I should've replied sooner.

It's not even just the character galleries, the episode galleries have images that differ only by a few frames, too.

I'd like to suggest image-heavy galleries that have not been separated use my Template:Hide (in use on the Administration page) as a temporary fix. I actually attempted to create some sort of collapsible gallery, similar to table of contents that can be expanded or hidden. Sadly, no such code exists at the moment.

1.We should strive to be as high-quality as possible with images, especially if you want to add them to a gallery.

2.Character galleries should only include the most important parts of a character's appearance.

1. We actually have a rule for high-quality images, but it's not always possible for certain users to meet the criteria due to their limited resources.

2. Seconded

Like, only putting in images that feature the character that the gallery is made for. Right now, we're adding, like, every frame that the character appears in. Which seemed fine back in the early days of the show, when there weren't that many pics, but now that we're three seasons in, yeah, I agree we could use a gallery cleanup lol.

For example, doesn't feature Gumball (or any of the four characters pictured in it for that matter.) He's just sorta...there. For this reason, it doesn't belong in Gumball's gallery, IMO. It'd fit better in The Remote/Gallery. And is just a picture of a comic book o_o. Sure, Gumball's hands are in it, but does that necessarily mean we should put it in his gallery?

That's just my opinion, though.

We really should implement this.

Anyway, we should appoint some kind of standard/quality control for the character galleries. The amount of images is ludicrously large.

I'm feeling a bit ambivalent on putting a hardcap on images, since with new eps we get more appearances, therefore more images. A hardcap might mean we have to either replace old images that are deigned less important, or not add new images at all. Although, I might agree if we placed that cap on one section only (i.e. 100 images for season one, two, miscellanous, storyboard).

Unfortunately, we currently have only one image controller, and that person has been inactive for their "reasons."

I haven't stated that I want a hardcap; my suggestion of about 100 images in a gallery/section is just a suggestion. I don't actually want an exact maximum number of images. Although, I like your suggestion of a hardcap on sections rather than the whole gallery.
