Talk:Mikaela Hyakuya/Image Gallery

I can't edit this gallery, is this just temporally? アノニマス (talk) 14:19, January 2, 2019 (UTC)

Never mind, I understand now. I need to learn to read lol. アノニマス (talk) 14:32, January 2, 2019 (UTC)

Introductory text looks fine above the table of contents, and helps people know which images they can find. It's mostly because text and links are important to add to image gallery pages to help with SEO. S3r0-Ph1i (talk) 19:44, December 2, 2019 (UTC)

But... viewers aren't children. What's the point of repeating info they already know? Or letting them find out themselves by looking through the gallery (like they're meant to)? And the whole text and link thing can easily be solved by image descriptions. Anonymous-wow (talk) 20:48, December 2, 2019 (UTC)

On Mika’s article, for example, there is the lede, an introductory area for the whole article, the same with chapter pages, indeed every article. Yes it states the obvious, people can check the table of contents, and of course view the article to see what is there, but so often it’s the beginning text at the top that people will view first.

For this image gallery page, specifying that suitable infobox images are in the “Appearance” section, that this page has Mika on promotional images, magazine covers, DVD artwork and the other specific areas he is in covers what isn’t said in the contents box. This could help readers who may want to know if they can find what they are looking for on this page at a glance, rather than scrolling down through quite a detailed article, especially considering different screen sizes.

The image descriptions are ideal, but the more text and links on image gallery pages the better. Adding an explanation of what can be found on the gallery page, also for consistency with every other article that also have introductions at the top seemed a good idea.
