We do not have a real way to catalog images. That is the real issue here.

Some bullets and points comparing categories and galleries:

[[Category:foo]] while adding other info anyway
Currently categories are sorted by doing [[category:foo|sortkey]]. What if when you added the sort key, it would auto-appear as the caption in the magic category galleries. for example:
putting [[category:cat|My cat Mr. Twinkles]] on the image of mr teinkles, the images on that category would have: ________ | | | pict of | | cat | |________| |My cat Mr| | Twinkles|
instead of no caption at all.
Also wouldn't it make more sense to have some sort of parserFunction like {{#UnusedImageFromCat: category:foo}} that displays the non-used images so then the gallery could be made to fit around the non-used images with appropriate headings edited in, rather then it automatically just thrown at the bottom with a one size fits all for how it is displayed?
