Editing MarioWiki talk:Galleries

{{talk}}
Would it be a better idea to create a subpage rather than another page for galleries? For instance, rather than using the name ''Gallery:Super Mario 3D World'', it is instead ''Super Mario 3D World/Gallery''. This way, we can ditch point-out-the-obvious intro lines while retaining the important link that leads back to the article's page. Plus, it is more easily found on the search engine, so many users can see the gallery pages of the subject they want to find once they start typing. It will take some work, however, and that's probably the biggest downside. {{User:LeftyGreenMario/sig}} 22:00, 2 January 2014 (EST)


:However, the reason why we abolished subpages of articles in the past (i.e. [[Super Mario Bros./Glitches]]) was because the articles should be able to exist on their own merit and not just as an extension of an existing page (as per [[MarioWiki:Subpages Policy]]. Any besides, "Gallery" is its own namespace.

-::Ah, I see. Good thing I can some information about this before starting any unnecessary proposals. I'm not too spot-on with policy (so much words >_<), so thanks for telling me.<br>{{User:Mario/sig}} 14:28, 4 January 2014 (EST)
-==What's included?==
-{{Talk}}
-Should ''all'' images of something be in a gallery? For example, should [https://www.mariowiki.com/File:NSMBU_Deluxe_Alternate_Banner_2.png this image] be added to [[Jump]]'s [[Jump#Gallery|gallery]], since it features jumping? And if so, should its [[Gallery:New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe|alternate versions]] be added along with it? (It just sorta seemed like saturation, so I thought I'd check in first.)

-== What exactly should go in a screenshot section? ==
-{{talk}}
-I usually see the "screenshot" section used most before a game's release, for official press screenshots. It's also usually rather unorganized, with the images being released before people know where they take place in the game. Adding every screenshot of a game to this one gallery section seems excessive, so should it just be official screenshots or trailer images? What should be added here, and how much is too much? {{User:Scrooge200/sig}} 22:57, April 15, 2021 (EDT)
