Spiny

Can we have a Spiny gallery?Fuzzy in New Super Mario Bros. UYoshiGo99Artwork of a Yoshi egg on a tilt. It is unknown whether this artwork was released with a certain game or not.

Spiny don't have that much artworks, so I guess no. SWFlashSWFlash.svg

Mario's Forms

On subjects section of the template, Mini Mario & Metal Mario are put in characters rather characters rather than forms. While I believe this is a mistake for Mini Mario, I'm not to sure about Metal Mario.

It is Mini Mario from the Mario vs. Donkey Kong series, not the form. The Metal Mario is the character. --A sprite of a Flame Chomp from New Super Mario Bros. Wii.TheFlameChomp (talk) 09:37, 15 February 2017 (EST)
Oh. I should of checked that first, but I do think it should say Mini Mario (Mario vs. Donkey Kong) or Mini Mario (Toy) to make sure it doesn't cause any more confusion.

Why alphabetical?

Yes, I've read the section about listing the links. It states, "The lists of links should be grouped in a way that makes finding entries simple; generally this means alphabetical order should be used". I want to put emphasis on the word "generally." In many cases, alphabetical order is typical strategy to use, but it doesn't always have to be used. For example when listing a series of games in alphabetical order instead of chronological. I understand this template is for Galleries, but wouldn't it be better if it were in chronological order just like the template for a game's series? Imagine the Mario games template and the Galleries template were side-by-side to each other. If I wanted to find Super Mario Bros., I would look over at the Super Mario series section and see that it's the first thing there. Keeping this in mind, I now want to look at the Super Mario Bros. gallery, so I look on over to the Super Mario section of the Galleries template, assuming to find that the link would be the first one there, only to find that New Super Mario Bros. has taken its spot.

Basically what I'm trying to say is that it would be better if the Gallery template reflected the chronological order of all the series' games since it would "make finding entires simple" instead of having one alphabetical and one chronological? AceFedora (talk) 03:01, 14 February 2019 (EST)

That is exactly the case, in my opinion. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 04:39, 14 February 2019 (EST)
