 I'm not sure what name I should give the images from the adaptation nor what the actual name of the manga is called. Do you have any suggestions regarding so since different names are used in different pages? [[User:Pattyman|Pattyman]] ([[User talk:Pattyman|talk]]) 22:57, 27 July 2014 (UTC)
 :Err, I'm not familiar with that one, sorry! iunno maybe something like RGS (Ranger Guardian Signs) for now?

+::Good call, unless someone else disagrees with us. I had an image relating to that manga sitting on my computer for awhile. [[User:Pattyman|Pattyman]] ([[User talk:Pattyman|talk]]) 03:23, 7 August 2014 (UTC)
+== Image upload ==
+I have an image of {{bp|Umbreon and Espeon (Gates to Infinity)}} from the game animation that was uploaded by nintendo on youtube. Is it notable enough to upload? [http://archives.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Kogoro&diff=455512&oldid=450593 I had previously asked this question to Kogoro], but she seems to be on hiatus. <span style="font-family:Tempas Sans ITC; color:blue" class="plainlinks">[http://archives.bulbagarden.net/wiki/User_talk:PikaTepig999?useskin=vector →PikaTe][http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/User_talk:PikaTepig999?useskin=modern pig999★]</span> 08:51, 7 February 2015 (UTC)
+:She's just gone away for a couple of days. What purpose do you plan to upload the image for? In my books, image notability is generally determined by its usefulness in other Bulbagarden projects. If you don't really have a use for it on Bulbapedia or Bulbanews, it's not really worth it.

+::It can be used in the info box instead of the game sprite, which is not clear. <span style="font-family:Tempas Sans ITC; color:blue" class="plainlinks">[http://archives.bulbagarden.net/wiki/User_talk:PikaTepig999?useskin=vector →PikaTe][http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/User_talk:PikaTepig999?useskin=modern pig999★]</span> 15:27, 10 February 2015 (UTC)

+== Guidebooks ==
+I noticed that many of the Pokémon guidebooks filenames aren't consistent with each other, each of them being named differently. Any suggestions on their naming convention? [[User:Pattyman|Pattyman]] ([[User talk:Pattyman|talk]]) 02:48, 11 February 2015 (UTC)
+:I would suggest "[Publisher] Guide [Game].png" or something along those lines. I agree that the file names are like nightmare fuel right now XD [[Special:Contributions/Zesty Cactus|--]][[User:Zesty Cactus|<span style="color:#006400">'''Zesty'''</span>]][[User talk:Zesty Cactus|<span style="color:#3CB371">'''Cactus'''</span>]] 15:06, 11 February 2015 (UTC)
+::I abbreviated the game names as most of the images have filenames with the abbreviated game names instead of the full spelling. [[User:Pattyman|Pattyman]] ([[User talk:Pattyman|talk]]) 20:53, 11 February 2015 (UTC)
+== Who's That Pokémon Upload ==
+I had taken a screenshot from the video i was watching, and uploaded the screenshot, but when i uploaded, name was changed, while uploading i got error and when i refreshed the page there was naming issue {{unsigned|Upratik 12}}
+== CPIW manga ==
+I noticed that you wrote down the epicodes for the Pokémon Omega Ruby Crimson Passion and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire Indigo Wisdom as '''CPIW'''. If you want, you can move all instances of ASIW and ORCP to CPIW on the image file names since it would make sense to have them that way, especially for characters who appeared in both such as Steven Stone. [[User:Pattyman|Pattyman]] ([[User talk:Pattyman|talk]]) 04:19, 26 August 2015 (UTC)
+== Excuse me, about uploading... ==
+Hi, I just wanted to upload some images on Super Mystery Dungeon's dungeons, but I lack the necessary permissions to do this. Therefore, would you please grant me permission to upload images? Sincerely, [[User:IM-T-MAN2|IM-T-MAN2]] ([[User talk:IM-T-MAN2|talk]]) 13:08, 10 December 2015 (UTC)
+:Just wanted to interrupt. In order to be allowed to upload files, you have to be a user for a certain (undisclosed) amount of time and also make a certain number of edits. Stick around and edit for a bit and you will find yourself being able to upload in no time. [[User:Ht14|<span style="color:#999999"><sup>'''''ht'''''</sup></span>]][[User talk:Ht14|<span style="color:#A68C21"><small>''14''</small></span>]] 17:01, 10 December 2015 (UTC)
+::Yes, it is exactly as ht14 has explained. Unfortunately to become autoconfirmed and gain permission to upload files is an automated process done by the wiki software and I have no control over it (nor does any of the other staff). Let me know if you have any more questions.

+== Uploading XY party screen screenshot ==
+Hi, I've been directed to you by Abcboy to obtain authorisation to upload a screenshot from a 3DS game. See: User_talk:Abcboy#XY_party_screenshot_for_Party_page on Bulbapedia. (Sorry, the CAPTCHA isn't loading) [[User:Angelsl|Angelsl]] ([[User talk:Angelsl|talk]]) 12:10, 6 February 2016 (UTC)
+:Hi! Your screenshot looks good, I'll just need you to send me a test pic (as Abcboy mentioned in his talk page). You're playing XY, right? I'll ask you to catch a Flabébé (I don't care what colour lol), nickname it Syd and send me a pic of its stats screen (you can just post it here). Once I can verify this you're free to upload :D thank you!!

+::[http://i.imgur.com/BssaTeS.png Here it is.] Thank you! [[User:Angelsl|Angelsl]] ([[User talk:Angelsl|talk]]) 07:06, 9 February 2016 (UTC)
+:::Ack! Sorry I took so long to respond. My bad! You're good to go. Sorry for the wait!

+== Problematic User ==
+[[Special:ListFiles/Brandondorf9999]] - On other {{bp|NIWA}} wikis, such as MarioWiki (I am very active there), this user was known for uploading disallowed images, such as forced widescreen screenshots when the game was incapable of rendering widescreen natively (such as {{bp|Pokémon XD}}), FOV abuse in images ([[:File:Pokemon Battle Revolution intro.png]]), and apply Photoshop to images. This isn't all. This is what I have found on MarioWiki. Just thought I let you know and keep an eye out for that and handle any images uploaded by him to the Bulbapedia Archives and handle his images appropriately. --[[User:Wildgoosespeeder|Wildgoosespeeder]] ([[User talk:Wildgoosespeeder|talk]]) 04:44, 2 July 2016 (UTC)
+:My apologies for not responding to your message sooner. As Brandondorf9999 hasn't contributed to Bulbagarden Archives in over one year, I don't really think any action is required at this time. However if he does upload any problem images in the future, myself or the other staff will deal with him at that time. [[Special:Contributions/Zesty Cactus|--]][[User:Zesty Cactus|<span style="color:#006400">'''Zesty'''</span>]][[User talk:Zesty Cactus|<span style="color:#3CB371">'''Cactus'''</span>]] 02:03, 7 July 2016 (UTC)
+::Action against him wasn't what I was looking for (although it would be nice because he has created sockpuppets on MarioWiki to evade a ban). The main action I was looking for is close examination of his uploads, especially screenshots of games. I am not overly familiar with the Pokémon games he has uploaded screenshots for, but if anything is out of place, just tag images with {{template|bad image}}. --[[User:Wildgoosespeeder|Wildgoosespeeder]] ([[User talk:Wildgoosespeeder|talk]]) 00:00, 8 July 2016 (UTC)
+== GIFs that should be tagged? ==
+[[Special:MIMESearch/image/gif]], should all these GIFs be tagged with {{template|gif}} (44 images)? --[[User:Wildgoosespeeder|Wildgoosespeeder]] ([[User talk:Wildgoosespeeder|talk]]) 05:53, 18 September 2016 (UTC)
+:Not necessarily. I did go through them all and tag the ones that could stand to be converted. I ignored the "IC" ones because I'm not sure what the deal with them is and some of them are used on a lot of pages. I also ignored "Bulbagarden Forums logo 2003.gif" since it's a historic site logo so I figured it's better off the way it originally is (and that if {{u|Kogoro}} wanted it uploaded in a different format, she would have done so herself when she uploaded it only last year). Similarly, I ignored "EvklAvatar.gif" since it's a site-related icon that was uploaded for use in a Bulbanews article from 2007 so I think it can probably be ignored. I tagged or deleted the rest (I actually discovered a few of those images weren't being used anyway so there's no point in converting them lol). [[Special:Contributions/Zesty Cactus|--]][[User:Zesty Cactus|<span style="color:#006400">'''Zesty'''</span>]][[User talk:Zesty Cactus|<span style="color:#3CB371">'''Cactus'''</span>]] 04:13, 19 September 2016 (UTC)
+::The IC images are sprites found in {{bp|Generation III}} and {{bp|Generation IV}} games for {{bp|type}}s, {{bp|contest condition}}s, or {{bp|damage category}} (IV only). Strangely, these GIFs are not being used on main articles. I traced the GIF usage to {{bp|Template:Ic}} so editing should be rather easy when a properly ripped PNG is available. Can those GIFs be reconsidered for {{template|gif}}? --[[User:Wildgoosespeeder|Wildgoosespeeder]] ([[User talk:Wildgoosespeeder|talk]]) 19:55, 19 September 2016 (UTC)
+:::Sorry for butting into the conversation but, I do have png replacements for the IC images (if we want to switch them over). If we do switch them over, I am willing to go and switch all the uses over that are not called on be the [[:bp:Template:Ic|Template:Ic]]. Also, "WailmerPromo.gif" did have a jpg version that was deleted that can be restored to replace it. [[User:Adamws|Adamws]] ([[User talk:Adamws|talk]]) 20:24, 19 September 2016 (UTC)
+::::The impression Bulbapedia gives me is that the {{bp|Bulbapedia:Editorial Board|Editorial Board}} doesn't want JPEGs at all. The JPEG that was deleted would be eligible for {{template|jpg}} if restored, unless the policy towards JPEGs are more relaxed compared to GIF, as PNG replaces everything with 24-bit color + alpha channel and better compression algorithms compared to GIF being limited to 8-bit color + transparency only (even the unofficial APNG format replaces what GIF can do officially). --[[User:Wildgoosespeeder|Wildgoosespeeder]] ([[User talk:Wildgoosespeeder|talk]]) 00:16, 20 September 2016 (UTC)
+:::::I just want to pop in and say that {{u|Chenzw}} uploaded png sprites of the Generation VI icons for the move categories and the move types last month. However, we are still missing png versions of the contest categories. --[[bp:User:Carmenstar97|<span style="color:#95EB5C">Carmen<small>★</small></span>]] <small>''[[User talk:Carmenstar97|<span style="color:#FEBEE8">(Talk |</span>]] [[Special:Contributions/Carmenstar97|<span style="color:#A6DAFC">contribs)</span>]]''</small> 03:53, 20 September 2016 (UTC)
+::::::Generally, JPEG images are unfavourable because they lose image quality easily and also the PNGs generally show up in thumbnails better. I seem to recall {{u|Maverick Nate}} telling me a while back that card images should be uploaded as JPEG anyway though. A cursory glance at recent TCG sets shows that they are still being uploaded as .jpg, so maybe it would be best to contact him about that. Regardless, I dunno what the heck happened with this Wailmer card but the JPG would probably be better than the GIF in either case.
+::::::As for the IC images, it turns out they've never been converted to PNGs since it wouldn't really make a difference in image quality (I guess they don't use many colours if they're sprites from the games). Since the difference in image quality is basically nil, it's not really worth the use of time and server resources to fix. I guess if they were being uploaded today, they probably would be PNG, but they're already there, so it can be ignored at this time. [[Special:Contributions/Zesty Cactus|--]][[User:Zesty Cactus|<span style="color:#006400">'''Zesty'''</span>]][[User talk:Zesty Cactus|<span style="color:#3CB371">'''Cactus'''</span>]] 04:51, 20 September 2016 (UTC)
+:::::::JPEG is lossy while PNG is lossless. Converting from JPEG to PNG directly doesn't fix the quality issue but rather bloats file size. PNG is the easiest to work with because no compounding lossy compression with each save to edit.
+:::::::The direct conversion from GIF to PNG doesn't do anything as well but the compression is better if it were in PNG (after pngout or something has been applied to the PNG). If the sprites or screenshots were taken from a raw (uncompressed) source (such as bitmap), all colors would be preserved if saved in PNG and not GIF. Adamws says he's got the PNG replacements. Should someone else take care of pages protected from edits by regular users? --[[User:Wildgoosespeeder|Wildgoosespeeder]] ([[User talk:Wildgoosespeeder|talk]]) 05:24, 20 September 2016 (UTC)
+::::::::No. As I mentioned upthread, they do not need to be changed. End of discussion.

+:::::::::OK. Thanks for getting that clarified. --[[User:Wildgoosespeeder|Wildgoosespeeder]] ([[User talk:Wildgoosespeeder|talk]]) 08:49, 20 September 2016 (UTC)
