These are really two different discussions, so to address each individually:

1. I was really against having fanart on the wiki in the past, but we can't really avoid the fact that there are a lot of characters that have not been, and probably never will, be illustrated fully in anything other than fanart. And given that this fanart is done by someone who is actually doing illustrations for the series, it is reliable, at least to some extent, that this is what they look like.

So, perhaps it would be prudent to have an illustrator fanart tab, with very specific constraints to keep it from becoming "look Ichika did another chibi Riliane and Allen doodle" again. Like keeping it limited in number like the other tabs, specifying it has to be by an official illustrator, and perhaps also limiting it to work done in a promotional/concept art capacity (like, Ichika has been doing a lot of Lich/Seth/Ron/etc artwork in the wake of Outlaw & Lychgate, which features those characters heavily. Similarly, when Judgment came out she did a decent amount of fanart on PN, which is where Feng's current character image comes from).

I also think that we should not post comics on here, unless it's in the usual "cropped, single image from the comic" capacity.

2. I really don't see making a separate gallery tab as being necessary. Our galleries do not serve the same purpose as those wiki galleries--ours are there to give people a rough indication of what the character looks like and how they appear in various Evillious media, and what official content has done with them. This only requires a few examples per tab. Those galleries look to be mostly massive collections on every expression, piece of art, or other visual content that includes the character in question. Turning Evillious' galleries into those feels extremely unnecessary, because they both serve different functions on the wiki. We have also had issues on the topic of tabbing pages in the past, such as whether or not it works on mobile or if anyone actually has the coding knowledge to carry it out. I'm not sure if those were ever definitively resolved.

I do think we need album tabs, yes. This feels like an oversight.
