{{icon|<name>|size=16px}}

This template has several purposes:

Makes some item icons link to relevant article pages instead of the default "File history" page (eg. Saltpeter).
It can save many edits in the future, for example certain foods that have the same icon now (banana & lemon), could have a unique icon later. The article refers to the individual foods, so the article won't need updating.
Adds mouseover title. TODO: add a mouseover popup with the title (very handy in recipes tables)
Reduces custom mediawiki code in the articles.

parameter 1: Name of the icon. See Item Icons Guide for available icons (eg. "firstaid"). If not provided, an empty box is shown.
