See attached screenshot. There is no icon next the the "View source". I don't know whether this is intentional or not but it currently looks very weird when there is no icon for "View source" but present for the other links.

@violetto Are the icons already somewhere? There's also the 'Edit' link missing an icon, see https://livingstyleguide.wmflabs.org/wiki/Checks,_radios_and_toggles

View source is put in place where "Edit" or "Edit source" is disabled. View source lets you view the source, just like you would when you click on edit, but without the ability to edit.

What do you think about using this icon:

@Volker_E, icons are already within the oojs library.

We don't yet have a finished "Edit" (with VE) icon.

@violetto I think that's a very nice icon on a big size, for 24x24 px size I'm wondering about the significance/clarity of both symbols (edit pencil and lock icon) together.

@violetto what is the "Edit" vs "Edit source" icon?

@violetto what is the "Edit" vs "Edit source" icon?

I don't think View and View source map to Edit and Edit source. One can argue that they somewhat do, but…

In my understanding:

@Prtksxna I was a bit sloppy in my words. "Bearbeiten" translates to "Edit" and it misses an icon currently. So my short sentence meant @violetto what's the Edit icon versus the Edit source icon? Latter has an edit icon specified currently as seen in screenshot above with German settings.

It seems promising, that we will see just one "Edit" link in near future, looking at progress over at T58337: Change VE integration to only use one edit tab, to avoid user choice paralysis.

It seems promising, that we will see just one "Edit" link in near future, looking at progress over at T58337: Change VE integration to only use one edit tab, to avoid user choice paralysis. We'll have to revisit this task (or opening a follow-up) then.
