This isn't so much a mediawiki question as a system admin question. But the first
question is, why do you consider the permissions inadequate? The only difference is that
some of the files are executable - which is unnecessary for image files.
It's possible to change the default permissions for a file any user creates with the
umask command but, again, from the data given, there is no reason to believe there is
actually a problem with the permissions.

Also, new images seem to get other permissions:

/var/www/wiki/images/thumb$ ls -lisa

How is it, that MediaWiki specifies the wrong permissions? Where can I
control it? What is the cause?
Changing the permissions for the individual files and directory helps.
But MediaWiki creates every new thumb with insufficient permissions.
Any pointers?
