Outpost Gallifrey had something similar to their old site for each episode and to me it looked great. Also with what I added to The Five Doctors page, somehow it actually looks better rather than just all that info. --[[User:Vitas|Vitas]] 07:40, 18 March 2008 (UTC) | Outpost Gallifrey had something similar to their old site for each episode and to me it looked great.

:::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. | |||
:::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.
