Forum:Allies Sections on Group Galleries

Given the long and messy discussion that's happened on Template talk:Ninja-Pirate-Mink-Samurai Alliance Gallery, as well as other various edit disputes, I feel this is an issue that should directly be addressed through a forum.

Many gallery templates for groups in the series, from pirate crews to families, have an "allies" section, however I often feel that the term "allies" is used rather loosely at times. In the Straw Hat Pirates gallery, it's been decided to include only groups that they formed an official alliance with out of necessity; however, in other group galleries, people frequently add people that a group has worked with at some point, or friends of the group. I feel like, to best streamline galleries and prevent edit wars over who's included, that we stick to the "Straw Hat model" for all galleries, and only include people and groups that the group has officially formed an alliance pact with.

By saying that, I specifically mean:
 * No informal team-ups
 * In the case of family galleries, an alliance should only be added if either every known member of the family is in the alliance, or there is a clearly defined leader of the family (such as Momonosuke or Big Mom) who officially forms the alliance. A group that teams up with a random family member shouldn't go on the family gallery, and if a random family member forms an alliance with someone, they, not their family, should go on the group's gallery as an ally.
 * If the group in question is itself an alliance, like the Ninja-Pirate-Mink-Samurai Alliance, then only people who join the alliance to take part in their goal should be included. Not people who informally team up with an alliance member or members for unrelated purposes in the process.
