Hi, guys! So P&Ffan and I have been discussing about the gallery links lately. He suggested to me a template that he uses on one of his own wikis that shows a picture from the gallery with a link to the gallery on the main page. You can see an example of it at Astrid and Hiccup's relationship. I thought it was really cool so I let him use it. Then another user suggested to put a link to the gallery in our infoboxes, at least the pages that have them, and I kind of liked that idea so I took a couple copies of the character infobox and tried it out. Here are the results:

So in here (at the bottom), I put both of the ideas together, using the template in the infobox with a picture of a direct link to the gallery with the caption below it.

Here, I used the coding that we use for the size photos on the dragon infobox and put an extra section for the caption below it. For some reason, it wouldn't let me create another image section with the caption using the image coding for it, so I had to make a separate one. I'll see if I can get more help with that later.

All in all, here's a screenshot example of each one of these.



I think the one I like the most is example 2, with the template in the infobox, but I am fine with either one. This should be a community decision, so I would like you all to state which one you like better and maybe even why a little bit in the comments below. And maybe other suggestions you might have? I'll leave this open for a week, and the one voted on the most at the end will be what we do and I hope everyone who votes can help with that. Until then, I ask that we do no more gallery pages until a decision is met and final.

Note: If one of the two infobox choices are chosen, we will still be using the Galleries template on pages that don't have infoboxes, like Astrid and Hiccup's relationship, though I could create an infobox for those kind of pages as well, and would need suggestions on what to title the sections for it. I will also update all of the other infoboxes with pages of galleries as well if the gallery in the infobox is mostly chosen.

So please vote with all of your opinions!
