Alright, I just want to highlight a newish rule that some people might not be aware of.

'''Do not add unnecessary meme and fanart images to the gallery. '''This clutters the gallery, and makes it more cumbersome to use efficiently.

However, if you want to add images to your user page or in a comment or something, just post an external link to the image, and the wiki will show the image where you have placed it.

Example: 

https://i.imgur.com/TeM1F8G.jpg

See, I didn't actually upload the image to wikia. I merely inserted an imgur link, and the wiki automatically displayed the picture.

Also, on a lot of the user pages, there's something that says "Add Image," and a lot of people are inclined to use that. Don't. I removed it from the profile page template, but for pre-existing users, it should still be there. By using that, the image you add gets added to the gallery, which is what I want to avoid. Don't use that template to add pictures: just post links.

Thank you.
