I am another reader whose only interaction with Wikipedia in the last five or six years has been to commentvocifersoulyabout how terrible media viewer is.  There is NOTHING about media viewer that is an improvement on the old image information page.  The old page was faster, more informative, linkable in a useful manner, and did not instantly change the way in which I was interacting with the Wikipedia.  Mediaviewer is an ugly, unecessary, intrusive, broken-by-design kludge.
