Proposal
Kandy Katie is proposing the following:
Subgalleries are being phased out from the wiki. The main complaint about this was that they helped keep track of characters/objects/locations' different appearances in the show. Most users agree that galleries were more useful than appearance pages for this, since they showed screenshots of the specific scenes where something appears. On the other hand, appearance pages just list the episode title and a short description.
I propose that we add a fourth column to the Appearance template: Image, which is an image of the character/object/location's appearance in the episode.
For many Bikini Bottomite characters, they only appear in small background shots that are hard to keep track of. Their appearance lists usually say something vague like "Background" or "Appears at the Krusty Krab." Having an image will show exactly how and where that character or thing appears in the episode.
For a character like Squidward, his "Band Geeks" appearance would have any image of him from the episode. Since he plays a major role appears throughout the episode, all we need is one good representative scene of him leading the band.
Example for Sandals:
| Image | # | Episode | Role in episode |
|---|---|---|---|
| Season 2 | |||
 |
"Patty Hype" (tr • ga) | Debut; he is at the end of the line waiting for Pretty Patties. Mr. Krabs bumps into him. | |
 |
"The Smoking Peanut" (tr • ga) | He is seen at the zoo as part of the angry audience. He looks in awe when Clamu's baby hatches. | |
 |
"Graveyard Shift" (tr • ga) | He is a customer at the Krusty Krab. Squidward asks Sandals to hit him in the head with a baseball bat. | |
 |
"Squid on Strike" (tr • ga) | He walks by the Krusty Krab. SpongeBob encourages him to go to the "fun fair." | |
Example for Gary:
| Image | # | Episode | Role in episode |
|---|---|---|---|
| Season 1 | |||
 |
"Help Wanted" (tr • ga) | Debut, cameo. He meows when SpongeBob talks to him about the upcoming day. | |
 |
"Plankton!" (tr • ga) | Cameo; he is seen when SpongeBob is sleeping and when he gets out of bed. | |
 |
"Naughty Nautical Neighbors" (tr • ga) | Cameo; Gary hides in his shell while SpongeBob talks to himself in his house. | |
 |
"Boating School" (tr • ga) | He is seen in SpongeBob's room at the beginning and at night. He later brings SpongeBob's bike back to him, and they ride it together to the hospital. | |

- Oppose - I only see this as being a mess because of images constantly getting replaced and/or deleted. The gallery pages are already hard enough, don't make it worse. - Jensonk

It does seem like a good idea tho. IloGaming4 (M•C•E) 10:08, January 3, 2020 (UTC)

- Oppose - Probably introduce later, maybe after subgalleries are completely deleted. AFallenPower (Talk • Contributions) 07:46, January 4, 2020 (UTC)
- Oppose - It's hell already to select images to add to episode galleries, don't make us do more work. - <insert name here>, is that you? Mind Luxor (talk) 07:55, January 4, 2020 (UTC)
- Support - I’d support this on the condition that we don’t add images from leaked episodes and that we only add images from complete, HD galleries (or if we do, give thedistinguishable filenames so they won’t be overwritten). Scrooge200 (talk) 07:59, January 4, 2020 (UTC)
