Try not to do either. If an image doesn't fit as the original PNG, convert to JPG. Yes, there will be a slight loss of quality, but not too bad. If the original is a JPG, don't convert it to PNG. The image doesn't look any better, the file's bigger, and, to compensate for the 2MB limit, you must resize. The Ranger: Guardian Signs box art and the Ecruteak City landscape were both subjected to this. Do what I did for [[:File:HGSS Johto.jpg]] and delete the PNG, with changing any PNG link to JPG. Just because PNG thumbnails better doesn't mean that a loss of quality another way will compensate.--'''[[User:Immewnity|<span style="color:#88AADD">''immewnity''</span>]][[User talk:Immewnity|the]][[Special:Contributions/Immewnity|mew]]''' 19:51, 21 June 2010 (UTC)

::::::Okay guys? I can handle it. If I say Zhen said it was okay, then please for god sakes take my word for it. I don't understand why people can't give me a little respect. I'm not asking for much. You guys are acting like Zhen is only in contact with you and that you run the Archives here. This wiki is run differently, and Zhen does a lot of custom work here. So, if it doesn't work on your wiki, it doesn't mean the same applies here. I'm not some kind of idiot. But if my word isn't good enough for you, by all means ask Zhen.

:::::::I am giving you full respect. I am saying that, from prior experience, the accented e causes issues, and I don't want the issue to happen here. I'm learning from previous experience, and am simply sharing that lesson. I ''did'' ask Zhen, and am awaiting his response. Zhen is only human and could have made a mistake. Unless he modified the server structure and the MySQL scripts, then this is an issue. Mistakes can happen, which is why the alphanumeric structure went in place.--'''[[User:Immewnity|<span style="color:#88AADD">''immewnity''</span>]][[User talk:Immewnity|the]][[Special:Contributions/Immewnity|mew]]''' 19:24, 2 June 2011 (UTC)
::::::::Just asked Zhen myself, and he gave this response: "I don't ''believe'' it causes problems, but I have never investigated it deeply." If it was a problem, I'm sure I would have been told to stop using é. But for now, I have not, so I will continue to allow its use. Kogoro also told me that she also investigated this issue, and couldn't find any reason to believe that it causes any problems. <span style="color:red">—<small>♥</small></span> <b>[[User:Jello|<span style="color:orange;">Jello</span>]][[User Talk:Jello|<span style="color:#3FA9D0;"><sup>talk</sup></span>]]</b> 21:22, 2 June 2011 (UTC)
