Template:Symbol/doc

Usage

This template is for inserting a very small image in line, used as an icon. It also accepts a variety of commonly-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.

Examples

• <syntaxhighlight inline="1" lang="wikitext">{{symbol|Segnale generico.svg}}</syntaxhighlight> → File:Segnale generico.svg
