+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.

-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.'''

-'''<nowiki>[[File:name.png|alt text]]</nowiki>''' or
+* '''.png''' for sprites, screenshots, icons, diagrams, and simple images
-'''<nowiki>[[File:name.ogg]]</nowiki>''' for sounds. These links can be used on other wiki sites that are set up to automatically retrieve media from {{SITENAME}}.
+* '''.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.
-Please remember, that before uploading anime screenshots you need to get permission from an {{bp|Bulbapedia:Administrators|administrator}} per the {{bp|Bulbapedia:Image reversion policy|image reversion policy}}.
+The use of the correct file is important as the file extension often interacts with templates on Bulbapedia and Bulbanews.

+* A log of uploaded images is kept [[Special:Log/upload|here]].
+* If you are uploading over an existing image, you may need permission from an {{ar|administrator}}.
+* You should only use alphanumeric characters, dash and underscore in filenames. Other characters, especially multibyte characters such as Japanese text, may cause server errors. (e.g. Lt. Surge's ピカチュウ {Pikachu}.jpeg)
