedious.
 * Have you provided '''detailed''' information in the summary, including source information?
 * Have you added '''[[Archives:Manual of style#Categories|categories]]''' to your images so they can be found easily later on?
-* Have you [[Project:Tagging images|'''tagged''']] the images appropriately?
+* Have you '''[[Project:Tagging images|tagged]]''' the images appropriately?
 * Are you going to '''use''' the image on a Bulbagarden project? Is the image '''relevant'''?

-To view or search previously uploaded images, go to the [[Special:Imagelist|list of uploaded images]]. Uploads and deletions are logged on the [[Project:Upload log|upload log]].
-The preferred formats are '''.jpg''' for photographic images, '''.png''' for diagrams, sprites, icons, screenshots and other simpler images, and '''Ogg Vorbis''' for sounds. Lowercase extensions are imperative. '''Avoid .gifs for complex images as they have a limited colorspace.'''
-To include the image in a page, use a link in the form

+Bulbagarden Archives prefers the following formats for images:
+* '''.png''' for sprites, screenshots, icons, diagrams, and simple images
+* '''.jpg''' for photographs or scans such as cards from the Pokémon TCG
+* '''.gif''' format should be avoided. Animated images should be in anipng (.png) format.

+The use of the correct file is important as the file extension often interacts with templates on Bulbapedia and Bulbanews.
