When I go to that page and click an image, only the 8 images on that page are displayed in the lightbox.

edit: Oh, I clicked the arrows, I see what you mean.

I had always assumed that the lightbox was just "dumb" and was retrieving all of the images on the page - which happened to include those in the photos module - but it looks like the lightbox is intentionally retrieving newly uploaded files which aren't even on the page, which is... still dumb.

Here's how it's getting the images: http://runescape.wikia.com/wikia.php?controller=Lightbox&method=getThumbImages&count=30&format=json&inclusive=true&to=20150306101150

I second the request to remove those images from the lightbox, as they make the lightbox less relevant. I personally avoid using the lightbox, because when I want to browse the images on the page, I don't want to see unrelated images like that.

For now, I'm going to try adding *getThumbImages* to adblock. (Yep, that works perfectly.)
