	potd  = {

This will add a Picture of the Day icon matching the TFA/TFL icons. Headbomb { t · c · p · b} 16:25, 12 June 2022 (UTC) reply

To editor Headbomb: curious as to why the double-double quotation marks in the image line? Is that correct or just a key bounce? P.I. Ellsworth ,  ed.  ^put'r there 18:03, 14 June 2022 (UTC) reply

@ Paine Ellsworth: fixed. Likely from an over-enthusiatic text editor that likes to insert double quotes when you type on (same for brackets, etc...). Headbomb { t · c · p · b} 18:55, 14 June 2022 (UTC) reply

Hi, could we add an icon for File:Current event clock.svg, or something similar? (Maybe titled {{icon|current event}} or {{icon|current}}?) This would be useful to denote current events that are not news events (not "itn", in the news) – that globe/clock icon also seems too small to be clear in some situations.

I can't see a way to display the clock in a template without posting the file directly. Sorry if I'm missing something.

The clock file is already used in Template:Infobox recurring event, World Athletics Championships, NBA Finals, Biathlon World Cup and some others. If an icon is possible, I'm intending to add that icon to the NFL and Major League Baseball navigation boxes, which have their current season listed, but no icon as it isn't technically feasible.

Writing {{icon|4A}} displays , the DYK icon, even though it should logically display the Four Award one (). Can someone please fix this? Nehme ₁₄₉₉ 14:25, 6 August 2022 (UTC) reply

Also, when clicking on the icon itself: some redirect to the commons file page, while others don't. Is this intentional? Nehme ₁₄₉₉ 14:46, 20 August 2022 (UTC) reply

The portal peer review and peer review icons ( , ) have links going to a .png version of the file, even though a .svg version exists. Unless there's something I'm missing, I think these icons should link to the .svg version instead. Neuroxic ( talk) 15:16, 17 September 2022 (UTC) reply

Please link to the discussion about this change. – Jonesey95 ( talk) 21:51, 28 October 2023 (UTC) reply

Oh, my bad, I meant to make this on the module page itself, I'm sorry!
e—I had, the button to submit an edit request on the module page links to this page. Did I do something wrong? Remsense 聊 23:57, 28 October 2023 (UTC) reply

To editor Remsense: not at all. The module's talk page is remote and redirects to this page, so you're in the right place. Jonesey95 wants to know if your change to the module enjoys consensus? or are you the only one who favors the addition of the draft icon? P.I. Ellsworth ,  ed.  ^{put'er there} 15:24, 29 October 2023 (UTC) reply

Paine Ellsworth, I mean, I suppose it seemed perfunctory given how the icon is used in other high-volume templates, inline with expectations about how Wikipedia is structured, but I suppose since {{ icon}} is so high-volume, i still should've polled first. —  Remsense 聊 15:29, 29 October 2023 (UTC) reply

I'd like to request the information icon, seems to be a pretty common and uncontroversial icon used throughout the project.

I've never made a template request change before, but I believe this should look like:

   info = {
       image = "Information icon.svg",
       tooltip = "Information",
       link = false,
   },

I'd like to request the discussion notification icon that is a part of the mw:Extension:Echo. I'll assert that this is a non-controversial addition as this icon is used throughout the project.

I'd like to request the set of alert images that go along with File:OOjs UI icon alert-yellow.svg. I'll assert that this is should be a pretty non contreversial addition, but if the sheer number of additions or the incorrect naming is a concern, let me know I'd be happy to discuss.

 Partly done: I've added only four of these. I don't think we need 11 different variations. I picked the widest variations out of the proposed. SWinxy ( talk) 20:43, 17 December 2023 (UTC) reply

Makes sense. You got the ones I was looking for, the only reason I added so many was because I thought if I was going through to request one and they're all grouped together, I might as well write it out for all of them. I suppose if anyone wants them in the future, they're welcome to re-open this request. Thanks @ SWinxy!

Huh, Twinkle submitted this edit request for me.
