Great, you installed imagemagick. Excellent! Is there a way to assign aliases to media files? e.g. note.svg as an alias for receipt-solid-with-text.svg? This way [[File:Receipt-solid-with-text.svg|50px|left|Side Note]] would become [[File:note.svg|50px|left|Side Note]]. Not so important, just a thought. | |||

Yay welcome!
Hi 8go, welcome to the wiki! And thanks for contributing :) --MiltonPusser (talk) 15:58, 1 February 2019 (UTC)
Icon request
Hey 8go, thanks for all your contributions. Since you made the logo, I hope you can help me with the following.
Do you know the for-dummies books? They often have these "info boxes" showing alerts, code samples and all ( this kind of stuff: https://i.imgur.com/70TLUaF.jpg ) .
I want to make boxes on the wiki too:
- Alerts
- Information
- Side Note
- Please-help-box
Do you think you can make/find icons for this? Is this something you would want to do? --MiltonPusser (talk) 15:17, 20 February 2019 (UTC)
I had a first glance: First idea that comes to my mind. We could use FontAwesome. Somewhere we have to state that the 4 icons are under CC BY license. (An alternative to FontAwesome is https://ionicons.com/ and there are many more on Github, also Android Material, etc.) If needed we can modify the icons slightly to make them even more uniform, e.g. putting a light gray background box around them.

Or play around yourself on https://fontawesome.com/icons?d=gallery&q=receipt. Do not choose "PRO" icons as they are $.
If need be, I can take the SVGs and convert them into PNG or other formats. What is your preferred format? SVG usually is the best quality. How do you want to move forward? I just pick the 4 I like best and send you 4 SVGs? You pick yourself? Which color do you want? Do you want a background? E.g. a light colored square?
Sounds good, nice find! I am fine with you picking a set, you know your way around. I just enabled uploading SVG :) --MiltonPusser (talk) 21:47, 24 February 2019 (UTC)
I uploaded 2 sets:
- Set 1: simple, no text, just icon, just black
- Set 2: with text, in color
Examples

- Testing PNGs now:

During the upload of the SVG files there was this error: "Error creating thumbnail: /bin/bash: convert: command not found". That means that the package "imagemagick" is not installed.
When I looked at this page, a page where the icons are used, I got this error: "Error creating thumbnail: /bin/bash: convert: command not found". Same, package "imagemagick" is not installed.
Same error also without "thumb" attribute.
And on last test, without any attributes, the same error. Looks like package "imagemagick" MUST be installed for SVGs to work.
Since SVGs did not work right out of the box, I created also a 3rd set of PNGs.
Great, you installed imagemagick. Excellent! Is there a way to assign aliases to media files? e.g. note.svg as an alias for receipt-solid-with-text.svg? This way
would become
