Issue #1
We shouldn't use a slideshow when it completely consists of photos and its short description.
- Vyacheslav B.
- It does say so in IV rules.
But it is the way original article was formatted, should this rule really apply here?

EXCEPTION! Slideshows must not be used:
Unrelated images end up collected in the slideshow (e.g. an illustration and a disclaimer).
When the article consists entirely of a slideshow (and its caption/description) and there's no other content.
When the article uses images/videos/GIFs with captions as the main medium (e.g.: travel blogs that show many photos with captions, step-by-step crafting guides, cooking recipes, etc.).

- Hi!
I agree with the decision, but would like to clarify some things.
The issue here is "When the article consists entirely of a slideshow (and its caption/description) and there's no other content.", correct?
1) Slideshow description should always be a single paragraph or i can decide based on body length?
Talking about something like this:

Like can i leave slideshow as is if article body is more then 600 symbols.
2) May i move description to top? To not have it after all 20 images like other IV authors do.

- You can decide based on body length. You can also consider that page is in the photo category ("Фотогалереи") that means the gallery is a main content.
It's acceptable to move text to the top in this case.
- Type of issue
- IV page is missing essential content
