No I totally disagree, if there are many images organized in a 
gallery then the gallery should already be linked to a category. I 
have been busy taking these duplicated images out of Categories and 
leaving them in the article galleries. It's would be the same as that 
User who created 1000's of species categories with all the photos 
duplicated in the category that were already in the individual 
galleries, Way too much duplication. Magnus and others have that 
great tool for showing galleries and categories on the screen and 
some photos are in up to 6 or 7 different categories and galleries, 
simplification is the best way. [[User:WayneRay]]
