===License===
===License===
Each type of image requires a different image licensing template. For most types of files, the license is chosen automatically when you select the appropriate type, but if you are ever given the question about what the license should be, please pick from these options (which could vary depending on some conditions):
Every uploaded file requires a licensing message to be displayed. For game/media copyrighted fair use, omit the <code>license</code> parameter entirely from the {{tem|file info}} template. This should be done for all content from or of the ''Pikmin'' games and similar media, such as screenshots, artwork, and textures. In other cases, such as a user image or real-world photograph, see [[Template:License]] for a list of available options. If a specific license is required which is not listed, it may need to be added to the template.
*"Video game screenshot" for when it's an in-game screenshot.
*"Concept art" for official concept art or artwork made by the developers of a game.
*"Audio" for audio files.
*"User image" for an image that is irrelevant to the series, and is to be used by users only (read more [[#User images|here]]).
*"Texture" for an image that comes directly from the game's files.
*"Public domain" for when the image doesn't have any licensing. Only pick this if you know what you're doing.
*"Copyrighted" for images that belong to somebody else, but are meant to be used fairly on the wiki.
*"Free licenses" for specific licenses, when you know what they are.


===User images===
===User images===
You can upload images that are not related to the wiki or the series, especially if you only plan on using them for yourself, but remember to not overdo it. We're not an image hosting platform. You may only have '''five user images'''.

===Transparency crops===
You may crop out the background of an image so that it's replaced with transparency, but make sure the image retains a good quality, the leftover blank space around the subject is gone, and there are no obvious artifacts from the cropping process.

If you want to capture a scene in an [[area]] in {{hp}} using both screens, you'll need to combine and align them manually, since each screen is an independent screenshot. Vertically, you'll need to place a gap between the two screens, which seems to be 32 pixels high. Horizontally, both screens should be centered.

* Using the built-in screenshot and video feature. Press the capture button for a screenshot, and hold it to save a video of the last 30 seconds. To export images and videos, there are 2 options. If you have a microSD card in your Switch, screenshots will be saved on that. Turn your console completely off, remove the card safely, and connect it to a computer to access the files. Alternatively, the Switch has a feature to export images to a mobile device or social media site. In the image gallery, select a screenshot or video, press {{button|switch|a}}, select one of the export options, and follow the instructions on-screen. If you download the file from a social media site before uploading the file to Pikipedia, the quality may be degraded.
