== Installing Icons ==
In order to get the Oxygen icons into this mediawiki system, I installed the icon set (well actually I think it came as a dependency with some kde4 application) which provides the compressed svg files.  Then I copied the compressed files to a temporary location where I could decompress them and import them.  Using the import tool provided by mediawiki, I batch imported the ~800 images.  I didn't categorize them, which had I known about categorizing images I would have done first, rather than later.  If you want to categorize your images on import, just add the category to the comment.
<source lang="bash">
find /usr/lib/kde4/share/icons/oxygen/scalable/ -name '*svgz' -exec cp {} /tmp/ \;
gunzip --suffix=svgz /tmp/*svgz
for i in /tmp/*\.; do mv $i ${i}svg; done;
cd phase3/maintenance
php importImages.php --extensions=svg --user=Freephile --comment='Get the whole set at http://www.oxygen-icons.org' /tmp/
</source>
