Since the new external link icon was already designed (added in the task description) we could implement it soon.

Change #1076028 had a related patch set uploaded (by LWatson; author: LWatson):

[design/codex@main] icons, Link: Add new external link icon

https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/1076028

@bmartinezcalvo My understanding is to remove the existing externalLink icon in Codex and replace it with the new icon image(s). This way the icons in Codex and Figma match. Does that sound right?

Other questions:

  • Should the ltr image flip or use both rtl & ltr SVG images?
  • What pixel size should the icon be in the Link demo with icon?
CCiufo-WMF subscribed.

We shouldn't have to change anything with the Link yet, that work is captured in T369869. For now we want to preserve the current, but just have a new icon.

Thanks! I'll update the SVG image for externalLink icon if I understand that correctly. The current icon image flips/mirrors so I will not change that.

Right, this task is just to include the externalLink icon within the Codex list of icons.

Sorry for the back and forth. An externalLink icon already exists in Codex and this list of icons. Do we want to introduce a new icon (different from the existing externalLink ) or update externalLink icon's SVG image to the SVG in the task description?

We are just updating/replacing the existing one :)

@bmartinezcalvo, I have a request for when you return to the office. To resolve this task, we may need to export a 20x20 SVG image so that the external link icon is the same size as the other icons. The SVG in the task description is 12x12. Could we update the SVG to fit the standard 20x20 size (based on Codex SVG conventions)?

CCiufo-WMF lowered the priority of this task from Medium to Low.Sep 30 2024, 4:56 PM

@lwatson I have updated the file in the task description to the 20x20 SVG file.

Why wasn't this change applied to OOUI?

Thanks for flagging this! It was my error for not updating the icon in OOUI. I filed a new task to update the icon in OOUI T383086

Hey @bmartinezcalvo, can you update the linkExternal-rtl SVG image in the task description when you have time? The RTL image's arrow should point to the northwest. In Codex we flip the LTR image but in OOUI we need both LTR and RTL images.
