Bug #: 39426
Summary: Skins should have a way of overriding interface images
used in core like the redirect arrow
Product: MediaWiki
Version: 1.20-git
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized

See the thread at support desk:
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Thread:Project:Support_desk/Need_to_replace_redirect_file_File:Redirect_arrow_without_text.svg
Basically someone asked how to change the redirect arrow that displays with
#redirect syntax so that it works with their green on black skin.
I advised them to just replace the image file, as we don't really have any
method of overriding those images in a skin (short of some really hacky CSS).
However, really skins should be able to override such images, as we don't want
skin designers patching core.
Perhaps some method in the Skin class getURLForImage, core code does stuff like
$context->getUser()->getSkin()->getURLForImage( 'redirect arrow' ) which
returns the appropriate url of either redirectarrowltr or redirectarrowrtl
depending on the directionality of interface (Thus as added bonsu, hiding
details of LTR vs RTL from core parts).
