All-Purpose Namespace Icon Thread: Sandbox.Namespace Icons

Go To

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.

Updating the list of un-OPed suggestions, as we are at a new page anyways:

  • Advertising/
  • ComicStrip/
  • Creator/
  • DrinkingGame/ (among other suggestions including other wineglass pictures, a shot glass or a beer stein)
  • Machinima/
  • Roleplay/
  • VisualNovel/
  • WebAnimation/
  • WebVideo/

We might consider replacing the Creator/ icon with the SoYouWantTo/ icon. IMHO the latter looks better, and as both icons are a quill and inkpot, they just as well might look the same. Or we might make a copy of the SoYouWantTo/ inkpot with a slightly different coloration and use it for Creator/.

[up] Shimaspawn already said SoYouWantTo/ is not changing, IIRC.

I thought that was Fighteer who said existing namespace icons won't change.

We could just use the same icon twice, couldn't we?

I don't think the same page is ever going to have both a Creator and a So You Want To entry.

[up]That's a good point.

[up][up][up] Double-checked. Shima's the one who said it with her mod-hat on, on the last page, so...

[up] (regarding 228): I did not suggest replacing the SoYouWantTo/ icon, I suggested replacing the Creator/ submission with the SoYouWantTo/ icon.

Edit (@230): Thanks, that's what I was trying to say.

I personally don't see why SoYouWantTo/ would have its own icon, given that very little (if any) other namespace share the same Wiki Word title as those in that namespace. Just sayin'.

I suppose that an idea for the Blog/ button would be an RSS Feed symbol or something.

[up] That might confuse people who think it's an actual RSS feed.

We could copy the Liveblog icon. Blog, liveblog, same general idea, right?

Does Franchise/ have an icon? I can't tell, but it should if it doesn't.

The cyan d6 is somewhat eye-searing. I'd suggest something like #3399ff, myself.

[up] I fixed the link...for future reference - the quoteright function works in the forums but makes posts look weird. The die looks good.

Just FYI, the Creator/ namespace includes things like actors, not just people who actually write (no snideness intended). Do we really want a quill for those?

Does And The Fandom Rejoiced have an icon? (I find it unlikely that it does.) If not, a party hat would be perfect for it.

[up][up]If it will help remind people that our pages are supposed to be about the actor's work as a creator, and not about how hot they are, then I would say definitely, yes. :)

Icons are 16 px2, right? I'll see what I can do.

How about something like this as a base?

Do we want an icon for And The Fandom Rejoiced? It's just a trope example subpage namespace.

[up]Well, there have been several works given their own page exclusively for it, so we might as well.
