Line 32:

:A "random" or overuse of galleries is defined by link that is being added as " Generally, a gallery should not be added so long as there is space for images to be effectively presented adjacent to text. Gallery images must collectively add to the reader's understanding of the subject; avoid similar or repetitive images unless a point of contrast or comparison is being made". Why not link the second biggest problem we encounter.? The other problem we encounter is images that give to much prominence to minor topics as per [[WP:DUE]] "Undue weight can be given in several ways, including but not limited to depth of detail, quantity of text, prominence of placement, juxtaposition of statements and '''imagery'''. This is also covered at [[MOS:IMAGERELEVANCE]] "Images must be significant and relevant in the topic's context". So why omit - the page is to help those that are having problems?--[[User:Moxy|Moxy]] ([[User talk:Moxy|talk]]) 13:46, 24 August 2018 (UTC)

::Yes, galleries get overused. It's the word "[[wikt:random#Adjective|random]]" that is totally unhelpful: it doesn't appear in the guidance for a reason, because it doesn'thas meanway whattoo you'remany meanings, none of tryingwhich toapply sayhere. I've kept the link to [[WP:GALLERY]] with text that makes sense. And again, [[MOS:IMAGERELEVANCE]] is already linked here, in the bullet "Don't add images that are not relevant." It doesn't warrant more than one bullet. —[[User:Swpb|<u>swpb</u>]]^{[[User talk:Swpb|''T'']] [[Wikipedia:Beyond civility|go beyond]]} 14:06, 24 August 2018 (UTC)
