Protect the icons?

Given that these icons are visible on the Main Page, shouldn't they be protected, similar to every other image on the Main Page? --ENUSY 23:10, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

Yes. Consider it done. Loafing 00:26, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

Given that this template and others (as well as their images) are protected in some way (at least on autoconfirm) shouldn't this template be proctected as well? --Stux 11:37, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

Potential SBCG4AP Icon

Is this a good picture to display on the template when a new SBCG4AP episode comes out? BBG 04:05, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

Actually, I'm starting to fear too much detail would be lost if the picture shrunk. Should we use an image featuring only the control pad? BBG 14:10, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

Not entirely sure if we should have a special icon just for SBCG4AP, though I would agree that just the D-pad would be a better icon than the entire Wiimote. wbwolf (t | ed) 14:14, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

I tagged the remote picture and uploaded a picture of the control pad: Image:Wii Pad.PNG BBG 15:04, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

This test shows that the D-pad alone is probably better. — Defender1031*Talk 15:10, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

So, to end discussion, yes or no to adding the icon? SuperfieldCreditUnion

I don't see why not. but it should be re-uploaded at 21 pixels under the proper convention name to fit the template. — Defender1031*Talk 18:25, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

I'd kinda like to see it in context before forming an opinion. As it is, it just looks like a big plus, or maybe a medic symbol. — It's dot com 18:34, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

This kind of context? I think the full wiimote one just gets lost -- at least, I hardly notice it. Plus if I didn't know what it was, I'm not sure I'd be able to figure it out. Kind of meh about the d-pad though, I think I like the old-school joystick.  Green Helmet 19:04, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

The old-school joystick is for videlectrix old-school games. This is a different category of game, no? Not saying the D-pad is best, but we should have something to differentiate between it and the other games, IMO. — Defender1031*Talk 19:06, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

How 'bouts a Wii console? SuperfieldCreditUnion

The D-pad could work, I think for me it just doesn't evoke gameplay, probably because I don't own and have never even played a Wii. For the sake of argument though, maybe the Strong Bad Gameways logo? This image we've already got could be edited to crop just the "badge" out, maybe. (The "badge" itself is about 26px by 13px in this preview). Or the D-pad, I'm just making things complicated. ;)  Green Helmet 19:20, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
