Hi Dark Lord, I'm not sure I understand your dislike of galleries. Messy?! Is that all galleries? or have you specific examples in mind. I tend to use galleries quite a bit in various sections I've done (mainly books, comics/magazines and comic strips) I can't think of more boring examples than text laden pages on such visual material! I appreciate that the infobox image at the top should be the main image (in the vast majority of pages) and that images should be pertinant to the text, but I see nothing wrong with cover galleries for example, as they are often a main point of reference. With regards to the cast bit don't you think that there is some merit in the "Oh, I recognise them, its him/her from that programme we like ...IN DR WHO!!"? where sometimes the name means nothing when presented in simply a list?

: Maybe its just me but i prefer cast / character lists becuase they are universal (all wiki's use them) in particular i the audios, but thats another matter don't get me wrong i have nothing against galleries, they have there uses like showing cover artists works, multiple covers for novel articles to the more gallary only pages which i dispise but seem to weed there way into all wiki's such as the gallery of daleks page ect. I would be happy to work with your idea and expand upon it (perhapse create a subpage and create a finished example of your idea) but i still think something like this is a good idea but something that belongs on its own page (or pehapse a list of main actors/actress's on season pages) but not on each individual serial. | : Maybe its just me but i prefer cast / character lists becuase they are universal (all wiki's use them) in particular i like the audios, but thats another matter don't get me wrong i have nothing against galleries, they have there uses like showing cover artists works, multiple covers for novel articles to the more gallary only pages which i dispise but seem to weed there way into all wiki's such as the gallery of daleks page ect.

This is just my opinion and if anyone else has any input i would be happy to consider what they have to say but at the moment i just don't think it will work (as i have said above if you create a copy of one on a sub user page and create one i will be able to see what your trying to do, if you need help with creating this leave a message on my talk page) [[User:Dark Lord Xander|Dark Lord Xander]] 03:12, 19 July 2008 (UTC) | This is just my opinion and if anyone else has any input i would be happy to consider what they have to say but at the moment i just don't think it will work (as i have said above if you create a copy of one on a sub user page and create one i will be able to see what your trying to do, if you need help with creating this leave a message on my talk page) [[User:Dark Lord Xander|Dark Lord Xander]] 03:12, 19 July 2008 (UTC) | ||
