At the tops of pages, there's the row of icons for the heartwarming/IJBM/etc. The "moments" icons are there even if the relavent page doesn't exist, but the WMG, IJBM, TT, etc icons aren't unless the page exists. Could they do either one or the other, please?

It's just a shortcut for works pages.

You mean, every possible namespace icon should automatically appear, from Analysis to Fetish Fuel, and from Haiku to Liveblogs?

That would be a stupid long list, but I agree.

Alternatively, it might be worth adding some sort of dropdown menu for "create new subpage", containing all the possible subpage namespaces for that particular page type.

Clicking on an option from the menu would take you to the appropriate namespace's subpage. (Choosing "Quotes" from the "new subpage" menu on Alice and Bob, for instance, would take you to Quotes.Alice And Bob.)

[up][up] That, or have the Moments icons only appear when the relevant page exists.

Would it be possible to have the "moments" icons show up from the related pages (JBM, WMG)?

Bumping and seconding the suggestions for a "create new subpage" dropdown menu and having the "moments" show up from related pages.

The reason the moment icons always exist is an insentive for people to put them there, not on the main page. A reminder.

As people dont put WMG or IJBM on the main page generally, having those icons appears would be pointless.

That being said, a drop down create subpage thing could be handy to avoid some of the Namespace Fails of the past.

Then it would make sense to do the same with YMMV and Fridge icons at least. They often show up in the main page.

So, how about that drop-down menu for making new sub pages?
