[Wikipedia-l] Image link to larger image

[Magnus Manske]

To re-use an earlier idea of mine: There could be a namespace "thumb:" 
(or thumbnail or preview or ...), which refers to the same files as 
"image:" does, but:
* It has a fixed width (say, 150 pixel, or "15%" or something)
* It could have "special effects", like aligning it to the right, with 
the text floating around it
* [[thumb:xyz.png|text]] would display the thumbnailed image, with 
"text" below it
* It would link to the large image, maybe with the description from the 
image: namespace

Advantages:
* no new HTML, just another namespace
* no need to upload small and large image, the large one will do
* no ugly "click here to see the larger image" link (but, if you like 
that, it could be created on-the-fly)
