Some things that should be excluded: - things that don't really belong to the article content (such as maintenance templates, icons in signatures on a talk page) - things that belong to the article but are technically too tricky to work with MediaViewer (e.g. various CSS map hacks) - things that belong to the article but MediaViewer does not offer a good user experience for them (some people suggested very small images) One option could be to leave the details to each wiki community, e.g. read a jQuery selector from a MediaWiki page or a JS variable, or even use a hook.
