Forum:Gallery Standardization

Forums: Index → Community Proposal → Gallery Standardization

To keep this short and to the point what is everyone's thoughts on making the galleries essentially match their list of appearances sections? Subtank told me a while back that the Anniversary images should go with their perspective game images. However this was before Halo 2 Anniversary came out, and the different engines between the campaign and multiplayer does affect the way weapons and vehicles look. Likewise I've looked through the Manual of Style and the help sections and couldn't find proper protocol for the galleries.

So my proposal: Have the images in the gallery go in real life-chronological order based on their perspective media's release date. This would move most of the images from CEA and 2A down further in various article galleries. Ultimately this doesn't really change much, but I just wanted it to be made the standard.Sith-venator Wavingstrider (Commlink) 13:48, 11 May 2015 (EDT)

I've been wanting a chronological order too, but I've just been assuming it. I actually would prefer the Gallery to go in order of chronological release date of the media, but with remakes placed right after the originals. It's graphically less smooth of a transition, but I think it's more logical. Of course, I think any functionally important images, such as comparisons and diagrams should go first in a gallery, then the chronological order takes place.--File:1221751884 I-animated-this-for-you.gifEnder the XenocideFile:1221751884 I-animated-this-for-you.gif 14:12, 11 May 2015 (EDT)

Well as it stands right now this is what galleries are.

This is what I'd like them to be.

It would be nice to have a proper standard for this. I'm alright if we incorporate this into the Layout Guide/Manual of Style.--Spartacus ^{Talk • Contribs} 14:19, 11 May 2015 (EDT)

Exactly. This way it matches up with the same style we have for the list of appearances.Sith-venator Wavingstrider (Commlink) 14:23, 11 May 2015 (EDT)
