yAgain, we understand that many people were using it for the fan transparent collections, but its not what this Wiki is for. We're not an image host for fan edits. The "edited sprite errors" part of your post is a major part of why this is so important to go forward with. We're meant to be an easily accessible resource of official material, and we're not if people are making stylistic choices by editing the official art. If you want to discuss that with Mia Jenkins then I encourage you to talk to her on her wall.

We WISH we had official transparents to replace them with, but we don't. But at the same time, we can't guarantee that any fan transparents are actually reflective of the sprites they're meant to be. We allowed fan transparents initially because we assumed, like everyone, that they would be replaced by official transparents eventually so it would be harmless if there were edits or transparenting issues,but that was not the case when the HQ sprites were ripped. So this is all we can do to make sure the Wiki continues to reflect official material in all areas of the site.

We fully support fan transparent sprites on any other website, just not in our sprite galleries. Fan transparenters are welcome to host a thread in the forums with links to transparented sprites hosted elsewhere, be that imgur, tumblr, whatever, if they still want them to be easily accessed from the wiki.
