New image galleries significantly hinder images here. Wikia said somewhere that it will only be in Labs, and that it won't be a global change. However, I'm not sure whether they're going to stick to it. Sounds like they aren't. The fact that captions are cut off and you have to deliberately mouse over image is a big pain, and also (to a certain extent) hinders the usability of Nitrome Wiki.

No longer can you just read, you have to manually mouse over images. Another thing, why force images into small boxes? That doesn't do anyone good and forces people to click it. Take the Icebreaker: A Viking Voyage/Beta elements page, this page becomes hard to even read because of this galleries.

And none in collapsible boxes? How are we going to spoiler-hide them? Though they will likely fix this. And you have to click to view more images? Seriously? Overall, Wikia galleries are just a step in the wrong direction.
