As promised, icons are now done. You may now use

they're pixel-perfectly composed within 24 x 24px canvas.
Great, can you update

<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Design/WikiFont#Future_plans> ?
How can third-party MediaWiki developers use these? The
ResourceLoaderImageModule hinted at in
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Design/WikiFont#Future_plans is merged,
but seems undocumented.
I assume OOjs UI will be able to use any of these icons in a button, e.g.
http://living-style-guide.wmflabs.org/wiki/OOjs_UI/Widgets/Buttons_and_Swit…
. OOjs UI's list of semantic names is at
https://git.wikimedia.org/blob/oojs%2Fui.git/HEAD/src%2Fthemes%2Fmediawiki%…
, but as I commented in the earlier "Icon SVGs needed" thread, ideally we
would have a table of the icon file names together with Jon's visual and
semantic description and their Unicode code points (as I understand it the
mobile apps still use the WikiIcon font).
Also in that thread, Jon suggested
I think we need a single repository with all the
icons in it. On the
long term I expect we can just use OOJS but in the meantime I would
recommend we should be working from the same place and using a git
submodule to pull these icons in.
which still seems a good idea. If that had a JSON file of the icon names
and information we could generate an on-wiki table with the SVGs in it.
