Excellent! I will add a recommendation about image redirects, and I will suggest that users do not tag redirects (files or articles) as "Suggested for Deletion". As for the categories, I'll have a look later! [[User:Willowisp|Willowisp]] ([[User talk:Willowisp|talk]]) 14:24, 28 September 2023 (CEST) | Excellent!

: I'm hesitant to go behind the backs of editors who have got very adamant that this is totally outrageous. But as status-quo has been strongly stated to trump style guidance, and it is claimed to be that only the controller radial menu items should ever be uploaded and used as icons, it means overwriting pretty much every sprite sheet icon. It has been met with extreme criticism to suggest that instead of mass overwriting of what are literally the only icons that are ''always'' used by the game in some way no matter what, we could just upload controller icons as {{C|Page_Name_C_Icon.fileextension}}, {{C|_CON_Icon}}, or something. Ignoring that all these rules about the status-quo are not mentioned anywhere, I don't understand why there is even a downside to this, let alone such negativity in response. | |||
: Mentioning this concept has led to me being told I should just leave the wiki for now, and I agree wholeheartedly, so I couldn't see the downside of at least mentioning it here. It seems needlessly destructive, and from my perspective, no evidence it is more than the sole decision of two people. I'm not trying to cause more anger and conflict, I just figure that if I do get back, this is the place I am most likely to read a level-headed response as to why the only images the game consistently uses, can't even be uploaded, let alone even used for things like passive icons on character sheets. | |||
: On a related note, some mention here or on a help page on status-quo, and how it is decided and set in stone might save someone else unwittingly stumbling into a minefield after making what were good-faith edits and asking questions about them. The whole thing is utterly bewildering to me, but whatever the outcome, when checking in again, seeing something beyond hearsay about the finer points of all this would really be something.
