 === Icons in sentences ===
-* {{em|Do not}} use icons in flowing text or full sentences.
+* Icons can be used in flowing text, such as before the first word of a paragraph or immediately before the word it is describing the first time a term is mentioned in an article.
-** This also applies to {{code|<nowiki>{{CharLink}}</nowiki>}}, although {{code|<nowiki>{{SmRarityItem}}</nowiki>}} can be used in flowing text.
+* Icons, primarily for those terms which are readily identified by icons (such as conditions and features) can be used in full sentences. Repeat icons may be acceptable in this case.
-** Icons can be used at the start of flowing text (such as before the first word of a paragraph or immediately before the word it is describing) the first time a term is mentioned in an article, and the icon serves an important illustrative purpose.
-** Some icons, primarily those readily identified by an icon (such as conditions and features) 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.
