LinkTypeIcons

MeatballWiki | RecentChanges | Random Page | Indices | Categories

LinkTypeIcons automatically accompany links (typically external links) and show their type.

Simulation (expect for the vertical CSS icon positioning, and the icons are typically clickable too):

MoinMoin external: http://www.linuxwiki.de/LinuxHardware/NoteBooks
ProWiki interwiki: [MeatBall:MeatballWiki]

Examples in action:

ProWiki: http://www.dorfwiki.org/wiki.cgi?FranzNahrada/Tests/LinkTypeIcons

Types shown (implemented by):

external vs. internal page links (MoinMoin, MediaWiki, ProWiki)
protocol type, e. g. mailto (MediaWiki, ProWiki)
internal logical type, e. g. "book" for ISBN link (ProWiki)
file extension, e. g. .doc or .pdf (MediaWiki, ProWiki)
interwiki icon (ProWiki)
individual page icons (currently no implementation known)
