Great, can you update  https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Design/WikiFont
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Design/WikiFont#Future_plans> ?

How can third-party MediaWiki developers use these?  The
ResourceLoaderImageModule hinted at in
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Design/WikiFont#Future_plans is merged, but
seems undocumented.

I assume OOjs UI will be able to use any of these icons in a button, e.g.
http://living-style-guide.wmflabs.org/wiki/OOjs_UI/Widgets/Buttons_and_Switches
. OOjs UI's list of semantic names is at
https://git.wikimedia.org/blob/oojs%2Fui.git/HEAD/src%2Fthemes%2Fmediawiki%2Fimages.json#L26
, but as I commented in the earlier "Icon SVGs needed" thread, ideally we
would have a table of the icon file names together with Jon's visual and
semantic description and their Unicode code points (as I understand it the
mobile apps still use the WikiIcon font).

Also in that thread, Jon suggested

which still seems a good idea. If that had a JSON file of the icon names
and information we could generate an on-wiki table with the SVGs in it.
