A little bit of lenience can be given to a 'Miscellaneous' section, provided there are images which need a dedicated section that isn't already covered by sections that are present. For instance, The [[Gallery:New Super Mario Bros. 2|New Super Mario Bros. 2 Gallery]] has sections for official wallpapers and Facebook covers, as well as Swapnote stationery. These can both be placed as subsections under a 'Miscellaneous' heading.
