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

pages that have icons

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/.

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.
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 now go by Graf von Tirol.I suppose that an idea for the Blog/ button would be an RSS Feed symbol or something.
I now go by Graf von Tirol.The cyan d6 is somewhat eye-searing. I'd suggest something like #3399ff, myself.

Please join these multinational petitions against ACTA. Sign up now. Every voice counts.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.
"Oh great! Let's pile up all the useless cats and hope a tree falls on them!"Do we want an icon for And The Fandom Rejoiced? It's just a trope example subpage namespace.


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

I now go by Graf von Tirol.
