I've added a new option to the [[The Five Doctors]] page. A DVD section which looks great and which I tend to do for other pages on DVD, VHS, Audio and Novel releases but I would appreciate some help from anyone who wishes to help. --[[User:Vitas|Vitas]] 09:46, 16 March 2008 (UTC) | I've added a new option to the [[The Five Doctors (TV story)|The Five Doctors]] page.

:A gallery of the DVD releases is fine, except you also edited out the information on the video releases. I've readded the information from a previous edit and added further detail. --[[User:Tangerineduel|Tangerineduel]] 13:38, 16 March 2008 (UTC) | :A gallery of the DVD releases is fine, except you also edited out the information on the video releases.

Do you think we could do this to every story that has a VHS and DVD release. --[[User:Vitas|Vitas]] 08:00, 17 March 2008 (UTC) | Do you think we could do this to every story that has a VHS and DVD release. --[[User:Vitas|Vitas]] 08:00, 17 March 2008 (UTC) | ||

:::The <nowiki><gallery></nowiki> function produces godawfully ugly pages, and fails to relate picture to text. It also can't be precisely controlled in ''any significant'' way. Your choices are left, center, or right justification. That's it. The pictures go where the command wants them to go. If I could do one thing to the base wikicode it would be to obliterate galleries. | :::The <nowiki><gallery></nowiki> function produces godawfully ugly pages, and fails to relate picture to text.

:::However, given that it exists, it can be marginally successful if combined with the <nowiki><center></nowiki> command, and if each picture is fully described. See for instance [[:w:c:bionic:The Bionic Woman Aladdin lunchboxes|this page on the Bionic wiki]]. That's a very specialized case, though, because there's just not enough to say about ''Bionic Woman'' lunchboxes to really support all those pictures, but users would find multiple pictures entertaining and more useful than trying to ''describe'' them. Sometimes, pictures are worth a thousand words. As for our usage, I'm with Tangerineduel on this one. Sorry, but ''[[The Five Doctors]]'' page is in no way as useful as the ''[[An Unearthly Child]]'' page in this respect. Could ''An Unearthly Child'' be reformatted along the lines of the lunchbox page? Maybe, and maybe it'd look better. But on a strict comparison of the way things are now, AUC beats the gallery at TFD.

: In my experiance galleries should alway be avoided as it never works out and can be portrayed more effectivly using the AUC model however that said i think they still have there place on pages such as a cover artist, dispalying his work [[User:Dark Lord Xander|Dark Lord Xander]] 07:21, 16 July 2008 (UTC) | : In my experiance galleries should alway be avoided as it never works out and can be portrayed more effectivly using the AUC model however that said i think they still have there place on pages such as a cover artist, dispalying his work [[User:Dark Lord Xander|Dark Lord Xander]] 07:21, 16 July 2008 (UTC) | ||
