Idea 1: A tool that downloads the image, rotates it and uploads it either under the username of the one who called it or by its own username.
Doable, but requires java, flash or activex on the user's side. JavaScript uploading is impossible for binary data :(
Idea 2: A bot which does that. You can call the bot by {{rotate|right}} or {{rotate|left}}
Doable.
Idea 3: Do it within MediaWiki. We use [[ImageMagick]] for generating thumbnails of images, but it can do many other things too, including rotating images. It would certainly be possible to set up an interface to do this. It would be one of the more resource intensive types of requests though, so the devs might have something to say about such a scheme.
My preference. Is there no such extension?
