The best way I've found is to modify [[MediaWiki:Common.js]], but I ran into [[#Problems]] with that too.
<source lang=javascript>
/*To add <script src="https://use.fontawesome.com/14c71d3de0.js"></script> tags to the page we use load instead of the deprecated importScriptURI *//* You'll need to visit the fontawesome site to get a KEY to use */mw.loader.load('//use.fontawesome.com/14c71d3de0aldfjsdlkfjdlskf0.js');
</source>
=== Problems ===
There may be bugs that have to be tracked down with regard to using it on a wiki site.
It turns out that Tidy was interfering with FontAwesome by removing the empty tags.# <strike>The problems I originally encountered mysteriously disappeared. The main caveat being that FA does not preview. It only shows up on 'Save'.</strike>
# <strike>Font Awesome only seems to work if there is an actual image on the page. For example, this is an edit icon from a normal svg file. <nowiki>[[Image:Edit icon.svg|30px]]</nowiki>. Remove that and your Font Awesome icon will disappear. Note: the image file doesn't even have to exist, it's just that the image processing code is not called unless there is a <nowiki>[[File:]]</nowiki> tag in the wikitext.</strike>
# <strike>And FA doesn't work if I close the tag properly. </strike>
