← Semi-useful things I've made

Credit

Credits to Fitch for his creation of the original IMDb arrow. I decided to elaborate with the rest.

What it does

This script changes the external link icon () on some links to ones that show the site to which it links.

Usage

@import "//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Bob/externals.css&action=raw&ctype=text/css";

Put the about code at the top of your monobook.css (or other .css depending on your skin). I advise to not just copy/paste the script since new ones will be added over time. Also, feel free to update the script with new ones, better images, etc. In fact, I encourage it.

Notes

• It uses CSS3, so it won't work in IE6 and possibly other browsers.
• It has been tested in Monobook skin, should work in Chick, Simple and Myskin, does not work in other skins.
• Code is located at User:Bob/externals.css
