Since sorting images seems to be a categorical affair, and that articles here do not
require much in the way of articles or descriptions, is it possible to make article
pages function as if they were a category?  
It would save some typing, and reduce use of static linkage (ie. articles) in favor of
dynamic likage (ie. categories). 

"Articles" in turn would require fitting into a namespace, though I agree that would
seem to defy convention. 
Again, this idea is based on the notion that everything could fit into category pages,
or commons: pages, and little else. A migration/integration campaign would be required.
