Are you even trying to pretend to be serious? Use case: me reading an article.
It is my impression that you are pushing for this hide/show all solution because you know it will be useless and thus no one will be using it.
That isn't the case. It was claimed multiple times that reading Wikipedia in front of bystanders can be a problem, since unwillingly some "disturbing" image might show up. If that is the case, then you can hide the images by default and enable them while you read. There were also thoughts to not hide the images entirely, but to blur them. So you will have glimpse on what it is about and could view it (remove the bluring) by just hovering it.
This would satisfy many typical needs and it isn't a thought to make the proposed feature useless. It is the result if you try to react to this problem without the need for categories and that wikipedians would need to play the censor for others.
