PokeGods
Bulbapedia has an article on |"PokéGods". Should we consider linking it in the article? Lizardcreator (talk) 01:21, 9 November 2023 (UTC)
 * If you can find reliable secondary sources discussing them, yes. Di (they-them) (talk) 01:24, 9 November 2023 (UTC)

Higher image quality
I found a higher quality version of the image uploaded by the author here: https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/darkandwindiefakemon/images/7/78/Parroot.png (i.e. from this page). Should we replace the original file? I wanted to do that myself, but File:Fakemon Parroot (transparent).png can only be edited by admins right now. Also, the copyright situation is kind of vague here (their wiki says If you wish to use any of them for something, contact me. Do not steal my work., but the YouTube upload is under a CC-BY licence), so I thought I'd bring it up here before doing anything stupid. ArcticSeeress (talk) 09:56, 9 November 2023 (UTC)
 * The YouTube video being released under CC-BY overrides any non-legally binding statements such as "contact me". A CC license is irrevocable and legally binding. However, we can only use the lower-quality version because it's specifically derived from the YouTube video, so we can't take a version from anywhere else that isn't under that license.

 * Di, what about the thumbnail? Is it also freely licensed? — Davest3r08 (^ &lowbar; ^)  ( t a l k )  21:46, 11 November 2023 (UTC)
 * I did some searching and it turns out that the lower-res image's license passes on to the high-res image according to the Creative Commons FAQ: Can I apply a CC license to low-resolution copies of a licensed work and reserve more rights in high-resolution copies?. "However, if the low-resolution and high-resolution copies are the same work under applicable copyright law, permission under a CC license is not limited to a particular copy, and someone who receives a copy in high resolution may use it under the terms of the CC license applied to the low-resolution copy."
 * So, a higher res can definitely be used. Endof  talk  18:31, 13 November 2023 (UTC)
