By user level customization it is possible. I
think providing such a
feature by default, in wiki level, in projects like wikipedia is a bad
idea because each file page contains much more data than a pop up
layer can afford. Unlike facebook or google plus, only relevant and
properly licensed pictures, remain undeleted in wikimedia projects. So
all informations present in media pages, including license, category,
included pages, details about the file, etc are important for an
encyclopedic project. So current style file pages are not replacable
(atleast for now). Still user customization possible for those who not
interested in such details.
I think that answers my query pretty well
Hey, that's just one opinion :)
I think that it's a pretty good idea. It just need the right design. I
see no problem at all with showing the image like in Google+ with the
license fine-print under it.
The wikitech-l and foundation-l mailing lists are the best places to
discuss it. And maybe also the Village Pump of Commons:
