What is the standard formatting preference for images on this wiki? I see some articles that have images link to its raw full sized image, doing that actually hinders editors from accessing easy links which are removed when the image links to the full sized picture when clicked. Linking to the full size isn't really necessary.

The default is that when you click a picture, a slideshow appears which displays the link to the image's page, full sized image, and a list of which other articles the image appears on. The slideshow is also useful if the page has multiple images on it, you can just click next to view the other images. Having it link to a specific area removes the slideshow and all its features.

Thumb vs no thumb: Putting |thumb on an image adds an icon on top of the image on the lower right, when you hover on the image, which links to the image's page which would be handy for editors who need to edit the image. Having the |thumb also allows you to add text under the image, having no |thumb prevents texts from working if there are any.

The image on the left has no thumb and links to its full sized image, the texts on it doesn't work (it actually has some), if someone wanted to go to that image's page, they either have to search for it or type it manually on the address bar since the image only has a link to the full sized image. I've had that problem when replacing maps which is why I removed the links and added thumbs. There are some articles that have images with either no |thumb, links to its full size or both of those like the image on the left.
