 There have been a handful of requests for additional icons to be added to
 the social media links iconset in Twenty Nineteen:

 - Wikipedia (Proposed by @klaas1):
 https://github.com/WordPress/twentynineteen/pull/707
 - Discord (Proposed by @silas2209):
 https://github.com/WordPress/twentynineteen/pull/705
 - Mastodon (Proposed by Marko Saric):
 https://github.com/WordPress/twentynineteen/issues/711

 Wikipedia and Discord have working patches already (attached):

 Twenty Seventeen has a similar social media iconset included, and has
 received similar requests: #43342, #45328

 I don't see an issue with adding these ones (especially the ones that have
 patches already), but I will note that we should probably agree on some
 limitations around these sorts of additions: there are a near-infinite
 number of social media services out there, and we won't be able to include
 them all. In addition, each icon added provides a (admittedly very tiny)
 file size bump, and as these services update their logos over time,
 there'll be maintenance required to keep these up to date.

 Here is the current list of supported icons in Twenty Nineteen, for
 reference:
