Well, I think that for minor characters that only have few images we could be more flexible. I still don't see any point in doing that, since even if a gallery has 8 or 2 pictures, for me it's the same if 6 of them aren't adding anything new.

However, for major characters I'd rather be more selective. Yet another example is seen Levi's gallery, where there are several pictures that are just close-ups of him while he's talking. The purpose of a gallery should be to show something, and those images aren't really showing anything.

So the images to be removed from galleries probably would be:


 * Different versions of the same image, or images of the same scene. In these cases we just pick one.
 * Images that aren't really showing anything or adding anything new.
 * For minor characters that only have a few images, we could be more flexible in this specific point.

Points 3 and 4 of the original proposal are discarded, so I have deleted the viewmore template and removed it from Flagon's gallery.

Regarding the infobox characters, now that I see closely I think the only real problem would be Heath's image. All the other pictures could fit in a square shape, but I don't know if actually exists a picture of him suitable for those dimensions. Though even if that's the case, I could apply the automatic cutting for all infoboxes and just make an exception for him. In that way, instead of changing all images, we could focus only in replacing the ones that didn't adjust very well.

I must clarify that this "automatic cutting" is just at a visual level; the original files aren't modified, so even if those images are used in other articles, that won't be a problem.

I haven't noted the new resizing of the articles, maybe because I have a poor screen resolution of 1280x800. :P But I guess that for large screens that would be bothersome. Though that could be easily solved, I just need to check what styles were changed and override them.

Another thing that I did note was that the pages are no longer adaptable for mobile devices. If I try to read the Wiki from my phone using the Desktop view mode, it only shows the left half of the page, and I can't resize the page to see the whole text or scroll, so now they are totally impossible to read unless I use the awful mobile version. e_e

For now I tried to remove the social buttons, since they are almost invisible and useless, and to see if that solved in part the problem of the blank spaces; but for some reason they are still there, and all the other Wikias that I visited also have them, so likely the are now added automatically. (¬_¬)!!!

However, that's not much problem so I just hid them. Take that, Wikia! :-D
