And what default do you use for non-logged-in Users?  Don't allow them to see any images with tags until they log in?  That's discriminatory.

Tag controversial images, preferably into a couple categories (nudity,

user set a preference for their defaults (maybe give them a toggle they 
can hit at will while browsing to turn all on/off), and then let them 
easily select single controversial images to display. There are several 
options for the last part, Javascript being the easiest, and it can be 
combined with a server-side mechanism for those that have disabled or 
lack Javascript support.

Absent strange coding in the affected areas of MediaWiki, none of this 
should be particularly difficult to implement for someone with the 
neccessary skills.

(Before someone starts complaining about determining what's 
controversial, I don't think we're going to have any trouble figuring it 
out. Just wait for the firestorm; controversial images will essentially 
prove themselves.)
