Problems[edit | edit source]
But there is a dependency and some bugs that have to be tracked down with regard to using it on a wiki site.
- 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.
. 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 [[File:]] tag in the wikitext. - And FA doesn't work if I close the tag properly.
- The fa element is duplicated throughout the rest of the page since it wasn't closed.
Getting it[edit | edit source]
- Sign up for a unique embed code.
- Add the script source to your wiki by editing the MediaWiki:Common.js file where you add a call to 'load' the external script
mw.loader.load('//use.fontawesome.com/14c71d3de0.js'); - Insert the
<i>tags where ever you want. Note that there are various sizes pre-defined as fa-1 (smallest) to fa-6 (largest)
