Adding stuff on moving and deleting images and personal images
m (Adding stuff on moving and deleting images and personal images)
=====Are there rules to using the userspace?=====
Generally there shouldn't be a userpage on the Archives. That isn't the purpose of this site. It would be better if you went to Bulbapedia to create your userpage, however; a simple link or redirect to your Bulbapedia page is alright. Userspace limits are the same here as on Bulbapedia, three edits per day. If you go above this limit, you may lose your privilege to edit your userpage here indefinitely.
=====Can I have personal images?=====
Yes, however there are rules. There are two images allowed per user and they must '''not''' include a photograph of a user's self, these images will be deleted. Other personal images include personal logos, personal trainer sprites, drawings, trainer cards and mostly any image that would only be used in the User: namespace and have no encyclopedic value to Bulbagarden and its affiliates. Users wishing to upload personal images should tag thim with the {{template|i-Personal}} template for easier organization.
===Problems with other users===
=====I uploaded an image and added it over to Bulbapedia, but why isn't it showing up?=====
=====Someone mentioned that I shouldn't be using jpgs, why?=====
=====There isn't a need for an image, can I delete it?=====
Deleting images is an administrator and above tool. If a file should be deleted, you can place the {{template|delete}} on the page, along with the reason for deletion, like <nowiki>{{delete|this is a duplicate image of [[File:Example.jpg]]}}</nowiki>.
=====This file has a wrong name, how do I change it?=====
Moving files is a junior administrator and above tool. However, if a file does need to be changed, you can place the {{template|move}} on the page, along with the new filename, like <nowiki>{{move|New filename}}</nowiki>. After an image is moved, an administrator will delete the redirect and remove the template.
