Image populating of the Gallery Master List

[Barbarella]

I know one of the big complaints of FemBotWiki was the avalanche of random screenshots, sometimes over 50, that covered TV shows and movies for their "master list". Here's what the plans are for our master list, which is now well over 300 titles.

I will not be flooding the master list galleries, and therefore the main front gallery, with dozens of screenshots for every single TV show and movie. Instead, the screenshots will be targeted and grabbed at specific scenes, whether it's a malfunction scene, damage scene, essentially something which is relevant to the show and shows the main subject of the show. Each TV Show/Movie will have a MAXIMUM of 10 screenshots each, and there will be no more than 2 shows/movies to have screenshots uploaded in any 24-hour period. Also, no master list screenshot uploads will happen during the weekend...at all..

That way, community users who generally tend to upload more on the weekends will have their images featured on the front page for longer. The front page of the gallery will also be altered to show double the thumbnails of latest videos and images than it currently shows.

Excellent Idea Barb!! It gives our new community group hang out a different look than Fembot Central. Keep doing the great work leading the new charge.

After I had given away FembotWiki, I learned that certain user accounts can be designated as "bot" accounts, which is useful in MediaWiki software for automatically hiding "bot" activity from recent changes and recent uploads. If those many hundreds of screenshots had been uploaded by a person using a designated bot account, then they wouldn't have shown up in the recent images gallery.

I don't know if the software you're using for the gallery has this kind of functionality, but being able to hide certain uploads from the gallery might be worth checking out.
