Forum:Category display

Is there a way to alter the way page suggestions are displayed on category pages? See here. On this page, those characters who have an image in the character template show the image, which is fine. But those that don't have an image (beyond the flag image that are on most of our characters) show part of the template in the suggestion as well as a hatlink if the page has one. This didn't show up yesterday, so maybe this was a change in today's update. It isn't a huge deal, but it does look odd. 11:56, November 28, 2012 (UTC)
 * I believe it has been this way all along, and also occurs in the "read more" section at the bottom of articles. I do not know of a way to fix either problem, other than to add an image to each article or to add __NOCATEGORYGALLERY__ to the category to remove the gallery altogether.
 * It would be great if wikia would add some kind of "no image" default placeholder for when an article doesn't have an image, instead of displaying text. I guess one thing you could do is create a "no image" image yourself, and use it as a placeholder on all of those articles. -452 16:58, November 28, 2012 (UTC)


 * The Magic Word is, you may be thinking of   which is Wikia specific for the Exhibition optional feature. Also, there already is a placeholder image, but it is only triggered for images that the server can't display. If the first image in the article is a link to an image that is off-site like:   then the Gallery code will choke and display a placeholder icon instead. You could create a template that does something like:   which will trip this behaviour for you.

 * Ah, that's curious, because NOCATEGORYGALLERY does suppress the category gallery. Thanks for the info though, I'll start using NOGALLERY instead.  And that's an cool trick for the placeholder image, I'll have to start using that. -452  23:28, November 29, 2012 (UTC)
 * I just tried NOGALLERY and it doesn't work. -452 23:43, November 29, 2012 (UTC)
 * That magic word is MW core and disables thumbnails display for categorized images.--PedroM 23:57, November 29, 2012 (UTC)


 * I've found that it works on and off. I suppose the normal gallery is a Wikia modification as well so NOCATEGORYGALLERY is the correct solution to that. I know the placeholder thing works though because I set that off by accident by using Commons' images in Amboxes, if a page contained no images other than the Ambox then it was showing placeholder icons in the category pages.
