Fair use prohibits displaying images in categories? edit

It appears this category's display has been changed so that the images themselves do not appear. This has apparently been done under the guise of adhering to Wikipedia's fair use policies. Could somebody explain this? I mean, this set up sorta defeats the purpose of the category. While seeing article titles in a normal category is fine, image file names are pretty much useless in a media category. Image:CastleBattle.JPG could be about a thousand things, so it isn't very helpful to not see the image itself. Jeff Silvers 20:25, 25 October 2006 (UTC)Reply
