In the time I've spent on this very wiki, one thing I've always appreciated are the Namespace icons. They're handy little images near the tabs that provide some character and color to the pages. However, from what I've observed, the only Media namespaces that don't have their own icons are Animation, Art, Manhua, Myth, Script, Theatre, and Wiki. This has been bugging me for some time, and I want to hear your ideas not only for possible icons, but how we could incorporate namespace icons in the comments below.

There's nothing we can do about them until the admins choose to focus on them which is unlikely to happen anytime soon

Even if we won't be able to truly implement namespace icons, it would be fun for us to propose our own, wouldn't it?

Eh, yeah, I suppose that's fine to do.

That's a pretty great idea, I was thinking about how to create other icons the other day! I was told that new icons can be suggested on the Wishlist of the site, but they might take a while to be considered. I suggested a paint pallete with a brush for the Art/ namespace, what would you think?

There was an icon for the discontinued namespace Theater/ (note the spelling difference from Theatre/).

There still is. It urks me a little that it was never corrected.
