How to insert inline icons in WYSWIG editor? 🤯

When I use the “insert image” dialogue and choose the “Icon” tab, i have to know the icon name by heart – there’s no picker! (But also, there does not seem to be an auto-generated list of the icons in my wiki – do I have to go to fontawesome.com and load their bloated icon lookup? That can’t be it! I found this list, but that’s generic, rather hidden and aged)

Yes you could create some jira issues to improve this. I see 2 places where this is missing:

1. in the icon macro in the WYSIWYG
2. in the new image dialog in the Icon tab

I can insert the icon picker macro – but why should I insert that into every article where I want to use a macro?

You should instead insert the icon macro (but it doesn’t offer a suggest either unfortunately).

I think it’s the most up to date we have but I agree that it should be moved to the reference documentation proper and not be in the design wiki anymore! That’s the place I use to know the names ATM…

@metawiki

or are you planning on dropping Icon support in favour of emojis?

Not that I know of.
