 * Delete per duplicity. Krenakarore  TK 11:56, 16 March 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete. Redundant.  The more general Gallery template does everything that Image gallery does, and more.  Can a 'bot handle the conversion?  I see that the Image gallery template has already been marked as deprecated and users are being directed to use Gallery instead.  Actually, I don't like either template, as they use nested frames, waste screen space and look unnecessarily busy; I prefer using  tag pairs instead in most instances. &mdash; QuicksilverT @ 04:12, 16 March 2012 (UTC)

 * Do not subst much as reducing the number of Infobox templates is generally a good thing (unlike miscellaneous templates where it's generally a waste of time), better to have a one user than a subst'd infobox. Rich Farmbrough, 15:12, 19 March 2012 (UTC).
