Extension:Icon

Extension is based on the ImageLink and ImageMap extensions - removes dependencies, allows for linkless icons, and also implements MW thumbnailing functionality. Is quite a bit lighter & quicker than ImageMap if all you want is an icon.


 * Supports linkless images and linked images
 * Intended to simplify use of uploaded images as icons
 * Utilizes MW thumbnailing rather than having the browser resize the image - renders MUCH higher quality icons and loads only the thumbnail sized image, yielding faster client-side page render times.
 * ALT text is populated in both the ALT and TITLE attributes of the IMG tag for tooltip functionality
