Perhaps we could have a tag (something like __NOIMAGES__) that would
keep
all images on the page hidden by default. When the user clicks on "Show
Images" a JavaScript script would go through and make each image
visible.
(One potential way to do this would be to set src="blank.png" or similar
on each of the images initially and then have the JavaScript iterate
through the images and set the proper `src' attribute for each one.
OTOH,
this might totally break images for people with non–JavaScript-capable
browsers.)
This would, of course, require some changes to MediaWiki, so it would be
less trivial to implement than a simple [[foo (text only)]] version, but
then it wouldn't be necessary to keep the two articles in sync.
