@cameronneylon Interesting question!
I know about https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Attribution_Generator for #CreativeCommons images (verbatim) reuse and I see that e.g. #MediaWiki extension https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Chart produces SVG files without any such metadata inside (presumably because they're not supposed to be downloaded?).
Consider no icon. That might double reach among sighted users, and removes the need for the a11y workarounds. From:
<button onclick=".." title="Copy code" aria-label="Click to copy code">emoji</button>
To:
<button onclick='..">Copy</button>
And then perhaps:
<button onclick="..; this.textContent='Copied!'"> Copy</button>
Python and several others do this. I implemented it in MediaWiki as well. E.g.:
* https://docs.python.org/3/library/string.html#format-string-syntax
* https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Quickstart?safemode=on

How to install MediaWiki with Apache on Ubuntu 24.04
This article provides a guide to installing MediaWiki with Apache on Ubuntu 24.04. MediaWiki, known for facilitating collaborative content creation and management, pairs well with the widely supported Apache web server. The installation process involves setting up Apache, installing the MariaDB database server, adding PHP support, and configuring a secure environment for MediaWiki.https://geekrewind.com/how-to-install-mediawiki-with-apache-on-ubuntu-24-04/

Never mentioned my other software release on fediverse, but after year and a half from last release why not do that too.
RcGcDw got 1.17 update! This awkwardly named software and even more awkwardly coded software is a #MediaWiki program to basically bring you a feed of MediaWiki wiki's recent changes to #Discord, or... Not?
It was only supporting Discord webhooks in the past, however thanks to Minecraft Wiki community that got a new place on #Zulip, an optional hook was developed that bridges recent changes to Zulip as well. And since I'm mainly a #Matrix user, I've also wrote a bare bones hook for that platform, I use it for Super Animal Royale wiki community.
Both hooks were made out of necessity and haven't gone through extensive testing, however they work for purposes of my communities, if there is any visible need for that functionality I can spend more time on it.
Other than that more support for MW extension log events got added, 2 more languages and a lot of internal changes to support other software I've rewritten.
Either way, RcGcDw development is very much in maintenance mode at this point. There is a wiki with some rather short documentation https://gitlab.com/chicken-riders/RcGcDw/-/wikis/home.
If you need a recent changes feed for your #wiki community in chat solution of your choice, and you can self host, it might be something of interest to you. 
#MediaWiki is like an old pair of shoes you find in the back of your closet, and you realize how much you missed them.
I put MediaWiki 1.45 into my #homelab and after a few resets I now have an Alpine based instance with failover, rolling updates, etc. up. For me this is like my first meeting with Markdown in 2004. The format and way to use it is so toned down, you never ponder how to do stuff. So my Homelab docs moved into it.
