Ps: Reading over my (very long! Sorry!) response, I realized that I'd meant to invite you to expand on one part.
A lot of rules we need are actually the otherwise unwritten rules of fandom and not the ones that come out of court decisions.
I would say that we need to have guidelines that reflect the norms of fandom (which do vary from one fandom to the next, but I know what you're referring to) and rules that come out of court decisions, for example rules regarding "fair use" of copyrighted images that would stand up to a challenge.
But the rules that will pass muster with the Legal Comm are the ones that resemble Wikipedia, you're right. And we need the other sorts of guidelines that arise of fandom's practices and general expectations, too. So if you can think of any other sorts of questions we need to consider in the area of images, please do add them.
