CrypticIcon

As I edit this page on MediaWiki, I see a row of icons directly above the text editing box. From left to right they are...

  1. A bold letter B. I can guess this means "bold".
  2. An italic letter I. "Italicize".
  3. The letters "Ab", in blue and underlined. Maybe this means insert a link?
  4. A globe with a dogeared paper in front of it. The globe might imply the World Wide Web? So maybe this one is "insert a link"? But then what's the last one?
  5. A huge letter A, overflowing its frame. Um, text size?
  6. A white rectangle with illegible pixels inside it. Picture, maybe?
  7. A trumpet-looking thing. I have no idea.
  8. A square-root-of-n symbol. Insert equation, maybe?
  9. The letter W inside a red circle with a slash through it. I have no idea.
  10. Part of a signature. Insert information about the editor, maybe?
  11. A minus sign or horizontal line. Insert a horizontal line?

Now I'll go hover the mouse over each one to find out what they really mean...
