This page defines a visual language that the MediaWiki community can use to refer to its various activities. It serves as a coordination and reference page to use a set of reusable, consistent and recognizable icons across mediums (wiki pages, blog posts, slides, etc.).
We aim to follow the
Wikimedia Foundation icon philosophy
. In order to have a consistent but expanding repository of graphics to pick from, it was decided to use icons from the
Noun Project
. These icons are all in
SVG
format, allowing us to use them at any resolution without
pixelation
, including in presentations and posters.
Because some images require specific attribution, this page also serves as a list of credits, which is particularly useful if they don't use the standard
link behavior
.
