::::::So the solution, of course, is to delete the galleries for these icons and have anyone interested use a category instead? I really don't understand how you're having such trouble looking at the pretty neatly organised galleries of these we currently have - if it's really just because you don't like seeing lots of similar images for some reason, that doesn't feel like the wiki's problem anymore. Again, we're presenting the information as it is in official material, you not liking official material is not the wiki's fault and not much of a reason for us to hinder our coverage of it (which happens to be the very same principle behind long-observed policies like [[MarioWiki:Canonicity]]). {{User:Hewer/sig}} 03:18, May 14, 2024 (EDT) | ::::::So the solution, of course, is to delete the galleries for these icons and have anyone interested use a category instead?

:::::::Moreover, the claim that they’re disorganized is, if I may, kinda dishonest. They’re placed under a “Course icons” heading, separate from “Screenshots”. If they weren’t thoughtfully organized they’d all just share the same section, much like a category handles things. {{User:Koopa con Carne/Sig}} 03:54, May 14, 2024 (EDT) | :::::::Moreover, the claim that they’re disorganized is, if I may, kinda dishonest.

::::::::{{@|Hewer}} please do not put words in my mouth or project intent. I was highlighting that there seems to be competing editorial philosophies at play on galleries, and gently suggesting that if the icons were ultimately to stay where they are, it would beneficial for them to be subdivided further into more digestible gallery headings. At present they are difficult to navigate. This is also what I was trying to get at, {{@|Koopa con Carne}}. I know the icons were objectively organized in some manor because another human being put them there with intent. However, their near-identical appearances and volume make them "feel" disorganized, just like a category. I would be surprised if I was in the minority. - [[User:Nintendo101|Nintendo101]] ([[User talk:Nintendo101|talk]]) 08:14, May 14, 2024 (EDT) | ::::::::{{@|Hewer}} please do not put words in my mouth or project intent.

Had an idea. What are y'all — on both sides here — y'all's thoughts on making an article {{fake link|List of course icons in ''Mario Kart Tour''}}, or maybe {{fake link|Gallery:''Mario Kart Tour''/Course icons}} or something, which could have subheaders for all the courses, maybe even the different variants of the courses. Then, we can easily stick a "see also" template into those gallery sections, linked to the section on that course in that article, and can trim down the images to put less of a strain on bandwidth.
