Split-arrows.svg‎ (SVG file, nominally 60 × 20 pixels, file size: 2 KB)

[edit] Summary

This vector image was created with Inkscape, and then manually edited.

Two arrows symbolising an article being split in two.

(GIF)

(SVG)

(SVG v2)

This is part of a series of icons used in templates on various Wikipedias to represent the merging or splitting of content. Both GIF and SVG renditions of each exist. The GIFs exist for reasons of uniformity and backward compatibility. In Windows versions of Microsoft Internet Explorer prior to version 7, the SVGs render without transparency unless a special workaround is applied. This workaround is in place on the English Wikipedia, but works only for Internet Explorer version 6, and the workaround is not in place not on other wikis.

The SVGs, while not exact replicas of the original GIFs, are superior when displayed at sizes greater than the GIFs' native dimensions. For example, see the two renditions of the "Split-arrows" icon at 275 pixels:
