The result of the debate was Adopt the proposed changes. Imperators II(Talk) 20:34, 14 August 2021 (UTC)

Currently, Wookieepedia:Images#Usage, second item reads: "Images may not be uploaded for use in an image gallery." However, while this truly reflects the community's lack of desire to maintain image galleries in articles (or elsewhere), there is a case where we do use image galleries, and that's for media galleries on articles for individual OOU works, such as cover galleries for novels and comic books and poster galleries for films. Wookieepedia:Layout Guide/Out-of-universe#Published_narrative_works, second bullet point under item eight ("Media") reads: "Articles on individual works such as novels include a cover gallery, if more than one cover exists."

I propose that we update the wording of Wookieepedia:Images#Usage, item 2 accordingly, specifically from:

"Images may not be uploaded for use in an image gallery."

to:

"Images may not be uploaded for use in an image gallery, with the exception of media galleries on articles for individual out-of-universe works, as outlined in the Published narrative works subsection of the Layout Guide."
