==Wiki administration==
−
By default, this system is configured to show an image and link to it's description page.  Sometimes, you want to use an image to link to a page of your choice.  There are [[mw:Help:Linked_images| many ways to make mediawiki link images]], but the most convenient that we settled on here is to use the [[mw:Extension:Icon|Icon extension]]

The syntax (described at [[Icons]]) is
 
−
<pre>
 
−
{{#icon: Info.png|Info|24|floatright|Special:Help}}

</pre>

To get your image to float left or right, wrap the

<nowiki><div class="floatright">{{#icon}}</div></nowiki> Although I modified the Icon extension to be able to specify a class in the icon tag itself, the extension now reveals some weaknesses that make me want to change to the LinkedImage extension http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:LinkedImage
