Why on Earth would you WANT to look through a mandatory photo gallery on every page?

Perhaps more to the point, why would someone who found an article through a web search want to do that? As others have noted, a wiki is, at least ideally, a community-based encyclopedia. As such, it should be useful not just to its contributors, but to people who are interested in its topic, even if they had no idea it existed until Google gave them a link to it.
