== Image requests == | |||
Hey abcboy, thanks so much for your help in uploading the Fiery Globe and the other item artworks! Can you also upload the Pokémon artwork that has yet to be uploaded onto the Archives, such as Xatu and Marowak? Thanks in advance! [[User:Ht14|<span style="color:#999999"><sup>'''''ht'''''</sup></span>]][[User talk:Ht14|<span style="color:#A68C21"><small>''14''</small></span>]] 02:49, 12 February 2015 (UTC) | |||
:Also, can you upload the higher-quality images of the other items as well? For instance, the Vile Seed and Foe-Hold Orb. Thanks~!

== Can you upload a new version of [[:File:Spr Pt Palmer.png]]? == | |||
This file is larger than the .gif image (.gif file= 17 KB .png file= 18 KB). I can't download it (I don't know why), so please upload a new version of this file with smaller filesize (must still be animated). I recommend you use the APNG optimizer: http://sourceforge.net/projects/apng/files/APNG_Optimizer/ | |||
That APNG optimizer will lower the filesize of a .png file without lowering it's quality. Thank you! [[User:Pokéfan95|Pokéfan95]] ([[User talk:Pokéfan95|talk]]) 06:58, 11 April 2015 (UTC) | |||

== Do you know a software that makes .png images transparent? == | |||
As said in the title. Also, how can I make an image transparent? Thank you! [[User:Pokéfan95|Pokéfan95]] ([[User talk:Pokéfan95|talk]]) 02:40, 16 April 2015 (UTC) | |||
:I personally use [http://getpaint.net paint.net]. Once you've downloaded it, you'll be able to [https://www.google.com/search?q=paint.net+add+transparency+to+image find tutorials online]. --[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 03:09, 16 April 2015 (UTC) | |||
::Thanks, I will do that if I can use my Computer next time. Because I will be reviewing for my entrance exam in 1:00 PM. I use my computer at 2:00 PM, and I can't use that because I am still reviewing. Thanks, again! [[User:Pokéfan95|Pokéfan95]] ([[User talk:Pokéfan95|talk]]) 03:27, 16 April 2015 (UTC) | |||
:::Oh, when I tried to install it, it says it work only in Windows 7 and newer. I use Windows XP SP3. Is there any other software? [[User:Pokéfan95|Pokéfan95]] ([[User talk:Pokéfan95|talk]]) 08:03, 20 April 2015 (UTC) | |||

== Whew == | |||
It is amazing how long that takes. | |||
So you had the Battle Trozei set, as well? I could create the template for it similar to the Shuffle one created today (I notice I have the ability to create them here just like at Bulbapedia), but I don't have six hours to do the entire set this evening, so I'd likely do it in chunks tomorrow. Maybe Kanto this evening if they're ready to go. Or I might just upload them as I get to their tables. I am undecided. I know the template changes are just to change "Shuffle001" (where the template loads the number) to be "BattleTrozei001", and to change the game to Pokémon Battle Trozei; otherwise, it's identical, and I literally have it ready to go. Can I go ahead and submit that, or is template creation strictly a staff activity over here? LOL [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 03:02, 14 June 2015 (UTC) | |||
:[https://www.dropbox.com/s/1j0bhvwko058tfi/Battle%20Trozei.zip?dl=0 Already on my Dropbox in a ZIP.] The filename conventions is File:BT###.png, as [[:File:BT025.png]] and its friends are already uploaded (and can be uploaded over). I'd go to {{u|Kogoro}} or {{u|ht14}} and have them approve the template first. --[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 03:27, 14 June 2015 (UTC) | |||
::Fair enough, I'll userspace the template on here and they can move it if it's good. Just wanted to make sure the filename convention worked before saving any work. Will utilize that. | |||
::I tried to help on your other template at Bulba, BTW. Check that talk page. (Skype me sometime if you want, too; it's identical to this SN.) [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 04:04, 14 June 2015 (UTC) | |||
== {{template|delete}} on my new redirects == | |||
The reason I created those redirects is for those who can't type "é". I have planned also to create more redirects though. I think we should ask {{u|Kogoro}} about this. {{unsigned|Pokéfan95}} | |||
== JPG to PNG == | |||
I actually used software to convert [http://archives.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=File:Nintendo_DSi_Mic_Test.jpg&diff=476728&oldid=476720 this] from JPG format to [http://archives.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=File:Nintendo_DSi_Mic_Test.png&curid=174912&diff=476771&oldid=476769 this] in PNG format; I didn't just rename the file extension (unless the software was fooling with me). Is it still showing characteristics of a JPG file? --[[User:Rikeo|<span style="color:Orange">リック</span>]][[Special:Contributions/Rikeo|<span style="color:Purple">EO</span>]] ([[BP:User talk:Rikeo|<span style="color:Grey"><small>Contact me on BP</small></span>]]) 22:15, 12 August 2015 (UTC) | |||
:A JPG file is inherently compressed (think like a very low quality YouTube video) and as such it is practically impossible to remove the artifacts of JPG compression from the image. "Converting" it is pretty much to same as opening it in Paint as saving it as a different file type. --[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 22:59, 12 August 2015 (UTC) | |||
::So basically, converting doesn't really change anything I see. Why is the PNG format preferred over all other formats? --[[User:Rikeo|<span style="color:Orange">リック</span>]][[Special:Contributions/Rikeo|<span style="color:Purple">EO</span>]] ([[BP:User talk:Rikeo|<span style="color:Grey"><small>Contact me on BP</small></span>]]) 23:13, 12 August 2015 (UTC) | |||
:::PNG is preferred over JPG because JPG is lossy (if you open a JPG, edit it and save it as a JPG, and repeat, the quality will steadily get worse unless your program is really smart, in which case it will get worse slowly, but they still suffer from the coefficient division and the 8 by 8 blockiness. JPG also doesn't support transparency. The only thing that should be in JPG format are scans of Trading Cards and some photographs. (because scanners are terrible?) | |||
:::PNG is preferred over GIF because GIF has a 256-color limit, which leads to dithering. Additionally, it doesn't support partial transparency. | |||
:::(GIFs and JPGs can be saved as PNGs, but still have other qualities of the original file format.) | |||
:::If you want to know more, just search up "image file type comparison" and you'll probably find something with more information than I have to offer. To see the difference for yourself, try converting one of the 1280x1280 Ken Sugimori Pokémon artwork and saving it as a GIF and JPG, and compare them side by side. --[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 23:32, 12 August 2015 (UTC) | |||
== Another Request == | |||
Could you please delete Finnishpokefan's reverts to my image of Calem's Charizard in PG. He edit a delete notice, even though it doesn't need to be. I uploaded the image and then he uploaded a similar one after that with a different file name. If the other image should be the file name, then it can be changed, but surely first come first serve fits here, because with this logic, then someone can upload the same image with different names years after they've been created.

== Spike Chunsoft and Chunsoft logo's == | |||
I'm posting this to provide you with better variants of the Chunsoft and Spike Chunsoft logo. Here's the better variant of the Chunsoft logo which doesn't take as much transparent space: [https://i.imgur.com/Or0qatt.png], and here's the recent iteration of the Spike Chunsoft logo that's clean in quality: [https://i.imgur.com/LfqQbww.png]. Can you please delete and replace this Chunsoft logo: https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/File:Chunsoft_logo.png and this Spike Chunsoft logo: https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/File:Spike_Chunsoft_logo.png please? deleting it before re-uplaoding it removes the outdated images from search engines, and it also gives you full control of the file type. Thank you. [[User:AlphaBaymax|AlphaBaymax]] ([[User talk:AlphaBaymax|talk]]) 18:10, 28 March 2018 (UTC) | |||

== Reuploaded images remain the same == | |||
Hello, I recently reuploaded [[File:GO207.png]] to be transparent but it remained the same. It this related to traffic? | |||
== LGPE title screenshots == | |||
I'm trying to upload LGPE title screen screenshots but apparently I haven't done enough to be confirmed. [[User:Argentarus|Argentarus]] ([[User talk:Argentarus|talk]]) 19:42, 12 December 2018 (UTC) | |||
:You have to make a number of edits on the Archives in order to become autoconfirmed, such as by adding categories, etc. --[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 19:41, 14 December 2018 (UTC) | |||
::So, I finally put them in and I named the files LGPikachutitle and LGEeveetitle, but when editing them into the Generation VII infobox I have to type them that way and then the title screen description ends up being the file names. Can you change the file names or can they be formatted a certain way so that they can work? The colon right after Pokemon also opens up another can of worms. [[User:Argentarus|Argentarus]] ([[User talk:Argentarus|talk]]) 02:10, 1 January 2019 (UTC) | |||
::Nevermind, I guess. I mixed the switching title screen template with the caption system on the infobox. Hopefully that's good. | |||
== Bulbapedia block appeal == | |||
Before you block me here, I would just like to explain why I made this additional account and see if there is any way this situation can be resolved without an indefinite block. I couldn't find the address to e-mail the Editorial Board at. | |||
The reason I made this account was because I wanted to use this name here. And I knew that I was blocked so that's why I said I wouldn't edit any pages until that block expired on November 12 (though I did explain the situation on my Bulbapedia talk page and Force Fire's talk page). And I promise to obey every single rule at Bulbapedia and on the Archives and Bulbanews as well. Is there any way I can have one last chance to edit Bulbapedia, with the understanding that any further rule violation will lead to an immediate infinite block?
