Template:Top icon
 | This template is used on approximately 78,000 pages and changes may be widely noticed. Test changes in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them. |
| Do not use images with licenses requiring attribution in a top icon if you are going to link to somewhere other than the image description page. Not linking to the image is likely to violate the license. |
 | This template does not display in the mobile view of Wikipedia; it is desktop only. See Template:Navbox visibility for a brief explanation. |
This is a metatemplate used to help build top icons, the little (usually 20x20 pixels) icons in the top-right area of a page. The template uses the page status indicator system.
Usage
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" style="overflow: auto;"> </syntaxhighlight>
Extra options: <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" style="overflow: auto;"> | sortkey = Allows ordering the icons according to the sortkey given. | width = Uses a different width for the images. Default is 20. | height = Uses a different height for the images. Default is 20. | usercat = Adds a category to be added in userspace. | maincat = Adds a category to be added in article mainspace. | subpage = For categorization on subpages (default = no). | nocat = Disables the automatically added category (default = no). | skin-invert = Sets the `skin-invert` CSS class (which inverts the value of colors when viewed in dark mode) on the image. Intended for default-black icons or others that require this for dark mode visibility. </syntaxhighlight>
Top icons are automatically sorted for consistency in articles. For that reason, |sortkey= should only be used in user top icons. Sort keys are sorted alphabetically, so, for example, "19" will sort before "2". If you want to use numbers as sort keys, and you have more than 10 top icons on a page, you must add leading zeroes, e.g. |sortkey=01, |sortkey=02, etc.
|width= and |height= are restrictive, meaning when one parameter is not set explicitly, the default acts as a maximum, even if the other parameter is set higher. To increase the overall size, both must be specified.
The following parameters are obsolete and no longer functional: |number=, |icon_nr=, |offset=, |extra-offset=, |class= and |style=.
Example
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext"> Template:Accountcreator topicon Template:Rollback topicon Template:Autopatrolled topicon </syntaxhighlight>
Example with blank space
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext"> Template:Admin topicon Template:Oversighter topicon Template:Checkuser topicon </syntaxhighlight>
