"Add Mozilla icon to wiki links to discourage bad practice"
Whilst it is most certainly bad practice to use full/external links to wiki.m.o pages, there are some usecases where it is a reasonable option. This is where the page is also used elsewhere - either on another site or in an email. As such the use of non-relative links can help. For this reason, the present 'm' is rather obtrusive and could be usefully a bit smaller / not in bold (use colour instead?) I've made a slight change in size as a test.--AlisonW (talk) 11:25, 14 April 2014 (PDT)

Link icon sizes
The built-in icons tend to be 10px square, while the custom icons (based on favicons) tend to be a multiple of 16px. If the custom icons appear too large and intrusive, maybe we should have new ones designed to fit the 10px standard. Thoughts? —Gordon P. Hemsley→✉ 07:08, 15 April 2014 (PDT)
