Here's another possible solution without writing extensive code:
 * Use a standard gallery with multiple 1px x 1px transparent images as placeholders.
 * Wrap that gallery in a div with a class name that marks it for javascript code.
 * Add the slideshow text inside the wrapper div.
 * replace those placeholder images with spans containing the slideshow text.

It's a simple workaround to use Wikia's existing code to handle the slideshow.
