It has been suggested by an anon user that the articles in this categories be moved to a different title page.

Gallery isn't a real namespace, so move them to disambiguation style pages or something like Dark Samus Gallery

I'm going to have to agree here, I never really liked the "Gallery: Samus Aran" sort of naming convention. Gallery: can be made a namespace easily, but I simply don't like the way it looks. It really wouldn't be practical to have large galleries as those in the actual articles as well, especially if we try to get as many good pics in the galleries. I also don't like the idea of subpages, Samus Aran/gallery doesn't look to great if you ask me --Malake256 {Talk | Contribs} 23:51, 30 June 2011 (UTC)Reply[reply]

This is another convention carried over from Zelda Wiki. While I honestly don't mind it, it definitely can be improved from using the current fake namespace that is does right now. I really don't have any idea just how to give them better names. MKMetroid mf Sprite.gif 00:23, 1 July 2011 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I'm going to bump this discussion now. Gallery is a perfectly common namespace for Gallery pages that are separate, and it's easy to find Gallery pages in this namespace. It doesn't have any drawbacks I know of. I also don't see any drawbacks to having them on subpages, aside from a more cluttered search bar, but there isn't any data-related drawback to that that I know of. Having them on a completely different page like "Dark Samus Gallery" is unprofessional, and doesn't really improve anything.

I'm going to agree with Bop1996 here. I'm used to having the Gallery namespace (it's my ZW upbringing), I'll echo the pros above. Subpages are another possibility. But having a non namespace or subpage article for a gallery is misleading. So yeah, I'm basically just agreeing with the comment above. :P Embyr 75  --Talk-- 23:58, 3 December 2011 (UTC)Reply[reply]
