Oh, yeah, that's a really good point to bring up. One of the bad things about the "file call method", for lack of a better term, is that it's really Oasis-centric. It did make things worse in Monobook by, as you correctly note, forcing you to go to not just the lightbox, but actually the file page itself. So it does force Monobook users to wholly leave the page. Which obviously sucks. But it is arguably "cleaner" for Oasis users.

So it's "between a rock and a hard place" time, really.
