I've been finding these during image moderation...

Say, for example, there is a page for Shana and someone will try to make a Shana gallery inside it. Isn't this very redundant? After all it is the page for Shana. Shouldn't galleries inside it be about what kind of Shana images they are? (Wallpapers, fan art, etc.).

This happened so much at GB and so many people approved these images, that I pretty much gave up opposing them.

I still don't see why they should be approved (as it would be an unnecessary gallery). Should they?

I think images need to be in a gallery...so the ones that are nothing special should go in a gallery describing the name of the page

But maybe what will happen is that people will add their images to the Character Name gallery (because the character is in it) in addition to another gallery.

AV defaults to the Gallery view instead of All Images... so if an image isn't in a gallery it will not be seen...

EDIT: I still find it redundant. Oh, well. If there are, say, Official Art + Fan Art + Wallpapers + other galleries describing what kind of images they are, then all images can be classified as one of those. If it can't be I think they should be left in All Images (but it wouldn't be necessary).

Well, maybe everyone who gets live edit should be told about the issue or a thread should be made, I still think the "redundant" gallery should exist, but I personally never would have thought of putting something in both galleries. Why would an image need to be in two galleries of the same page anyways, whether or not it does apply to two of them?

Points. The more galleries you put an image into, the more points you get. (That is one possibility, anyway)

In some cases I have thought of doing that (same image in multiple galleries), for example, when a Wallpaper is made from a fan art image. If you see the image linked both to Wallpapers and Fan Art, you know it is wallpaper-sized and is fan art, at the same time. I would only consider it if the fan art image is not by itself in a gallery (not used as a wallpaper). I don't like to do this, however.

EDIT: So I should approve Character page -> Character Name images, right?

Hmm, well, I guess, I'm inexperienced in how the galleries work here at GB/AV, so I really wouldn't know what to say that...expect use your best judgment.

But, personally I think the character name would be fine...wait, can't you change the name of the gallery they chose to make?

Renaming a gallery after it is made? I'm not sure if wiki mods can rename galleries... Don't remember. Well, over at GB, as a regular user, I can't do that (only galleries in my Images).

I was told they were able to by a wiki mod at CV, and I've seen G-Man do it before...but I don't know how to myself or if it can be done here.

I have been coming across these galleries too, seem pointless to me.

Edit: Oh I see the problem now, so it doesn't go to all images but to galleries instead... I see.
Nope, still think it should be deleted. I think everything can be sorted into galleries anyway, I don't see what images you would have that wouldn't fit in a gallery.

For Dragon Ball Z characters I'm using these galleries:
  • Dragon Ball Anime
  • Dragon Ball Z Anime
  • Dragon Ball GT Anime
  • Manga
  • Concept Art
  • Official Art Work
  • Fan Art
  • Wallpaper
  • Cosplay
  • Figures

I don't think anything else is needed. What other types of images are there? Just use galleries like those and we should be fine I think.

I heard that they can't rename, but they can delete. Meaning that instead of a nice quick rename, they'd have to move each image individually, and then delete the original gallery.
