I don't have answer for your main question ( embedding svg on the wiki )
. I think it's of course a very good idea to propose the file directly.
I answer here because I started to have the same questions about new
icons creations ( especially concerning the straight line branch of
Optigon, and brush blending modes , etc... ) . And I also started to
inspect the *.svgz files in the sources. I can work with Inkscape and
help, but that's not make me a pro icon designer. Specifications (
http://tango.freedesktop.org/Tango_Icon_Theme_Guidelines ) or just
advice would be very welcome, as well as a sort of table :
| Name | Description or action needed | Status |
to get organized in what to do...

I'd like to start up a project for making icons for use within MyPaint

resources and templates in a friendly way.
Unfortunately I can't proceed with this because our icon files are in
SVG format and the MediaWiki instance on http://wiki.mypaint.info
doesn't seem to know how to convert them to PNG thumbnails. The error
message I'm getting is
Error creating thumbnail: ERROR: meta.c (179): wmf_header_read: this isn't a

for http://wiki.mypaint.info/File:Mypaint-icon-32-test.svg
I've checked, and the file really is SVG (an open XML format) rather
than WMF (a closed binary Windows format).
I suspect that either MediaWiki or imagemagick is misconfigured since
SVGs shouldn't need be run through wmf2svg. The dbus failure looks
unhelpful too. Would it be possible to fix this? I don't know who looks
after the wiki, unfortunately.
I guess I *could* upload PNG renderings of the icons and resources I
want to use, but it's be far nicer to store the proper SVG data.
