Forum talk:Item icons

How will this be used? Poultry(talk) the God-Slayer 18:08, 29 May 2016 (EDT)

Um see the page. I clearly show how each page will be affected. Serpent King 19:34, 29 May 2016 (EDT)

I'm not so sure about this. Universe pages are already heavy, so adding more images for items when they already have them for characters and stages seems like a bit much to me. The icons aren't particularly crucial for the item pages themselves, since they're only ever used in the item select and aren't nearly as essential as say, character head icons. And the item list table seems like it would be harder to read with those images, although that might just be me comparing the Poke Ball to the icon. Miles (talk) 20:32, 29 May 2016 (EDT)

As for the Universe pages, that's exactly why I want the icons: because they have the characters' and stages' icons, so it's a consistency thing. I am totally ok with leaving the item pages alone, unless they are in need of graphics anyway (which some are). As for the items page, it would be no different from the characters page...so yeah.

The difference is that characters and stages are a required part of any Smash match; items are optional. It seems like a good place to have the line drawn to keep universe pages from getting ridiculous.

As for the item table, I've already mentioned on Talk:Item that the whole thing needs a re-work anyway. I'm just not sure the icons would be a great idea for that. I guess maybe it would be okay if we didn't use to indicate "lack of appearance", like on the character page, although I'm still not 100% sold. Miles (talk) 20:44, 29 May 2016 (EDT)
