While I think that GIFs should be used over APNGs where there is no quality loss (for moves we will still need to use APNGs), I feel that I need to correct this: they don't work on Internet Explorer and Chrome. Firefox is in fact the most commonly used browser for viewing APNGs.Quote:

4. Perhaps I was egregious with saying NONE of the sprites are animated, as some are, but still. B/W's been out for a year, Pt and HG/SS for a few, and D/P for several. Let's get them uploaded and as GIFs, so that more than just Firefox users (and the 21,100 users of something I'll mention below) can see. If the flurry of moving images looks ugly, we can maybe hide them in a "Show/Hide" box?
5. Yeah, I was surprised that we have gotten so many animations of the moves when relatively few of the Pokémon's sprites are animated.

^ APNG viewer Extension for Chrome. It works perfectly. In fact the sole reason I downloaded it was Bulbapedia.
I feel I need to note here there is an extension for chrome that allows apngs.
Also, we are looking into ways to actually have the system convert, so that IE users can view them without all of them having to be replaced. Last time we tried to do anything major with the sprites was over a year and three quarters ago and it is still not complete. And that was only half of the sprites we had before B2W2 was released. Since we can't change any of the templates on Bulbapedia until every single one is complete, a manual conversion to gif is basically not an option anyway. If a manual change were to go ahead, I would be surprised if you saw any change on Bulbapedia within about five years of it starting.
If we can get past the technical issues, we would certainly like to at least upload the game cries.Quote:

I haven't installed that, because to do so I need to allow it toQuote:

Not what I meant; just adding a picture as good as Rhyhorn appears. From that angle, above and to the left. Maybe include another image from the reverse angle, above and to the rear right (to see its backside).Quote:

According to one reviewer of the Extension, "Google made the permission groups that extensions can select _far_ too broad, so something that (for example) only needs to add a little change to each page still has to ask for the whole "data on all websites" permission."

Simple mobile skin auto change - MediaWiki
All I found over the Bulbapedia is some of the walkthrough articles for the Pokémon games need to be completed as listed below, and some of these sections and chapters for the walkthroughs need be be added or completed as listed below:
- Appendix:Diamond and Pearl walkthrough
- Appendix:Emerald walkthrough
- Appendix:Mystery Dungeon 2 walkthrough
- Appendix:Mystery Dungeon walkthrough
- Appendix:Platinum walkthrough
- Appendix:Pokémon Battle Revolution walkthrough
- Appendix:Pokémon Dash walkthrough
- Appendix:Pokémon Ranger 3 walkthrough
- Appendix:Pokémon Ranger walkthrough
- Appendix:Pokémon Rumble Blast walkthrough
- Appendix:Pokémon Stadium walkthrough
- Appendix:Pokémon XD walkthrough
- Appendix:Yellow walkthrough
But, I wish everyone were never too darn lazy to complete these walkthrough articles so every users can read them all as completed. But I not gonna edit them all because the userspace editing is restricted to one edit per day due to the release of Pokémon Black 2 and White 2. So why is anyone too darn lazy to do so?
They're not in the userspace, they're in the appendix space. They don't fall under that limit. You're welcome to improve them as you see fit.Quote:

He's working with Joypad Records and the Pokemon Company to release it as a video game cover album. His main website is Pokémon Reorchestrated and to sample some of the songs he's done so far, his YouTube account is Pokémon Reorchestrated - YouTube.
I'm a fan too, but unfortunately I don't think this will make it on the wiki. Only official Pokémon games, merchandise, films, events, and projects are generally allowed.Quote:

Dunno if this is quite the right thread, but... have the edits from the past week or so completely vanished for anyone else? They haven't been reverted- it's more like they were never made in the first place.
Well, but if he's working with the Pokemon Company, then wouldn't that technically make it official?
I was going to say that the biggest issue was likely a potential copyright one, but given that it's fully licensed that's a non-issue. Given that it's fully licensed, I would say that once the album released it should definitely get an article. I know a few staff members have been following that project, so I'd like them to weigh in on the potential of an article before that.Quote:
