Annoying at first the difference with flickr's when i tried to put the mouse
over them. MAybe user experience can be improved.

Please, do. Wikia develops useful extensions, but when we have similar 
needings on Wikimedia projects, usually we don't evenknow about their 
existence. We also talked some time ago about Special:Minupload when 
brainstorming about improving the upload process. There's very little 
information about wikia extensions.
