If a user clicks through to it, thumbnail up a 50x50px thumb for everything larger than that, and show the name and creator, with the image the traditional link-to-the-image-page.
That specific approach might create load issues, if care isn't taken about whether such pages would get spidered, but I suspect URL games could be played to preclude that.
Just for the sake of argument, you could implement it in javascript in an hour or two just by scanning the document tree and pulling out all the images. To fancier stuff like redisplaying them all at a fixed size you'd need the MediaWiki engine involved. Technically you *could* do that by editing a non-existant article with some arbitrary new code and getting it previewed...
Just trying to envision solutions that don't involve an extension to the engine, for what it's worth.
