Elitist Jerks

I gleam a lot of information from this Elitist Jerks, so I created an icon. It might be good at add to site icons? -Howbizr (talk) 04:43, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

Please do. Also add the icon to Template:Elink/doc and WoWWiki:List of mini icons to advertise its availability.

It should already work as follows:

Example

• {{elink|icon=elitist-jerks|site=Elitist Jerks|link=http://elitistjerks.com}}

Output

• Elitist Jerks

Added icon to list on Template:Elink/doc. -- Fandyllic (talk · contr) 1:09 PM PST 19 Mar 2009

For historical purposes, was the icon I added, altho it got merged into oblivion. -Howbizr (talk) 02:49, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

Why does this template use <div>?

Using <div> makes it always have a linebreak at the beginning. Could we make it use <span> and have the linebreaks on by default, but with the disabling by using a parameter? -- Fandyllic (talk · contr) 6:45 PM PST 13 Mar 2009

Possible error somewhere

Don't you love how specific I am? Looking through the "wanted pages" section, I saw that several pages have links to the non-existant Image:Icon--22x22.png, which seems to be called by this template. I think it happens if there is no type parameter specified, but I am not absolutely sure. A few of the pages that look for the missing file are Deathwing, Gruul the Dragonkiller and Act. -- Wige (Talk - Contribs) 15:29, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

I think people are using the template wrong. If icon or type are not present the template falls back to a default value. However, at leat on Act, the template call had BOTH args, and they are blank. When the blank args are removed, the reference to that image goes away. TeжubԎ Ҩ Ѡ 19:12, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

New fansite icon

I updated the doc to include , but I don't have access to the template since it's protected. -Howbizr (talk) 03:02, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

If anyone wants to use it before it's added to the template, do:

{{elink|icon=wowbluetracker|site=WoW BlueTracker|link=http://blue.cardplace.com}}
