Thread:Project:Support desk/Padlock icons on HTTPS links. Why? and how to switch off?/reply (4)

Actually removing the 'background-image' is not the desired effect. That would make HTTPS links look like internal wiki links. I want HTTPS links to get the normal external link graphic. I think the only way of doing this in MediaWiki:Common.css is to override the background-image to set it the same like so: div#content a.external[href ^="https://"] { background-image: url(data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAoAAAAKCAYAAACNMs+9AAAAGXRFWHRTb2Z0d2FyZQBBZG9iZSBJbWFnZVJlYWR5ccllPAAAAFZJREFUeF59z4EJADEIQ1F36k7u5E7ZKXeUQPACJ3wK7UNokVxVk9kHnQH7bY9hbDyDhNXgjpRLqFlo4M2GgfyJHhjq8V4agfrgPQX3JtJQGbofmCHgA/nAKks+JAjFAAAAAElFTkSuQmCC); }

Tried this for OpenStreetMap wiki: now uses this. It works!
