+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 not possible.
+* 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 [[Project:Tagging images|'''tagged''']] the images appropriately?
+* Have you added '''[[Archives:Manual of style#Categories|categories]]''' to your images so they can be found easily later on?

+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 preferred formats are '''JPEG''' for photographic images, '''PNG''' for drawings and other iconic images, and '''Ogg Vorbis''' for sounds.
+The use of the correct file is important as the file extension often interacts with templates on Bulbapedia.

-To include the image in a page, use a link in the form

+* A log of uploaded images is kept [[Special:Log/upload|here]].
+* If you are uploading over an existing image, you may need permission from a [[Archives:Staff|staff member]].
+* In general, the maximum image resolution is 1920×1920. If you need to upload a larger image, please contact a [[Archives:Staff|staff member]].
+* You should '''only use alphanumeric characters''', dash, and underscore in file names. 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)
+* Personal images are '''not allowed'''. Please do not upload them as they will be deleted on sight.
