Forum:Picture problem in category gallery

Hi!

I was wondering if there was any way to choose which image from a page is used for the small gallery view at the top of category pages, and if there is any way to control this choice? See for example. I would much rather it used the pictures of the actual creatures, but don't know how to do this.

Even if anybody has some more information about how the image-pulling system works, that would be really helpful.

Thank you! --Kyoo Moo 18:46, April 17, 2011 (UTC)


 * Not really - it tends to pick the first picture on the page, so you can suggest to it that you want a certain picture by putting it at the top of the page, but otherwise you can't control it. The picture doesn't have to be showing to get picked, however, so you can put it inside  if you don't want it to be the first thing users see.


 * Thanks for the help! Unfortunately though, that simple solution didn't work. Is there any way to make sure a particular image isn't picked? Something similar to the tag for templates... --Kyoo Moo 08:12, April 18, 2011 (UTC)
 * Nope, you can't do that. This is one of the reasons why most veteran users disable category galleries on their wikis - they're difficult or impossible to control, and they don't seem to add anything of benefit to the wiki anyway.
