@Cqm:

The image tag can't currently be nested inside the data attribute. So that would require some changes. It is also confusing because one would need to know if the data is parsed as an image or text. What about people who mistakingly mix text, audio, and images?

How exactly would it parse that data?

Beyond that, your syntax suggestion wouldn't cover a label for each tab and its caption. Perhaps this could be as simple as :


 * image-1 = File:example.png, my-caption, my-tab-label

The problem with that is that MediaWiki allows special "nonsensical" characters in files or pages, so if the filename or the caption has a comma as a delimiter, it wouldn't parse properly. Putting it inside a construct like gallery or tabber overcomes this problem, perhaps that's why they used it.

I'm not sure they want to support tabbed text or other media. This may perhaps make the infobox too complicated and hard to edit or create using a VE Gui tool.
