Extension:FontAwesome

The FontAwesome extension adds Font Awesome support to MediaWiki.

Features
Adds the ability to use any of the Font Awesome scalable vector icons to Mediawiki, easily customized — size, color, drop shadow, and anything that can be done with the power of CSS.

Compatibility
Tested using the Vector Skin, though one would expect the extension to work in any skin as it is a pure css extension.

Tested with Mediawiki version 1.22.6 (27th May 2014).

The extension works with all major browsers apart from I.E 6 and 7.

Configuration
Font Awesome uses the following syntax;

The result will be an icon place to the left of the (Foo) text. Note that icons display in the same size as the font, e.g. Icons placed within an h1 tag will be very big, whereas icons placed within p tags will be small.

A complete list of icons can be found at the Font Icon Website (see below).
