Is there any way to upload sprites to the wikia in .png format? Just asking because currently the Pyrovar egg in Currently Being Released looks absolutely atrocious, like it's been run through .jpg saves 4 times in a row or something. I see now it's in .gif, but really, since 99% of the images on this wikia are sprites, a direct .png upload would be the best way to display the quality of the spriters' art.
You can upload .png files to the wiki, yes. All sprites are downloaded directly from the site and some are png while others are gif. I can't see the difference in quality that you're mentioning though- could this be something related to your browser? Wikia is known to have caching issues when it comes to externally showing an image, are you able to post a screenshot of what you're seeing?
Hi, I'm sorry I completely forgot this at the time, so the images I was talking about are obviously no longer up.
I was still going to find an example of blatant image deterioration, but in doing so I think I found the source of the corruption: it's just the upload to wikia that ruins image quality. The two images I uploaded here look bad. The beige background is a scroll screenshot, and compared to how it actually looks on my scroll, this is completely fudged, pixel value is averaged all over, so there is less contrast and lines are not well-defined. The screenshot I took of the wikia image is even worse, as it is a smudged image of an already-smudged image.
For comparison, here are the two images hosted independently:
That's very strange, because the Magma sprite I see on the wiki is the one you've posted as seeing on your scroll. I'm aware that Wikia has had caching problems with images before in the past- try hitting Ctrl + F5 on your computer to do a hard refresh on the Magma Dragon page and see if that fixes things (if you're on a Mac, you'll have to search up how to do a hard refresh as I'm unsure).
