:'''An image''' = Should be an image with usual wiki notation. 40px - 50px width are usually about right depending on the image height to width ratio. (Images over 52 pixels width will cause padding problems.) For example: | :'''An image''' = Should be an image with usual wiki notation. 40px - 50px width are usually about right depending on the image height to width ratio. (Images over 52 pixels width will cause padding problems.) Often an icon is [[Wikipedia:Alternative text for images #Purely decorative images|purely decorative]] in the W3C sense that it repeats the text and therefore, in order to improve [[Wikipedia:Accessibility|accessibility]] to visually impaired readers, it should not be announced by a [[screen reader]]. Such an icon can be marked with "{{para|link}}{{para|alt}}". For example: | ||
::<code><nowiki>image = [[Image:Unbalanced scales.svg|40px]]</nowiki></code> | ::<code><nowiki>image = [[Image:Unbalanced scales.svg|40px|link=|alt=]]</nowiki></code> | ||
: Conversely, an icon that does not use "{{para|link}}{{para|alt}}", and which therefore is announced to visually impaired readers, should use an "{{para|alt|<var>[[Wikipedia:Alternative text for images|alt text]]</var>}}" parameter that describes the icon. With no {{para|link}} parameter, the alt text should describe the icon's visual appearance. For example: | |||
::<code><nowiki>image = [[Image:Gnome globe current event.svg|40px|alt=Clock over a larger globe]]</nowiki></code> | |||
: With a nonempty "{{para|link|<var>Page</var>}}" the alt text should describe the icon's function. For example: | |||
::<code><nowiki>image = [[Image:File:Purple question mark.svg|40px|link=Special:Random|alt=Random article]]</nowiki></code> | |||
: An icon whose license requires a link to its file page must use "{{para|alt|<var>alt text</var>}}" without any {{para|link}} parameter. Although public domain images do not require a link, many licenses do require one. Please see ''[[Wikipedia:Alternative text for images #Purely decorative images|Purely decorative images]]'' for more information about licensing. | |||

Internally this meta-template uses HTML wikimarkup instead of wikimarkup for the table code. That is the usual way we make meta-templates since wikimarkup has several drawbacks.

The default images for this meta-template are in png format instead of svg format. The main reason is that some older web browsers have trouble with the transparent background that MediaWiki renders for svg images. The png images here have hand optimised transparent background colour so they look good in all browsers. Note that svg icons only look somewhat bad in the old browsers, thus such hand optimisation is only worth the trouble for very widely used icons. | The default images for this meta-template are in png format instead of svg format.
