Slideshow captions cover part of images
See: Portal:User:Timeshifter/Sandbox 18. Examples: slideshow, gallery, gallery in show-hide box. Look at the slideshow captions. Use the arrows on the right or left to move fast through the images. I would prefer that the captions never cover any part of the images. --Timeshifter 14:18, April 10, 2012 (UTC)

Slideshow extension?
I can't seem to find this exact slideshow format on mediawiki. Does it come from an extension I can get for my wiki?

When I preview the slider it appears, but when I publish the page, it isn't there.

Old revisions of files
Is it possible to embed old revisions of an uploaded file using the gallery tag, or more generally to include any images not currently uploaded to the wiki? 15:44, July 10, 2013 (UTC)

Past 4th image happens how?
The slider is nice, but does it only allow for 4 images? I can't seem to get the fifth image and beyond to show. Rauterkus (talk) 16:40, August 13, 2013 (UTC)

Adding videos to slideshows.
Add this to the feature, please.FortressMaximus &#35;2015YearofMecha (Talk) 16:54, June 28, 2015 (UTC)

Hello, I have a question. Can you expand a picture in a slideshow to make it taller/wider? I've added a picture to a slide show, but it is shorter compared to the others.

Although this is technically a good place to ask your question, I still recommend asking on the forums instead. More users will read your question there, and hopefully someone will be able to answer! Mira Laime (help forum | blog) 16:44, July 25, 2016 (UTC)

Gallery sometimes doesn't publish
Sometimes when I add photos to a gallery via the "add a photo" button, when I ask to save it doesn't publish until I after I edit it via full page edit, then it'll start publishing again. Ready to rock! (talk) 03:15, February 25, 2019 (UTC)
 * Hi, could you please submit a bug report to Fandom staff? (Special:Contact/bug on the wiki where it happens) --Sharkie 04:16, February 25, 2019 (UTC)
 * SOLVED: It isn't a bug! It was because my edit lock on the page timed out and cannot publish unless I reload it. --Ready to rock! (talk) 02:37, February 26, 2019 (UTC)

Randomize image order — shuffle the slideshow
Is there any way to make slideshows and/or sliders shuffle their content on page-open? —⁠andrybak (talk) 19:00, April 3, 2019 (UTC)

Sliders
Hi, every time I try to create a slider on a particular wiki, the title text comes up black so I can't see what is says. Can anyone help?

Gallery
Doesn’t work. Can’t even add a gallery.
 * Hey there, which wiki and page are you having problems on? Maybe I can help you out. (By the way it's easier to ask questions in the help forums). noreplyz  talk 04:15, July 25, 2019 (UTC)

Alt text question
Is there a reason alt text isn't supported in Wikia's implementation of galleries? I know they've diverged (though I also know they're trying to bring it up to 1.33, with all the possible changes that entails), but the gallery tag has supported alt text since before the version of Mediawiki Wikia is currently running, so I guess I was just curious about what makes Wikia's gallery architecture different. - Citrusellaeditswikis (talk) 16:52, October 26, 2019 (UTC)

Fandom Wiki pooped itself
Ever since Fandom wiki updated there have been so many problems, the gallery is only one of the many problems that should be fixed. The Gallery will sometimes just turn into a line of images (left is the wrong one, right is the correct one)

Removing the Top and Bottom Bars in the Video Files' Thumbnails
Since the UCP migration in 2020, I noticed that all video files uploaded have black bars on the top and the bottom sides of the thumbnails when used outside of the file page. I don't think it serves any purpose at all, and it is actually kinda unpleasant to see especially when the files were used next to other video files uploaded before UCP like this screenshot below: https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/d6b4ed7e-6b2b-42af-86a9-d5e4a071912e/scale-to-width-down/500#.png The shot were taken from a page on Webtoon Wiki. The one on the left is a video file uploaded in 2018 (before the UCP) while next to it is a video file uploaded in June 2021. Notice how unsymmetrical it looks having one video file appear normally while the other one having useless black bars on the top and bottom sides.

I would like to recommend Fandom to remove the bars and make the thumbnail appear just like how the pre-UCP videos look like.

For the time being, here is the CSS solution I got for the problem:

This would clip a portion of the thumbnails of every video released in the 2020s (2020-2029) in a way that it ends up appearing just like the ones from 2019 and before. However, there is a problem. The wikis were not migrated at the same time on January 1, meaning one needs to make another customization to make sure the thumbnails of video files uploaded in 2020 before the migration are not clipped as well, and this customization would be different across wikis.

For instance, Resident Evil Wiki were migrated to UCP around October 28, 2020 so here is the CSS I came up with to exclude the video files from January 1 to October 27, 2020 from getting affected by the previous code:

I tested it out using Personal CSS and here is how the result looks like in Special:NewFiles :

https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/4c1169c7-04c8-4985-80f3-218cd88352bc/scale-to-width-down/725#.png Before the customization

https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/627e41b1-bb5c-4849-a6a1-c4c80ebd5ecd/scale-to-width-down/725#.png After the customization

To conclude, I think Fandom should do something about the black bars and, while I may find a temporary solution for that, this solution is still not perfect enough as one would still need to manually specify a long pattern like that for a certain timeframe to make sure the thumbnails would be clipped correctly as the solution would be a bit different across wikis. --11:30, 25 June 2021 (UTC)
