I hate this behavior on Wikipedia. Worst part is that people then share links to those views which don't work without running javashit.

If you have an account, you can disable it in preferences. Appearance -> Files -> "Enable Media Viewer" Toggle that off and it'll never happen again

Blocking the scripts in question works better for that without the need to make an account. But neither solves the problem of others sharing links to image views that won't work without scripts enabled.

You can still share a link directly to the file. For example:

* Page with images - https://support.wiki.gg/wiki/CSS * An image in media viewer - https://support.wiki.gg/wiki/CSS#/media/File:Css-wiki-body-b... * The image file page - https://support.wiki.gg/wiki/File:Css-wiki-body-background-i... * The direct image in question - https://support.wiki.gg/images/4/41/Css-wiki-body-background...
