Talk:Game icons

I'm working around icons and I've noticed several issues. Some of them are well-known, long-standing questions, others seem to be not so well-known. I guess that will keep me busy for some time.
 * I'll start with the easiest-looking problem (for me). Icon size is specified as 32px, 36px and even 40px in different places, and different templates. Why? Did I miss something? I *seem* to remember an icon larger than 32px, but I've checked and re-checked my archive and back-log and couldn't find it. So...
 * Are there objections if I start cropping them all to 32px and correcting templates accordingly?

 * Well... Depends on exactly what you mean. Can you list the templates and the icon sizes used that you are talking about?  There are reasons that some are different sizes.  That said, I'm usually for consistency...  ShoeMaker (Contributions • Message) 14:49, August 21, 2014 (EDT)
 * OK...
 * Take the following icons as examples of the variety of icon format and appearance (selecting the following text can be a quick way to visualize extra border):
 * [[File:Icon Feat Generic Martial Arts Passive.png]] Icon Feat Generic Martial Arts Passive.png, is 32px wide; passive octagon; transparent; no border (here "border" = "extra pixels outside the icon's own built-in border)
 * [[File:Icon Feat Composite Plating.png]] Icon Feat Composite Plating.png is 34px wide; passive octagon; transparent; no border, but the octagon's border itself is wider than the previous icon's (due to different uploaders, I reckon)
 * [[File:Sorc FireSavant.png]] File:Sorc FireSavant.png is 36px wide; passive octagon; transparent; transparent border
 * [[File:Icon Feat Acrobatic.png]] ''Icon Feat Acrobatic.png, is 40px wide; passive octagon; not transparent, white background, no border
 * [[File:BelovedOfSilverFlame.png]] BelovedOfSilverFlame.png is 36px wide; passive octagon; not transparent, black background, black border
 * [[File:Icon Amaunators Brilliance.png]] Icon Amaunators Brilliance.png is 32px wide; active square; no border
 * [[File:BladeswornTransformation.png]] BladeswornTransformation.png is 36px wide; active square; black border
 * AFAICT, the following templates use 32px icons:
 * Template:ClothingJewelryTOC
 * Template:Collectable2
 * Template:Enhancement table/itemwlvl
 * Template:Instantdelete
 * Template:Named Clothing
 * Template:Named Jewelry
 * Template:Quiver
 * Template:V Desc box
 * The following templates use 36px icons:
 * Template:Feat Brief/Top
 * Template:Feat Brief/nolink1
 * Template:Feat Brief/nolink2
 * Template:Feat Brief
 * Template:Feat
 * Template:OrgClicky
 * Template:SpellBook1
 * Template:SpellBook2
 * Template:SpellBook3
 * Template:SpellBook/sandbox
 * The following templates use 40px icons:
 * Template:HirelingCommand
 * Template:Hireling
 * I may have missed a few icon "styles" and templates (and as a matter of fact, I *feel* I did miss some, but can't find them again).
 * Thoughts?
