:We should check the pros and cons that other wikis have with this format. All in all, a gallery page is no different from linking to the images category of that same subject. For instance, [[:Category:Bulborb images]]. If we only have some images in such an article, then who decides what images are worthy? And if we're only going to stick to a few, why not make them count and keep it as an in-page gallery? Or if we can't establish a limit, and we include all, then what's different from linking to the category? It adds more maintenance, it forces the reader to go to a different page just to see an image... Dunno, there are probably advantages, but I'm not seeing them. — '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 16:41, April 30, 2019 (EDT) | :We should check the pros and cons that other wikis have with this format.

::That would mean we'd upload images just for the sake of having it in a category, and not going on a page in the mainspace. Otherwise, we can add it to the article's gallery section. I just think this would be a good decision if a gallery section becomes overly long. I do think including every image related to a game in its gallery would work well, [https://www.mariowiki.com/Gallery:Luigi%27s_Mansion like the] [https://www.mariowiki.com/Gallery:Mario_Kart:_Double_Dash!!
