Scratch page: testing icon theming for the Shiv rows on Character Tech.

Switch between light and dark mode and compare the columns. The left column is what is live today; the middle column is the proposed change.

1. The eight Shiv rows

Column 1 is the current PageRef markup. Column 2 is the proposed Plink swap: same file, same link target, same 20px size, but wrapped in .pic-link so the theme can restyle it. Column 3 is an ordinary AbilityIcon row from the same table, as a reference for the intended look.

Current — PageRef Proposed — Plink Reference — AbilityIcon
Alt-fire Shiv/Movement#Alt-fire icon Alt-fire Slice and Dice
Force Jumping Shiv/Movement#Force_Jumping icon Force Jumping
M2 Recoil Skip Shiv/Movement#M2_Recoil_Skip icon M2 Recoil Skip
M2 Sliding Shiv/Movement#M2_Sliding icon M2 Sliding
M2 Slide Hopping Shiv/Movement#M2_Slide_Hopping icon M2 Slide Hopping
M2 Heavy Melee Climb Shiv/Movement#M2_Heavy_Melee_Climb icon M2 Heavy Melee Climb
Infinite M2 Slide Shiv/Movement#Infinite_M2_Slide icon Infinite M2 Slide
Infinite M2 Slide Acceleration Shiv/Movement#Infinite_M2_Slide_Acceleration icon Infinite M2 Slide Acceleration

2. Monochrome check

Every file in Category:Stats that actually resolves through PageRef naming. Left is the raw file, right is the same file through Plink. Any raw icon that disappears against the light background is monochrome white.

3. Notes

  • Plink forces a flat silhouette: grayscale(1) brightness(0) invert(1) in dark mode, and invert(0) in light mode via the brown theme. So it only suits monochrome icons, never full-colour ones.
  • Plink hardcodes its alt text as the link target plus the word "icon", so these render as "Shiv/Movement#Alt-fire icon". PageRef currently emits an empty alt. Neither is ideal.
