Wow, I actually had a thought about this just recently! I am noticing the gallery pages for some of the characters are getting pretty big, so I think this would be a sensible idea to implement.

I agree that we could still have the "Character design galleries" on the character's main page. Personally, I'd like for it to remain a subsection of the Appearance section due to the strong thematic connection between the two.

There's another thought I've been having about galleries. In light of how we've generally been handling them, it's usually made sense for galleries to not contain every single image of the character (or screenshot of a game, etc.) that's uploaded on the Wiki because that would be overkill. (For example, we don't put every single screenshot which contains a character on that character's page, and when we post additional screenshots on individual activity pages to showcase different difficulty levels, those generally don't make it onto the game's page.) However, the thought has occurred to me that maybe we should have a way for users to be able to access every single image that contains a certain character, or which is a screenshot of a certain game, even if not all the images are important enough to be put in the Gallery of that character or game. Maybe now that some Galleries are on their own pages, we can use them for every image - though at the same time, if we do choose to do that, I think they should be carefully divided up into categories, much as the Around the World gallery already is, so that users don't get swamped with a bunch of images they don't want to look at. Another possibility is that we should put the images themselves into categories. I don't know if I have a clear idea of what to do, I'm just throwing out some thoughts.

Anyway, the upshot is, this is a good idea, and I think we should keep the conversation going about how we handle images and galleries on the Wiki, in case there's anything else we could improve! Hopefully, I'll find more opportunities to work on the Wiki, too.
