This continues a discussion started at Talk:Fourth Doctor...
I was looking at a few other wikia's last night and I thought the way that the Marvel Database handles galleries (Spider-Man_(Peter_Parker)/Gallery) is interesting. That would make a gallery for the Fourth Doctor something along the lines of Fourth_Doctor/Gallery... or maybe we could look at something similar to talk:Fourth Doctor and go with gallery:Fourth Doctor. --Raukodraug 18:03, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
- this Wiki already has a format for galleries for characters. so either we should keep the old format or change the old galleries to conform with the new format, for consistency's sake.
- example of the current format:
- Gallery of Cybermen--Stardizzy2 19:59, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
- I had come across that Cybermen gallery once before, but it had totally slipped my mind. The thing is though, that article stands completely alone. Prior to the link in this forum thread, nothing linked to Gallery of Cybermen. Since there are only a few galleries right now, it might be interesting to look at creating a more consistent gallery template that can be integrated directly into a character/species page. --Raukodraug 03:39, 2 July 2009 (UTC)
- Fourth Doctor/Gallery would perhaps be better the other option, at least then it would tie directly to the Fourth Doctor page (or whichever page it is used on).
- I definitely think if we're going to implement it it should be an option rather than a rule. As our list of available sources for images to cover things can be limited in some instances, in reality we've got screenshots, comics and the covers of the New/Missing Adventures and the Bernice Summerfield novels/novells/audios.
