I was recently working with the image galleries of character pages, and I noted that currently those galleries are just used to put every image of a character uploaded to the Wiki. The result is that a large majority of them contain repetitive images; images where the character is doing nothing; or where the character in question is at the background, overshadowed by other characters.

Examples can be seen in the galleries of Eren, where the first two images are just Eren smiling; Mikasa, where the first 3 are practically the same; Braun, where the whole gallery is repetitive and literally are just images of his face and a hand; Jean, which contains an image where Mikasa takes almost the entire picture and Jean is barely visible; Isabel, in where three of the images are just her saluting; and many, many etceteras.

This situation seems like a nonsense to me. Additional to serving mostly as a repository of repetitive and/or irrelevant pictures, they require more work; and are just performing a duplicate function, since those images are already classified by categories called "Images of [X character]" (for example, Images of Eren Yeager), which are shamefully abandoned despite being much better and easier to use for classification.

I think the purpose of the image galleries should be to show the better images of the character, in which they look different or are doing something remarkable, not just smiling or standing around.

For these reasons, I propose the following:


 * Add the "Images of [X character]" categories to every image where a character appears.
 * Only add to galleries images where a character looks different or is doing something remarkable.
 * I built a template called viewmore that generates a visible link to the category of images of that character and that can be placed at the bottom of every gallery page. This can be used to connect the galleries with all the other images. A testing can be seen in the gallery of Flagon.
 * For characters for whom we don't have enough images to build a decent gallery (an example may be Anka, whose gallery is composed only by pictures of her standing around), instead of creating a useless gallery page, we could create a new section in the same article called "Gallery" with a link to the category, like:
 * ==Gallery==


 * Category: Images of Anka Rheinberger

Please tell me what do you think about this proposal.
