Filesize
I can see that the filesize for this sprite is larger than what is displayed in-game. Are there any rules on sprite sizes for the wiki? Cremia2000 (talk) 17:37, 11 May 2017 (UTC)


 * It does not matter much, as the quality of the image should not be affected. In a perfect world, sprites should be uploaded at original size just to preserve the information of what the actual in-game size is, but again in terms of quality it does not matter. Hope that answers your question. -- Hylian pi (talk) 19:46, 11 May 2017 (UTC)


 * It somewhat does, except that the sprites on the wiki are mostly at 48x48px or something. What's your opinion on that, Hylian? It seems like a lot to change. Cremia2000 ( My talk ) 20:26, 11 May 2017 (UTC)


 * I'm just going by what our Lead Developer told me. He said that "3 times the original game size was the unwritten rule of thumb for Gameboy games. But since we made a technical change, now you can scale a sprite however you want without it affecting the quality of the image." If you want to re-upload the sprites as their original size, no one's stopping you, but I'm told it won't necessarily make a difference other than, again, preserving that information.

 * The wiki functions so sprites that are upscaled (in galleries for example) won't look downgraded in quality. Therefore, it's always better to have sprites (and other files such as screenshots) in their native resolution, although upscaling them isn't really "prohibited" per se. 17:52, 12 May 2017 (UTC)
