Also, a "lightbox" feature may help - expand the image to the full size (as sent by the server) on click, then link to the file page upon a second click (hide the "lightbox" upon a click outside of the image borders). I am unsure how difficult this feature would be to add -- I have not dug around in MediaWiki's code before. Can someone point me in the right direction?
It shouldn't be too difficult. You could start with a gadget (https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Gadget), then if it gets popular, try to move it to core.
I might be able to help if you have questions.

I'm sorry that I wasn't clear enough in my question - I meant the entire issue, not just the "lightbox", i.e. limiting generation of (non-standard) thumbnails, as explained in the "opening post" (if such terminology applies to mailing lists).
