Why do you think galleries are better. I would like to know. Is it because of the wikia pressure that they have built. Is it because you love being disorganized and not willing to perpetuate this wikia. Frankly, I feel all arguments coming for the galley side have no basis or have no validity. I myself, along with Andy have proven with IRL wikia pages, that galleries defect a page. That it's not as easy as it seems to find a photo and the efficiency of a slideshow. I would like to see the validity and based arguments from the other side. As I mentioned in the thread, there needs to be a legitimate debate. Not users saying " I vote for gallery because I like it, or Slideshow is cool. " All these votes will be turned down and will not be tallied. I feel that the other side is very confident of their victory. True, it has been used by the wikia a lot of times, but does that mean that it's the right choice. The slideshow side, bases their opinion on other study cases, (other wikis) I've seen that the most popular and top WAM scorer wikia's use slideshows to represent their media. Why? Because it will make the reader engaged and willin to participate. For all you users who bring up the point" I can't see the photo, with galley I can." As a matter if fact, galleries have differnt photos stacked on top of each other, so it's really hard to see a photo you like. You have to click on it and it will bring you to another link. If our community is really lazy then they should go for slideshow. Slideshow has a clear shot of a photo, individually and precisely. No extra clicking, not too much work. Both sides are happy. I feel that users are voting for galleries for no legit reasons, sice galley is more for children and the lesser aged audience which we do to have on our wiki. It's not a 5 year old colouring book, it's a full page documentation. Slideshows can be easily moved around when edited.You can drag the whole slideshow, with just one push of a button. Top to bottom, right to left,slideshows can do it quickly and moderately.Galleries in the other hand,  are a pain to move because they are not combined or put together.Then, there's the issue about, scrolling. I agree a collapsible table would help. Why dosent the wikia agree on this. I'm going to finish by saying, please think before you vote. Do not get seduced by the gallery's non-logical arguments. Trust the users you know, who have worked with both tools and know their basics and fundamentals. Do not get pressured by users who have no knowledge of either, who vote with no reason apart from copying other members of staff. You guys are all smart and talented. Please use your wisdom for the benefit of the wikis.
