Make galleries mandatory
According to the tutorial page in its current state, the gallery section is labeled as "optional", in spite of there being a lack of consensus regarding its status. I would like to hear a clear idea on what should be done with this status, as well as state my perspective on the section.
As for my stance on this, I think it should be required. A large group of people would visit these articles to take a look at the captures more so than the backgrounds (another section recently made mandatory) and even descriptions. They also hold a key component to an article's presentation (considering nearly ever page on the wiki have an image, video, or both), re-readability (again, readers may visit these articles solely to look at the captures), and even credibility. With the latter, no captures will raise its chances of being fake or even yet, users can write an article for a fake logo with a seemingly legitimate description and detailed sources, but refuse to provide captures to avoid it being clearly shown as fictious. Otherwise, no captures will force readers to do more work in finding these captures to see for themselves, raising the page's inconvenience.
If the gallery section should be mandatory, then how about either an image or video on their own would suffice. Some editors may lack the ability to capture an image or video, but embedding a YouTube video can still be done by them per the AVID:VIDEOS tutorial. If both, then maybe at least provide the source either as a hidden message URL or describe it in detail for where it can be found.

Support It's rather asinine how this got away as being an "optional" section. Glad someone caught on now. Compooper (talk) 13:37, 8 July 2024 (UTC)

Support Yes please! I like to see the actual pictures of the logos on the page! Kbcars123456 (talk) 22:03, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
Support for the additional advantage that it's a step towards proving the content is real when people have gone the trouble showing it. --raidarr (💬) 09:51, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
