Classic WoW Wiki:WoW Icons


 * Tusva has started a major cleanup job of our in-game icon repository, cleaning out duplicates, fixing naming, and categorizing them all under Category:WoW Icons. A big round of applause is in order from the rest of us, and if you want to help out, look below, or talk to Tusva if you have any questions!

WoW Icons Organization Agenda
>  Step 1: Using a master list of in-game icons, comb through the existing WoWWiki Uploaded Icons and ascertain the filename is correct and then be categorized initially according to filename. Where icons are missing, they will be uploaded with a .png with transparency available. This also includes marking for deletion the icons that have been uploaded with incorrect filenames, and their associated articles corrected as well. (COMPLETE, --Tusva 17:43, 23 September 2006 (EDT))

 >  Step 2: A quality check will be made on all icons, replacing those that suffer from the cyan-blue background disorder, or other low quality issues. An attempt will be made to replace these and other icons with a .PNG with background transparency for maximum WoWWiki flexibility. We will also begin monitoring articles for icon-usage, and correcting/placing where needed.

>  Step 3: Once the list is complete, a thorough, searchable keyword list/directory will be assembled, both in a mini-table form and a full page form. The goal is to make it very easy for someone to locate an icon with minimal knowledge about it. This includes additional cross-referenced categories. IN PROGRESS
