Easy
Add to your MediaWiki:vector.js page or add a script JS page to the <head>
Make sure the li id's match the icon you want to prepend to.
$('li#t-specialpages a').prepend('<i class="fa fa-magic fa-fw"></i>')
$('li#t-print a').prepend('<i class="fa fa-print fa-fw"></i>')
$('li#t-permalink a').prepend('<i class="fa fa-dot-circle-o fa-fw"></i>')
Might be better to wrap the icon in a div for more control. Even up left right
padding as an example. Then add the div class to your CSS. Helps with alignment
of icons.
Example
$('li#t-upload a').prepend('<div class="fa-icon"><i class="fa fa-upload
fa-fw"></i></div>')
Make sure you hard reload to flush the cache of page after the additional JS.
Any issues could be a js conflict. Check the console and replace $ with jQuery
in the front.
