Well, I've given it thought and experimented with the new section on my sandbox more and am leaning towards it. I loved the gallery when it was just songs, but I am not liking it as much now that we are trying to include all featured in media. It doesn't look good with the overall page.

Well, including myself, that's 4 in favor of the new section and related changes and 4 against it. Taking everyone's feedback in account, I am going to have to side with the former. To compensate for the loss of our appearance sub-section in character traits, we'll expand the personality and skills ones into full sections:


 * Personality and Traits


 * Skills and Abilities

The expanded sections can go more in-depth to character personalities and all their quirks, similar to what I and others have done with blogposts to analyze characters. Skills and abilities should also expand fully on these things. This also brings a few more possible changes or additions to the wiki in the not so far future.

As for the section itself, the following format will be used:


 * All sub-text will be in small font


 * We will order everything as songs > books > albums


 * Songs will be ordered via our standard for galleries (so OSS > SDS (chronological order) > CL > EotF) followed by all other independent songs in chronological order


 * Books will be ordered by book series release date then the order of each book's release


 * Albums will go by album release date


 * Sub-texts will be absent for when a character simply appears in any media:


 * "mentioned only" will be used when a character is mentioned but doesn't physically appear in the media


 * "first appearance" and "first mentioned" will be used for when this occurs first (when a character's first mention is their first appearance, use the latter)


 * "indirect mention only" will be used when a character is referenced but never called out by name (such as "I once knew someone" instead of "I once knew the Chef before I ate him")

^ This along with future infobox changes and planned image policy changes should coincide quite nicely.
