I think we should have galleries as full articles, like other wikis such as the Super Mario Wiki, ZeldaWiki, WiKirby, etc. This only goes for galleries that are very large; small galleries would stay on the original page. Obsessive Mario Fan (talk) 17:51, April 29, 2019 (EDT)
- 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:Red 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. — {EspyoT} 16:41, April 30, 2019 (EDT)
- 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, like the Super Mario Wiki does.
