Template:Symbol
Usage
This template is for inserting a very small image in line, used as an icon. It also accepts a variety of commly-used stock options.
One advantage over using a [[File: ...]] tag directly is the automatic setting of the noviewer class, which disables the Media Viewer.
Syntax
{{symbol|filename or stock option|width|description|link=[yes/no]}}
Parameters
- File name without "File:" (required), or built-in stock option code
- Width in pixels, default 18
- Description, appears on mouse over
|link=no, to make the symbol not link to the file description page. Note that this should only be disabled if the image is in the public domain per MOS:BLANKALT, as otherwise the link is legally required for attribution.
