Hi, as many of you know we are adding pronunciations
on commons and link
them wherever this is possible.
Now there's one thing I don't like when inserting the link to the
soundfile on commons.
Just have a look here:
http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_W._Bush
http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_W._Bush
After George Walker Bush we have this sign for outbound links, but
really it is not an oubound link - it is a pronunciation. We have the
same problems for the language courses on wikibooks and of course also
wiktionary.
I don't see such a symbol in my browser - it is indistinguishable
from an ordinary wiki link. Though if I go into Firefox instead I
do see it. Interesting.
The solution to remove the icon is to assign it to the class "plainlinks".
For example:
'''<span class="plainlinks">[[Media:En-us-George Walker
Bush.ogg|George Walker Bush]]</span>'''
Since the soundfiles are going to be more and more
used it would be
great if we had a sign (maybe a music note or somethin similar) that
indicates that there is the pronucination. This will also help people to
immediately understand which one is the point to click on to "hear".
Do you see a solution for this?
It may be possible to set up a special class for media links and set up a special
icon for it in your site's [[Mediawiki:Monobook.css]] -- look at the default
monobook (
http://nl.wikipedia.org/skins/monobook/main.css) and see how it handles
the icons for different link types.
