Help:Uploading sprites

From PMDOWiki

This page will demonstrate how to upload game sprites to this wiki.

Acquiring the sprite in question

All of PMDO's sprites can be found in the RawAsset repository. Folders of interest include:

  • Item — item sprites
  • Portrait — Pokémon portraits
  • Icon — status icons
  • Object — miscellaneous, including traps, and stairs tiles.

When you find the sprite you're looking for, download it at its original size.

Uploading the sprite

Visit the Special:BatchUpload page.

Before selecting any files, add the appropriate category to the empty text box. Only upload one category at a time:

  • [[Category: Item sprites]] for item sprites.
  • [[Category: Portraits]] for Pokémon portraits.
  • [[Category: Status icons]] for status condition icons.
  • [[Category: Tile sprites]] for trap, stairs, and Wonder Tile sprites.

Make sure your sprites' file names are correct. For all sprites except Pokémon portraits, use the original file name from the RawAsset repo.
For Pokémon portraits, change their file names to Portrait_[POKÉMON NAME].png, where [POKÉMON NAME] is the name of the Pokémon. For example:

  • Portrait_Charmander.png
  • Portrait_Farfetch'd.png
  • Portrait_Alolan_Vulpix.png

Click the "Select Files" button, select all the sprites of your chosen category, and hit OK. All of the sprites will then be uploaded and their category automatically set. You are now ready to use the sprites on wiki pages.
