Proposal to add always a Gallery category to a gallery page

Proposal: change 4. Categories

Current text: "Every gallery should be categorized. Add the gallery to the category with the same name, or if there is none, to relevant categories (see Commons:Categories)."

Change to: "Every gallery should be categorized. Add the gallery to at least two categories:

1. with the same name, or if there is none, to relevant categories (see Commons:Categories)

2. at least one subcategory of Category:Gallery pages."

Reason/problem: There are a lot of gallery pages without such a gallery category, it would not surprise me when there are more than a thousand. That makes it hard to find them if you do not know the exact name or when you just want to browse gallery pages. JopkeB (talk) 15:24, 25 August 2024 (UTC)

 Support — I also face problems finding gallery pages related to India due to the lack of dedicated gallery categories. I always try to categorize existing gallery pages to dedicated categories. Sbb1413 (he) (talk • contribs • uploads) 16:48, 25 August 2024 (UTC)
