So, commons has done it locally for years. Which languages it included is
another, it was highly visible for many users.

When coming down to pref vs. gadget, then this should be a pref. The main point
is, this should not be a pref. Nobody should even want to care about this, and
I am sure that if nobody points it out, nobody will notice. Its just part of
the interface. Hiding every single thing that some users may not need at some
points in time through a preference is crazy.

That's not to say it can't be discussed. Feel free to provide rational reasons
why it should not be displayed (ideally reasons that real users have expressed
on Commons that didn't want the image in the preview).
