Template:Icon

Template documentation (for the above template, sometimes hidden or invisible)

This template is deprecated and no longer in use.
Please visit "Due to the way pages are loaded and cached, this template consumes 10x CPU time usage compared to using regular image links. Just use regular image links, see Icons for a list of icon-images." for current info. User: Arin Mara (talk) 18:30, 22 May 2022 (UTC)

Syntax

The function takes up to three parameters. Each of the parameters are optional, while still allowing for some customization if need be.

{{ icon | type | size | hint }}

Parameters

type

This determines which icon to show and it will default back to the webifier icon if no parameters are given. Remember to use lower-case letters.

size

This determines the size of the image, in pure numbers. It defaults to 32 (the px part of the size is omitted from the parameter as it is included in the template).

hint

This is the mouse-over hint. Add this if you want custom text to be displayed when you hover over the icon. This parameter will accept codes like bold or italic or wiki-links, but will simply strip any link-coding or formatting from them and presents the unmodified plain text.

Examples

• {{icon|point}} → (it will use the default size and no mouse-over tooltip)
• {{icon|||Stay put with a web!}} → (default icon and size was used since no first argument was given)
• {{icon|warp scrambler|16|No MWD for you!}} → (smaller icon, could be used inside a paragraph without breaking the line height)
