What is Emoticons?[edit | edit source]

Emoticons are converted to small smiley images in the Reading View.

Enable forum-style emoticon (smiley) replacement within MediaWiki.

BlueSpice has a list of emoticons, or smilies, coming from chat jargon. These can enhance communication by expressing things like irony, for example. If a user adds a smiley to an article, this is transformed into an image.

The following sequences of symbols are transformed into emoticons. Here is the list of BlueSpice smilies where you see the sequence of symbols, then the name of the image, then the image and a short description:

Tips for using emoticons[edit | edit source]

If a user adds an emoticon to an article, this is transformed into a small image. The emoticons used can be changed at the page Template: emoticons.

Note: Emoticons cannot be used directly at the start of a line! This could otherwise lead to conflicts with other wiki markup e.g. indents or lists which start with : or ;. One always has to leave a space before an emoticon too.
