To add on to 452's list of oversights: If a wiki has made any effort to organize its images, say by categorizing them according to their subject or origin, then that organization becomes largely useless to readers who aren't logged in. See for instance the convenient link provided at w:c:harrypotter:Harry_Potter, which sends readers to a category of 2,898 images of the Harry Potter character. How are readers supposed to take advantage of this? As of last November, the thumbnails within the category are so small as to be worthless, and now readers potentially need to scour the dozens of articles that they're redirected to just to see what the tiny thumbnails are supposed to be of. It's actually the images that aren't used in any articles that are the easiest to access, because those are at least opened in a lightbox on the main page (example).

Some way of overriding the redirection would be appreciated, or if not that then force all image redirects to open in a lightbox, even those displayed in content pages.
