This thread deals with all issues concerning the icons used for namespaces and their buttons, including proposals for icons for new namespaces and bugs with existing icons.
When submitting an icon, the icon images should be exactly 16x16 png with a transparent background. A gif can also be used, but png is usually better. Also, the naming convention is important. It should be the namespace in lowercase.
I am compiling a list of namespaces that need icons, and icons for those name spaces. This would be preferred to be done quickly because I've convinced Eddie to hook them up when I get them complied. I will be editing the OP as we go.
NOTE: Use the link to the sandbox in the thread title to see what still needs to be decided on.
Subpages that still need icons:
- Animation/
- FanWorks/
- Manhua/
- Sandbox/
- Timeline/
Subpages that already have icons hooked up (please note, this list has been collapsed into a note, so that the floating header post isn't huge)
Links to installation-ready icons here and forward

In uffish thought
shimaspawn said that it was easier tech-wise to insert all icons in one go.
I also suggested in the Page Creation Overhaul thread in Tech Wishlist to tie the icons to the namespace list.

Hi
![[up]](https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/smiles/arrow_up.png "[up]"){kind=icon}
I like the second podcast icon.
I like that one too.

Two. Without squinting, I can't figure out what One is.

Has Manhwa been decided yet? I think the first character in the Korean writing for Manhwa (만) would be good.
For Podcast I think #2 is better.

We need a good icon for Tabletop Games too. How about one of these? [1]

Also, re: 352, I like the computer screen better for Website/ than Blog/. (I guess we could use it for both.) I'm not a fan of the WWW.

Rhymes with "Protracted."
Tabletop Games already has an image chosen.
Granted, I like yours better, but they were suggested as options beforehand, too, and yet that fairly-basic blue die is what was chosen, apparently.
Moon◊It was suggested. It was never decided on.
We also have this one

Rhymes with "Protracted."I don't like the blue die. The red ones look better.

Number two for tabletop games. The others are so red it's difficult to see through.

I actually like #3 best of 358's.
Moon◊There's a couple other D6 options here and a few D20 options here. There was a Chess rook somewhere too, but I didn't see it. It's somewhere around one of these threads. Personally, I'd go with any one of the three I posted above.
I do think there's enough for a crowner.

The chess rook was proposed in @9
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard FeynmanWell then, there we are. I move we get a crowner rolling for tabletop games.

Hi
Crowner's rolled; I added some of the older options.
D20s are only used in Tabletop RP Gs as far as I know, and in fact only in some of them. Likewise with the Chess rook. A D6 is much more generic and doesn't narrow down Tabletop Games to only RP Gs.

I agree.

Voted accordingly.

Why does the video game one not show up?
Never trust anyone who uses "degenerate" as an insult.
It does, just not on wiki articles.

Is there a way to make it appear on main wiki pages?
Once we have icons for all the namespaces, they'll be fully implemented.
Red D6 #1 is looking like a runaway favorite.
Rhymes with "Protracted."
Let's go with 8. Woop!
Ok, so what do we have so far? We might ask Eddie to install the most crowded namespaces.
