The page is actually a gallery page, but it is under the "File:" namespace. Galleries should not be added to pages in the "File" domain. AbdealiJK (talk) 02:11, 4 May 2016 (UTC)
- Oh sorry I never knew that - I just had previously seen the same thing done many times so assumed it was correct. Is there a wiki page which says this? I don't really see the harm though. In that case I also need to delete a whole load of other galleries like this... Where should I move them to? Thanks. Domdomegg (talk) 07:42, 4 May 2016 (UTC)
- Having looked around it seems they are supposed to be at https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:Other_versions/{SERIES NAME HERE} - but do you know if this is correct because it will waste a lot of time if it isn't. Domdomegg (talk) 08:00, 4 May 2016 (UTC)
- Hey, I'm fairly new to wikimedia too so not quite sure about how to do that. I spoke to User:John_Vandenberg on IRC, and he suggested creating the page in the User: Namespace. So you can make something under https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Domdomegg like https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Domdomegg/Schalow%27s_turaco_at_Birdworld_(Series) and use that instead. A better idea would be to get on IRC #wikimedia-commons and ask there. AbdealiJK (talk) 16:46, 7 May 2016 (UTC)
- Looking around a bit more, I found https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Eigth_avenue_(NYPL_Hades-1926539-1954759).jpg whcih uses the <gallery> tag inside the other_versions. Which according to it's documentation is allowed link
