Welcome

Welcome to the Bulbagarden Archives, Dot455!

By creating your account you are now able to upload images to help Bulbapedia and Bulbanews. Before you jump in, take a look at these helpful tips:

Uploaded images must meet several requirements. Please see the upload form and/or manual of style before you upload a new image.
All images need categories and license tags. Save time and fill them out as you upload. There are many different licenses - be sure to pick the best fit.
Use meaningful filenames. Make them descriptive so that searchers can find your images easily.
Personal images are no longer allowed. Any personal images found will be deleted on sight.
If you don't have any images to submit, you can still help out.
If you have any more questions, see the FAQ or ask a staff member.

Thank you, and have a good time uploading here!

Just FYI, you create categories using brackets (as if it was a link); for example, [[Category:Pokémon Ranger]], otherwise it will be just text. In the Ranger location template, the game is the second variable, not third, with floor being used to add something to the name without changing the link to the article, like a specific floor of a tower (hence the name) or a specific part of the map that is loaded separately (here's an example on a Mystery Dungeon image).

Thanks for the advice, but I still don't quite understand what you mean by that. I think I just need like a more detailed example to understand the whole tagging system and all of the tags for the images I'm uploading. I'd be happy to learn while going through and fixing everything I've uploaded so far.Dot455 (talk) 16:50, 2 June 2021 (UTC)

Here's an example of an edit I did to fix the categories. Also, in the case it would make more sense to add something in front of the name, you can use altlink to make link independent of the main field, like in this edit. Eridanus (talk) 17:06, 2 June 2021 (UTC)

New images

When uploading new images, could add a summary to your images alongside the categories. For example, Dewgong Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon QR Code--BigDocFan, Junior Admin Bulbapedia (talk) 15:32, 10 February 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for following my request, it makes things easier having summaries in place when the image is first uploaded.--BigDocFan, Junior Admin Bulbapedia (talk) 00:31, 11 February 2023 (UTC)

No problem, but it's weird trying to put the categories in the licensing section when that's usually handled by the dropdown menu.Dot455 (talk) 00:34, 11 February 2023 (UTC)

We used to do it that way until a few years ago but things changed, also could you add 's after the Pokemon's name in the summary, such as Dewgong's Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon QR Code--BigDocFan, Junior Admin Bulbapedia (talk) 00:36, 11 February 2023 (UTC)

I'll start doing that now. Also I just realized we've been linking these are generic QR codes, despite the fact that https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/QR_Scanner is the page we probably should be linking this too. I'm gonna start linking to that and when I'm done with this batch of 100 I can start going in reverse to correct old ones.Dot455 (talk) 00:43, 11 February 2023 (UTC)

Reminder: please do not forget to add proper summaries, rights templates, and categories to the images you upload or have uploaded. --FinnishPokéFan92 (talk) 10:51, 3 July 2023 (UTC)

Paldea maps

Hello, I saw that you had added the maps for Paldea and Kitakami locations (E.g. Caph's Squad Base map). How did you create them? → PikaTe pig999 18:05, 30 September 2023 (UTC)
