The scrolling isn't the problem at all. The issue is that all the images being inserted to the page makes it freeze up when we try to open the editor. It's why we changed from our old format that sorted dragons by types etc. to a list where each dragon only appears once on the page. There were too many images and repeating them didn't help.

Templates would add a lot of work every time a new dragon is added (you have to shift the bottom one to the next template or the top one to the previous, plus it would either a) make it more difficult to monitor pages to the dragon pages since Template edits don't show up in the Wiki Activity summary (you have to go to a horribly cluttered page to view Template edits) and b) make it difficult for other users to edit (most people are afraid of templates) or, if we choose to address issue a) by locking the Template pages, then normal users would be unable to edit at all. That goes against the spirit of the wiki.

Thanks for the suggestion, but unfortunately we're going to have to search for a solution that addresses the problem. I suspect we'll just have to look for viable workarounds.
