Also, a "lightbox" feature may help - expand the image to the full size (as sent by the server) on click, then link to the file page upon a second click (hide the "lightbox" upon a click outside of the image borders). I am unsure how difficult this feature would be to add -- I have not dug around in MediaWiki's code before. Can someone point me in the right direction?
