- things that don't really belong to the article content (such as maintenance templates, icons in signatures on a talk page)
We already have a class for that .metadata (also excluded from print, book collections, WP 1.0 etc)
- things that belong to the article but MediaViewer does not offer a good user experience for them (some people suggested very small images)
Very small images we can just exclude by algorithm, data-file-width and data-file-height will tell us this right ?
- things that belong to the article but are technically too tricky to work with MediaViewer (e.g. various CSS map hacks)
I like .noviewer It aligns with several similar classes that are in wide use like: nopopups, noprint, nourlexpansion, nowrap, nounderlines

1, it looks like you want to distinguish between elements on a web page that should be viewable in mediaviewer vs those that should not.
you want to use a css class to distinguish these elements.
you mentioned that there may be future or other use cases and so you
want a generic css class; what would the other use cases be?
if the idea is to distinguish between items that should be viewable in mediaviewer vs those that should not, then i like
.mediaviewer .mediaviewer-item
Basically
- we want to distinguish between images for which MediaViewer is a good user
experience vs. those for which it is not
- we want to do it in such a way that places the community in control (CSS
classes are an easy way to do this, there could be others)
- it should be as generic as possible as MediaViewer might not be the only
tool that has to make this decision (is the image suitable for HoverCards/navigation popups? should it be included in the print/PDF view? etc)
- should not be too much work for the community to do it (e.g. adding a CSS
class to every article maintenance template is probably easy since they tend to use common frameworks; adding a parameter to the thumbnail wikicode in every such template is probably not so easy).
Some things that should be excluded:
- things that don't really belong to the article content (such as
maintenance templates, icons in signatures on a talk page)
- things that belong to the article but are technically too tricky to work
with MediaViewer (e.g. various CSS map hacks)
- things that belong to the article but MediaViewer does not offer a good
user experience for them (some people suggested very small images)
One option could be to leave the details to each wiki community, e.g. read a jQuery selector from a MediaWiki page or a JS variable, or even use a hook.
