== | == Icons == | ||
Icons accompanying a term or link, commonly used via templates on BG3Wiki, should be used when they serve an illustrative purpose, or serve as a visual aid to improve readability, such as under the following circumstances: | |||
* When a term is used as a keyword or in a list, as opposed to in a full sentence. | |||
* When used in a table, and the icon improves the readability of the table. | |||
Icons should {{em|never}} be used in section headers. | |||
=== Spoiler and content warnings | === Icons in sentences === | ||
* {{em|Do not}} use icons in flowing text or full sentences, except for illustrative, technical and introductory purposes: | |||
** Icons can be used in flowing text the first time a term is mentioned in an article, and the icon serves an important illustrative purpose. | |||
** Icons can be used in full sentences of technical descriptions of item, action or feature properties when they serve as a useful visual cue to the reader. Repeat icons may be acceptable in this case. | |||
=== Icon frequency === | |||
* Avoid overuse of icons, particularly in already icon dense paragraphs. | |||
* Do not unnecessarily repeat icons. | |||
* Do not introduce a term with an icon multiple times in an article. | |||
== Spoiler and content warnings == | |||
