Description:
hi,
if I use other language instead of English, for example using Kurdish (Sorani) or Arabic with RTL direction. The images in default skin (Monobook) are not displayed.
I've tried the following code.
[http://mediawiki.org MediaWiki]
[mailto:info@example.org email me]
the links worked fine, but don't display the external.png & mail_icon.gif beside the Links.
best regards

Let's keep bug 3956 restricted to the user icon only, and keep this bug for the external link icons. They seem to be entirely different problems. I can confirm that the external link icons simply don't exist on RTL: e.g., look at
http://he.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Simetrical/bug_16502
and note that there are no icons. This should be some straightforward CSS to fix, although it will probably result in code duplication. The culpable code is in skins/monobook/rtl.css:
/* Fix link icons */
.external {
padding: 0 !important;
background: none !important;
}
"Fix" in this case means just get rid of the icons, instead of bothering to get them to display in the opposite direction. To fix this, we'd want to copy over all the link icon code, with padding and background direction changed. We could omit the actual URLs and stuff and just use background-position if we liked, but we'd still have to re-specify the actual padding values, since it's different for different icons.
The only reason I'd hesitate to do this is because they may have been dropped because some browsers choke on them for some reason, due to some kind of RTL-related bug. This would require testing in all major browsers to avoid regressions in appearance for RTL users.

i fix it, just remove
<pre>
/* Fix link icons */
.external {
padding: 0 !important;
background: none !important;
}
</pre>
in rtl.css and worked fine.
best regards
They're not shown for RTL due to past browser bugs causing broken display when they were on. It needs to be carefully tested before just slapping it back in.

Is this bug 1061?
Indeed. The problem is for all links with CSS added icons regardless their function.
