A while back I spoke of my concerns about the galleries on Disney Wiki and suggested that we erase them all. However, after some reasonable belief that certain users won’t support it, I’ve come up with another suggestion. We place specific limits to the amount of images permitted to the Wiki. For a while I’ve had a dozen users asking me how many images they can put up, and all I’ve said in return only a few but no specific amount.

For the restriction to work, each section will have a different specific number to determine how many images will be permitted. This should help reduce the need to create external galleries, and keep users from uploading too many. As for the galleries that are already over the limits we shall need to erase a few. With character galleries for example, screenshots will be reduced to images specifically focused on the characters. Nothing focused on character groups, backgrounds, and so on. With Promotional images we shall remove posters and key art that look the same, but with slight alterations.

Screencaps
Here below is an example of how the limits will work. Note: I’m still figuring out the limits and have the other galleries to see to before I consider making this official.

Movie Galleries
 * Promotional Images: 50
 * Concept Art: 50
 * Screenshots: 100
 * Merchandise: 50

Character Galleries
 * Promotional Images: 50
 * Concept Art: 50
 * Films and Television: 50
 * Video Games: 20
 * Printed Media: 20
 * Theme Parks: 20
 * Merchandise: 50

Episode Galleries
 * Promotional Images: 30
 * Concept Art: 30
 * Screenshots: 30

We’re all going to need to have a good think about this because we cannot continue the way we are. I think that limiting the galleries would be better than what I originally considered. As I've said before we are running a Wiki and not a gallery site. Our top priority is information.
