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

VideoGame/ already has an icon.
Did you mean "maybe the VideoGame/ icon can be reused for Game/"?

They look the same to me. Never mind.
VideoGame/ doesn't have an icon right now.

There is the icon suggested in the sandbox.

Yes it does.
It only shows up in the watchlist, but it does.
It's not a suggestion. It existed before this topic.

Nope. Can't see it.

Fair enough; just tried it myself and I don't see it either.
I know I've seen this icon somewhere on the wiki before, though. It's not a new suggestion. I thought it was the watchlist, but since it's not, I'm drawing a blank.

Again, it's the same icon suggested on the sandbox.
Tried it with Game.Sapphire Yours. It works on the Game/ namespace, but not VideoGame/.

But it's not a suggestion! It's always been on the wiki!

Hi
I've seen the icon before as well, but it's set up in a way that doesn't jive well with the watchlist for some reason.

Has anyone suggested anything for Trope Co?
A briefcase might work for Franchise, actually... in the loosest sense, admittedly, but still.

I still think a globe would be better. The briefcase brings to mind "business", which would be perfect for TropeCo/ pages, since they're all about (fake) business.
Wait a minute, is Ride/ a namespace? I saw it listed on the sandbox page, and I've never seen it before.

This is Rain. Isn't she pretty? :)
Yes. I added it there. Of course, it did start as an ad hoc namespace.

I'm not LGBT. I just think Rain's really cool. Apologies if my humor gets too painful.
Is it an official namespace, though? Should be easy enough to come up with an icon for (roller-coaster track or vehicle, loop-de-loop, corkscrew...).

Oh... I probably should have shown the new version in its own post rather than updating the original one.
Oh well. Yours is a little odd-looking but would probably show up better on a white backdrop.

It sort of looks like a crown or throne.
Hi
I agree...I kinda see what it's going for but it doesn't quite have it.
Suggestion(s) for Ride if it goes official.
The last one again but transparent background:

I like the last one of those.
Maybe the Game/ icon could be reused for VideoGame/.
