I just want to ask again.. if these maps would be ok to upload over the current B2W2 maps?
Example:
I've already done them all so it's just a matter of uploading them...

@s2daam; Area highlighted town map files should use the highlight style from the Area function of the Pokédex.
@TheOriginalOne; This really is more than just Archives related. The three wikis in the Bulbawiki Network already have unified login. We looked into such merging with the BMGf, but it's just not really something we're able to do at this time.
@Chosen of Mana; That may be something to look into.
What do you mean with that??? I still have to log in multiple times, I don't know if you got it. Also, don't forget to analyse the idea of supporting music files on the archives.Quote:

However, I've noticed a problem with the File description pages: The links under "Global file usage" do not work (Look here for an example). They point to the archives itself rather than to the main wiki, where they appear to be intended to point to.
@TheOriginalOne; Far too many copyright issues with music files. If we're going to use any sound files, we'd likely have to limit such to Pokémon cries. As for unified wiki login, you may need to try using the account merger tool on Bulbapedia, as well as select the option to remember your login when you log in.
@Luigi-San; We're quite aware of the issue regarding Global File usage, but we're currently unable to find the cause of the problem. However, the issues will be fixed when we're able to do so.
I need a quick memory refresher... we're supposed to avoid using accents, including the ever-present "é" when naming files, right?
Are you really sure that, contrary to in wikipedia, it's impossible??? I'm saying this because it's not as little important as you say: I'm also thinking about location and battle musics on the wiki (those would be REALLY helpful!). Other ones would be possible, like the music that plays when a certain trainer challenges the player, or specific themes that only play for one important person (example:Eusine's music). All in all, I think music on bulbapedia would be as important as on wikipedia. So, do the copyright issues still not compensate (and are they really such a big thing?) ?Quote:

???
So, we won't need to ask anyone for copyright, because it's easy as this. Now, if you still say something else about copyright... if people can publish the musics on youtube, why can't we upload them to the archives???
Because all that music on YT is technically illegal, unless specifically allowed to publish by certain parties, and 90-99% of people who upload said music do not have that permission.Quote:

By the way you're speaking, people could also say that the youtubevid template is illegal, right? Oh yeah, does wikipedia have any great problems when it comes to that? And who said that Game Freak minds when it's used on a wiki? Maybe they recognize that it is important for people to have access to that on this website, because they rely on it. We have to be sure. Even if there's copyright involved, maybe some authorized video authors were also authorized to give the publish the video in other places... maybe with this feature! If nothing is true... come on, how much would it cost to bulbagarden just to ask for some musics???Quote:

Pronounciations cause too much debate. People can't agree on the correct one, even within official Nintendo sources. Heck, some Pokemon the anime alone has given us two different pronounciations. Also, I feel the need to point out that "Accentless" is highly subjective.Quote:

Finally, @TheOriginalOne; you completely missed the point. Obviously not everything on Youtube is illegal, or the whole site would have been shut down long ago. That doesn't mean that people don't upload illegal stuff. Something being on Youtube doesn't mean it's legal, it just means that someone who has internet access has it in some form. That's why videos are often removed for copyright violations. If someone was to use the Youtube video template to share, for example, a full episode of the anime, then yes, it would be illegal and the person that did it would be in big trouble. A recording of someone performing a glitch on the other hand is a legitimate use of the template, and isn't a problem.
Also, in response to your "Who says Game Freak minds" comment. . . we don't know. If they don't mind and we put it up then nothing happens. If they do mind and we put it up, they are well within their rights to shut the entire site down. We cannot put something up just because there is a possibility that they might not mind.
