[edit] monster skill icons

I advice to remove all monster skill icons that use the "common" Monster skill icon, upload a file named Image:Monster Skill.jpg, and add a line with

| image: [[Monster Skill.jpg]]

to their skill templates. There are some dozen files with the same image and diffrent names, that's nonsense imo. —ZerphaThe Improver 15:44, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

plenty of file templates assumes file names, so it would be a mess. Also, it makes it easier to update if Anet makes an icon for the skill, just upload the new icon vs changing lots of articles. Backsword 15:50, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

yeah, you'd have to add it to every skill. But i don't see a big problem if Anet creates a new icon for a certain monster skill. This does not happen often, and would also not be a great mess. remove the | image line, click on the missing link for the skill and upload. It would have been easier at all to add the | image line instead of uploading the pic everytime, wouldn't it? —ZerphaThe Improver 16:11, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

As I hinted at, the icon is used not only in the infobox template but in several others too, and they are in turn used on more than one page. Backsword 16:13, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

whoops, now i know what you mean. using the skill template for example, right? —ZerphaThe Improver 16:25, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
