Extension:Title Icon

The Title Icon extension places an icon beside the page title when the title is displayed at the top of the page and when the page is listed in search results. Display of such an icon can help users easily visually detect that a page is in a particular category. This helps on the page itself, but also helps when trying to pick out the correct page from a list of search results.

The icon is specified by a semantic property of type Text that indicates the filename of an image file uploaded to the wiki. The extension looks for the property on the page itself and on the category page of any category to which the page belongs. Multiple icons will be displayed where multiple values are assigned to the property up to a maximum of five for each page queried for the property (the page itself and its categories). However, if the same icon is specified more than once, it will only be displayed once. The icon is sized to 36 pixels by 36 pixels maintaining its original aspect ratio.

By default, Title Icon will insert the icon in the title at the top of a page for any skin that puts the title in an HTML element with id   such as the default Vector skin. This can be changed for other skins using the  configuration variable. This approach can also be used to have the Title Icon appear at other places in the page by using a  and appropriate choice of.

Special thanks to Bernadette Clemente for the original idea that inspired this extension and to Keven Ring for an early implementation of this extension.
