Cartilaginous fishes

I was looking for featured pictures of cartilaginous fishes. Initially I looked in Commons:Featured pictures/Animals, which has none. I now found out that these pictures are hidden in Commons:Featured_pictures/Animals/Fish #Class_:_Chondrichthyes_(Cartilaginous_Fishes). I wasn't looking there because Commons:Featured pictures deceptively describes that page as “Actinopterygii (Ray-finned fish)”. How should we resolve this?

• A: change Commons:Featured pictures to say “Vertebrata (Vertebrates)”.
• B: change Commons:Featured pictures to say “Gnathostomata (jawed vertebrates)”.
• C: change Commons:Featured pictures to say “Osteichthyes and Chondrichthyes (fish)”.
• D: change Commons:Featured pictures to say “Pisces (fish)”, which is what the gallery page itself says.
• E: move all cartilaginous fishes from that gallery to Commons:Featured pictures/Animals.

Pinging @Christian Ferrer: , @Daniel78: . If we change the description then I'll also consider changing the icon.

• @B jonas: At first view I think "D" is the better. Christian Ferrer ^(talk) 10:56, 11 November 2022 (UTC)

Hmm, this is a translated page, with the title for that page translated, so I'll have to be careful when editing it. – b_jonas 11:30, 18 November 2022 (UTC)

overflow

At least with my desktop some gallery pages seem to overflow. I have tried to fix it at Commons:Featured pictures/Astronomy by making the pictures smaller, but e.g. Commons:Featured pictures/Historical still has the problem. Proposals? Habitator terrae 🌍 11:32, 14 May 2023 (UTC)

Now I improved my fix by puting all pictures with a height-width ratio, which is higher than 5-2 into galleries with no height specified. I propose, that this is done with the other pages to, what do you think? Habitator terrae 🌍 11:53, 14 May 2023 (UTC)

cemeteries

Under category 8 or places, only "cemeteries" is not put through to translate segment. Can you fuzzy/pushing for translation please? FYI, the Translation Extension suggests en/ja translation is 100% finished, but actually not. Omotecho (talk) 13:50, 4 June 2023 (UTC)

Lithobates catesbeianus featured ?

Hi,

I see File:Lithobates catesbeianus PP.jpg is featured : there is the logo, and it is at Commons:Featured pictures/chronological. But if I look at Commons:Featured picture candidates/File:Lithobates catesbeianus PP.jpg, it is not featured. What is the good thing ?

Thanks. Touam (talk) 05:26, 15 August 2023 (UTC)
