:Ofcourse. We all have to be on one line for things to happen, so we'll discuss until that is settled. As for what I meant, I thought it was better to create a mockup then try to explain it. [http://i.minus.com/ibaZtTbHIN7x01.jpg This] is what I meant for the media gallery, or atleast, something close to that. So they don't necessarily have to be the same size. As for the additional video links, if we have Javascript/PHP support, that can be easily settled. Though we might have to create a location where people could contribute their videos to. - [[User:Garteal|Garteal]] ([[User talk:Garteal|talk]]) 12:48, 11 November 2012 (CET)

=== Standards and the unified Media Gallery ===
Ok, I've just finished my work with the [[Template:VideoGallery|video gallery template]] and I'm trying now to set the final standard for the Media Gallery. My suggestion:
* Every page have a section named "Media Gallery"
* In this section, by using the [[Template:VideoGallery|video gallery template]], 3 videos will be randomly selected and displayed as the first three thumbnails (if the game page have less than 4 videos, the videos should be included with the normal [[Template:YouTube|YouTube template]], as using the [[Template:VideoGallery|video gallery template]] will have no utility with less than 4 videos)
* After the first 3 videos thumbnails, we'll have countless screenshots included through the [[Template:Image|Image template]]
* By using these templates, we make sure that all thumbnails (both images and videos) have the fixed size of 300px.
* If the game page have more than 3 videos (and use the [[Template:VideoGallery|video gallery template]]), after the Media Gallery section we'll have another section named "More Videos" with links for the another videos.
* At least in my desktop, running at 1440x900 this isn't an issue, but if necessary, add a  <code>&lt;div style="clear:left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</code>  after the first 3 videos thumbnails to fix any issue we could have with the floating elements in computers with higher desktop resolutions...
Take a look at [[Template:VideoGallery/test]], is the SSBB page using the standard I'm suggesting. It's already using the random thumbnails feature, but if you guys want to see another example in how the [[Template:VideoGallery|video gallery template]] works, take a look at [[Xenoblade Chronicles]]. Well, what do you guys think about this standard? I think we can already start using it. - [[User:Jhonn|Jhonn]] ([[User talk:Jhonn|talk]])
