Icon for phabricator

We have {{icon|wikidata}} and assorted friends for various MW sites. Please also add some of the other MW sites. The following should be oven-ready:

   mediawiki= {
       image = "MediaWiki-2020-icon.svg",
       tooltip = "MediaWiki",
       link = false,
   },
   phabricator = {
       aliases = {"phab"},
       image = "Favicon-Phabricator-WM.svg",
       tooltip = "Phabricator",
       link = false,

   wikitech= {
       image = "Wikitech-2021-blue-icon.svg",
       tooltip = "Wikitech",
       link = false,
   },

Template-protected edit request on 28 October 2023—add Draft class icon

Could this icon for Draft-Class articles please be added?

Please link to the discussion about this change. – Jonesey95 (talk) 21:51, 28 October 2023 (UTC)

Oh, my bad, I meant to make this on the module page itself, I'm sorry!
e—I had, the button to submit an edit request on the module page links to this page. Did I do something wrong? Remsense聊 23:57, 28 October 2023 (UTC)

To editor Remsense: not at all. The module's talk page is remote and redirects to this page, so you're in the right place. Jonesey95 wants to know if your change to the module enjoys consensus? or are you the only one who favors the addition of the draft icon? P.I. Ellsworth , ed. ^{put'er there} 15:24, 29 October 2023 (UTC)

Paine Ellsworth, I mean, I suppose it seemed perfunctory given how the icon is used in other high-volume templates, inline with expectations about how Wikipedia is structured, but I suppose since {{icon}} is so high-volume, i still should've polled first. — Remsense聊 15:29, 29 October 2023 (UTC)

Information icon

I'd like to request the information icon, seems to be a pretty common and uncontroversial icon used throughout the project.

I've never made a template request change before, but I believe this should look like:

   info = {
       image = "Information icon.svg",
       tooltip = "Information",
       link = false,
   },

I'd like to request the discussion notification icon that is a part of the mw:Extension:Echo. I'll assert that this is a non-controversial addition as this icon is used throughout the project.

Multiple alert icons

example of yellow icon

I'd like to request the set of alert images that go along with File:OOjs UI icon alert-yellow.svg. I'll assert that this is should be a pretty non contreversial addition, but if the sheer number of additions or the incorrect naming is a concern, let me know I'd be happy to discuss.

   alert = {

 Partly done: I've added only four of these. I don't think we need 11 different variations. I picked the widest variations out of the proposed. SWinxy (talk) 20:43, 17 December 2023 (UTC)

Makes sense. You got the ones I was looking for, the only reason I added so many was because I thought if I was going through to request one and they're all grouped together, I might as well write it out for all of them. I suppose if anyone wants them in the future, they're welcome to re-open this request. Thanks @SWinxy!

Edit request to complete TfD nomination

Template:Icon has been listed at Templates for discussion (nomination), but it was protected, so it could not be tagged. Please add:

{{subst:tfm|help=off|type=disabled|1=Mop}}

to the top of the page to complete the nomination. Thank you. ‍—‍a smart kitten_[meow] 22:20, 27 February 2024 (UTC)

Huh, Twinkle submitted this edit request for me. Didn't know that an edit to this template would be needed for proposing that another template is merged into it (I was just planning to drop a note at this talk page); but, then again, I think this is the first TfD I've filed. Best, ‍—‍a smart kitten_[meow] 22:23, 27 February 2024 (UTC)

If this edit request is done, it might be worth wrapping the tfm notice in <noinclude></noinclude>, as the similar notice at {{mop}} seemed to mess with the bullet-points at WP:MWP until I noincluded that one. ‍—‍a smart kitten_[meow] 22:30, 27 February 2024 (UTC)

Template-protected edit request, May 21, 2024

The relevant lines seem to be 55–58.   doesn't function as intended with images and is causing {{Icon link}} to render improperly. The module should probably be adjusted to output in the format <span class="nowrap">[[File:Example icon]] <span class="wrap">[[Example link]]</span></span>. (With thanks to Stjn, who helped figure this out.) —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 00:12, 22 May 2024 (UTC)

Could you make your changes to Module:Icon/sandbox and do some tests? — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 07:15, 22 May 2024 (UTC)

I'm not seeing the issue? Agree though that this should be sandboxed to show definite before/after behaviour. Primefac (talk) 12:04, 22 May 2024 (UTC)

I don't know enough about Lua to be able to produce this result in the module sandbox, but I did experiment with the proposed changes in my sandbox. If you change the width of the window, it should demonstrate the issue I'm talking about — proposed changes are on top and {{Icon link}} is below. —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 14:17, 22 May 2024 (UTC)

I would suggest <span class="nowrap">[[File:Example icon]] </span>[[Example link]] to make just the first space non-breaking, not also the space between "example" and "link". (That would just be fixing what the   is presumably intended to do.) I have sandboxed my suggested change, but have not currently tested it (aside from checking that it works here on my phone).

The proposed changes are to synchronize this module with the presentation of {{Article history}}. Per this discussion at the FAC talk page, there is consensus to use the former phrasing instead of failed. I'm also proposing to make the icon for former FACs consistent with former FLCs, which also helps distinguish them at a glance from former FAs.

I don't believe this should be accepted. From WP:FA:

the wiki software converts to a PNG of inferior quality

I also believe their mass edits should all be reverted. _ZZ^Z'S 03:40, 17 September 2024 (UTC)

It really does, the generated pngs have no aliasing for some reason. --PresN 03:43, 17 September 2024 (UTC)

Ah, I see this issue has been discussed at T40010.

In a recent discussion in WikiProject Mathematics yet another rendering bug was encountered. Several users expressed the sentiment that SVG support in MediaWiki will never get fixed, and it is better to give up on them altogether and revert to PNGs. This is specially frustrating because the browsers can render the SVG correctly, but MediaWiki insists on passing it through librsvg and serving the resulting garbage instead.

"User-Class article" does not make sense to me. User pages are not articles. Is there a discussion that led to this request? Please give an example of a couple of pages that this icon would be used on, and how it would be invoked. – Jonesey95 (talk) 16:28, 5 October 2024 (UTC)

@Ahecht Uh wouldn't really know where other than this template talk to ask for a discussion on this. Doesn't seem all that controversial and akin to the previous Draft icon and Barnstars icon requests. At least I made this request with the precedent of those previous requests in mind. Soulbust (talk) 23:03, 7 October 2024 (UTC)

@Soulbust This discussion is fine, but there needs to be consensus established before you use the {{Edit template-protected}} template, and as Jonesey95 has lodged an objection, this isn't a non-controversial change so the conversation needs to run its course first. --Ahecht (TALK
PAGE) 00:14, 8 October 2024 (UTC)

OK, I see. That is a very broken naming system, but fixing it is not a topic for this page. The idea that Template talk:Analytic philosophy would be tagged with Category:Template-Class Philosophy articles instead of Category:Template-Class Philosophy pages is silly, but I see why it happens; nobody cares enough to fix it. I have implemented this change. Please ping me if it doesn't work. – Jonesey95 (talk) 00:31, 8 October 2024 (UTC)

Hi yes, I thought the same thing actually when typing out my initial request. But I noticed how all the "-Class" categories followed that format using "articles". I agree, if it's a Template-Class or User-Class, it should probably be "pages" instead of "articles". Soulbust (talk) 11:21, 8 October 2024 (UTC)
