452: hopefully they won't get rid of it by then... I mean, right now they aren't touching it, but they can always say: We are changing things, so change your wikis to not have issues later.

Hedgeg: my issue with scrolling was that the new gallery takes more space to show less images. Like for gallery with 10 images, the gallery will cover 600px of height space. While for the same amount of images, the new gallery will cover them for 900px height space. So for 50 images, you will scroll more in the new gallery, than you will scroll in the old.

"so either don't create such a pointless galleries or look for a way to limit their size." why? Everything was perfect, now I must not make galleries with 2 images, because it becomes an issue... I can create a gallery with a single image if I want and it shouldn't take my whole screen for that... The old gallery doesn't, which means it serves me better with better functions -> then it's a better gallery.

Yeah and I still think the old squares is better than the new squares. It doesn't take 900px of height to showcase 10 images, but only 600 at max. It also have more features and options for customization, while the new one don't. That makes it better.
