AOIcon Wiki Extension
wanting to start some discussion here about my intentions to rewrite the wiki extension used for generating item icons and item links to db sites.
Firstly, i'd like to unify it all into a single method, and get rid of the <aoicon> tag requirements. i'm mainly looking into using the info here, On MediaWiki site as a basis. since the original code for the aoicon extension is a horrible mess (dont know who wrote it).
Secondly, i'm going to update its option for which item site to link to. since ao mainframe is gone, and auno doesnt stay very up-to-date. planning on including Xyphos's site (should it be default over auno?) and possibly aodb.us as well.
essentially would need to know how to maintain any legacy formatting, or i think i can make this into a new extension, leaving the current ont in for "legacy" reasons. and that way the new one can use a more logical format for passing options to it.
SO, if i understand the examples.. we could have like {{ #AOICON: <itemID> | <iconSize> | <link or not> }} or such.
