== Linking in summaries ==
Please use the {{template|bp}} template to link to Bulbapedia articles. Regular links link to pages in Archives (which does, of course, not have an article for SSBM or Photography). Thanks! [[User:UltimateSephiroth|UltimateSephiroth]] 16:43, 4 October 2009 (UTC)

== Anime pics ==
Anime pics have to be .png format, because it is a higher quality pic format. --[[User:Hmdwgf|Hmdwgf]] 20:47, 6 December 2009 (UTC)

::Good job. One thing: there's a logo at the top right of the pic. But this is easy to miss because it is very small and transparent. Don't feel bad, there are many other pics with that same logo on this website. Please don't upload any pics with logos on them. Other than that, good job so far. --[[User:Hmdwgf|Hmdwgf]] 08:33, 7 December 2009 (UTC)

Shouldn't they be in 56 x 56 format? Just wondering, since [[:File:Spr 2g 001.png]] is in that format. [[User:Ht14|<span style="color:#E1E1E1"><sup>'''''ht'''''</sup></span>]][[User talk:Ht14|<span style="color:#B69E00"><small>''14''</small></span>]] 18:42, 1 January 2010 (UTC)

== Piece of advice ==
 
When adding in the Location template for the images, it is not really necessary to do them on the jpgs or gifs as those can get replaced over time with a png. If you do see those, you can tag them with the jpg/gif template. [[User:Pattyman|Pattyman]] 20:05, 7 March 2012 (UTC)
:Not entirely true. Just because a file is not of the proper file format, does not mean it should be passed over for proper summary/category fixes. So, please, keep up with the proper location template work. But, yes, they should also get the fitting replacement tag so people who want to help out by doing needed jpg/gif replacements can also find that it is an image that needs such replacing. - [[User:Kogoro|'''<span class="sc" style="color:#DA70D6;">Kogoro</span>''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''<span class="sc" style="color:#FFB6C1;">Talk to me</span>''']] - 22:19, 7 March 2012 (UTC)

Please be a little more careful when modifying the summary and licensing of images, you have been replacing anime templates with game ones.

== [[:File:Blue II OD.png|File]] ==
 
Can you resize it? Didn't had time to do that. And the overworld sprite template is usable for more than two games? Since I'll guess the sprite is the same in Gold/Silver... [[User:Marked +-+-+|Marked +-+-+]] 19:44, 8 March 2012 (UTC)
:The sprite was only two X-pixels off from that of [[:File:Red II OD.png|Red OD II.png]], so I just added on one on each side. The overworld template's third parameter can use any sort of text and link templates, so if you wanted to say Gold, Silver, and Crystal, you would just type <nowiki>{{bp|Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions|Gold, Silver}} and {{bp|Pokémon Crystal Version|Crystal}}</nowiki> - [[User:Chosen|<span style="color:#F85888">Chosen</span>]] <span style="color:#6890F0">of</span> [[User talk:Chosen|<span style="color:#F8D030">Mana</span>]] 20:00, 8 March 2012 (UTC)

Since the modifications I'll be making in a few hours may break all the files you've already added this too ^^; And, yeah, wait for approval next time before setting a template out into live use and make sure to get opinions before making major modifications to how any current template works/displays. - [[User:Kogoro|'''<span class="sc" style="color:#DA70D6;">Kogoro</span>''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''<span class="sc" style="color:#FFB6C1;">Talk to me</span>''']] - 14:17, 17 April 2012 (UTC)

== Change reporter and cameraman OD files ==
 
Hi there Chosen, can you please change the file name of Reporter OD.png and Cameraman OD.png to Reporter OD DP.png and Cameraman DP OD.png as I have already uploaded the images for Gabby and Ty's OD sprite. Thanks. [[User:Agent5514|Agent5514]] ([[User talk:Agent5514|talk]]) 13:34, 4 June 2013 (UTC)
: Last I was told, the trainer OD sprites are given generational parameters (i.e. IV, DPPt) only if there is a more up-to-date version in a new generation. Since there is no Cameraman or Interviewer class in Generation IV, the files in question do not need to be updated.
: For future reference, all Hoenn overworld sprites fitting the above description should be labeled "RSE", not "RS". - [[Bp:User:Chosen|<span style="color:#F85888">Chosen</span>]] <span style="color:#6890F0">of</span> [[User talk:Chosen|<span style="color:#F8D030">Mana</span>]] 11:45, 5 June 2013 (UTC)

== Color correction on sugi art ==
 
Hey. I noticed the current art for tentacruel and gengar had modified colors, so I edited them to appear as they do in official products. That is, as the art appears in guidebooks and such. Tentacreul had a slight purple tint over it, so I just removed that, and for gengar, it was edited to appear as he does in the games, so I undid that.
 
The issue is, I can't update those files, it won't let me. If you could do it for me, that would be great.
 
It's worth noting that tentacruel is still a tiny bit off, but it's as good as I can get it for now, and it's much closer to the actual art's colors than it was.

Hello, Jabberwockxeno. As you might have noticed, the memebers of the Archives are always editing and re-editing Sugimori Pokémon artwork to get them as close to the genuine article as possible. Since this is a wiki, every user can upload a new version of almost any picture on the site. If you feel like the color corrected artworks you've made are better than the ones we currently have, please feel free to upload them, provided their dimensions are identical (i.e. 252 x 252, 785 x 785). I'll make sure then other  Archives admins see this, but please note that we are always looking for ways to improve the quality of the artwork we have on Bulbapedia. - [[Bp:User:Chosen|<span style="color:#F85888">Chosen</span>]] <span style="color:#6890F0">of</span> [[User talk:Chosen|<span style="color:#F8D030">Mana</span>]] 14:49, 21 September 2013 (UTC)
