As [[User:Dmehus]] pointed out over on [[Electowiki talk:The caucus]], the icons that show up for interwiki links (e.g. "[[mw:Help:Links]]" and "[[wikipedia:Help:Links]]") are really nicely done. I can't take credit for it; if anyone associated with [[electowiki]] was responsible, my guess is that it was [[User:Psephomancy]]. But it's still a mystery to me how it's done. I agree with [[User:Dmehus]] though; they're really nice. -- [[User:RobLa|RobLa]] ([[User talk:RobLa|talk]]) 06:01, 13 July 2020 (UTC)

:{{ping|RobLa}} Darn, I was hoping you'd know how to do it, so I could do this over at [[mh:testwiki|Public Test Wiki]] and maybe, eventually, over at Meta or the Miraheze Commons, too. I presume it's done through the user interface somehow, by calling up a template containing the little icons, but the documentation for the '''MediaWiki:''' namespace, I find, to be rather lacking. If [[User:Psephomancy|Psephomancy]] is still semi-active around here, I'd love to know the secret. It's perfect. [[meta:User:Dmehus|Dmehus]] ([[User talk:Dmehus|talk]]) 14:18, 13 July 2020 (UTC)

Icons

As User:Dmehus pointed out over on Electowiki talk:The caucus, the icons that show up for interwiki links (e.g. "mw:Help:Links" and "wikipedia:Help:Links") are really nicely done. I can't take credit for it; if anyone associated with electowiki was responsible, my guess is that it was User:Psephomancy. But it's still a mystery to me how it's done. I agree with User:Dmehus though; they're really nice. -- RobLa (talk) 06:01, 13 July 2020 (UTC)

@RobLa: Darn, I was hoping you'd know how to do it, so I could do this over at Public Test Wiki and maybe, eventually, over at Meta or the Miraheze Commons, too. I presume it's done through the user interface somehow, by calling up a template containing the little icons, but the documentation for the MediaWiki: namespace, I find, to be rather lacking. If Psephomancy is still semi-active around here, I'd love to know the secret. It's perfect. Dmehus (talk) 14:18, 13 July 2020 (UTC)
