 :::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.

+:::::::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)

+Hi! I've Been Trying to Become Autoconfirmed for about 24 Hours Now, and I'm still not Autoconfirmed. I've made Multuple Edits, and I need to Upload LGPE Sprites, But I can't. If theres anything I need to do, I'll do it. Thanks, and have a nice day!  [[User:BrendanC|Brendan C]] ([[User talk:BrendanC|talk]]) 22:35, 19 November 2018 (UTC)Brendan C
+:Hi there, the requirements to become auto confirmed is based on not only your number of contributions but also your account must be opened for a specific amount of time. Check back within a few days and see how it goes. Thank you for your contributions!
