==Unused Icons==
i see we have a list of unknown icons  but in all reality they are really unUSED icons. i think they should be marked as such and removed from the click list up top -- [[User:Furryfury|Furryfury]] 21:08, 30 May 2011 (UTC)
:How do you ''know'' that they're ''all'' unused?  Just because you don't know of anything that they're used for doesn't mean that they aren't used for anything.  Someone could come in tomorrow and say, "Hey!  I know that!  That's from genie skill X," or "old event pot Y".  Heck, some new item may even get released that uses them too.  You never know.  I think it's better to err on the side of caution and call them "unknown", because that's what they really are. -- [[User:Sangodoc|<span style="color:#CCCCFF;font-weight:bold;">Sangodoc - PWI wiki mod</span>]] [[User talk:Sangodoc|<span style="color:#9999CC;font-weight:bold;">(talk)</span>]] 21:47, 30 May 2011 (PDT)

i still think they should be removed from the quickfinder that the top. it would make it easier for people to find the icons that are frequently used--[[User:Furryfury|Furryfury]] 14:50, 31 May 2011 (PDT)
:But then if you removed the link from the quickfinder image, then just clicking on the icon there would do nothing, which isn't particularly informative.  On the other hand, if you remove the icons from the image, then what does someone do when they know what such an icon does?  It's silly to force them to re-edit the image every time one of those icons gets found, and most people wouldn't even know how to do that properly.  Honestly, I don't think removing them is better than leaving them in. -- [[User:Sangodoc|<span style="color:#CCCCFF;font-weight:bold;">Sangodoc - PWI wiki mod</span>]] [[User talk:Sangodoc|<span style="color:#9999CC;font-weight:bold;">(talk)</span>]] 07:47, 1 June 2011 (PDT)
::Like 50% of the quickfinder is dominated by probably worthless icons.  This makes it harder to find any icon you are looking for.  I think it would be better to just have a table with all the icons on the page as opposed to a difficult to maintain single image.  The image is already missing the new mystic icons.  Loading the icons into a table won't really be slow since all the icons have to be loaded individually for the page anyway.--[[User:Asterelle|Asterelle]] 19:29, 2 June 2011 (PDT)
:::Agreed that what Im trying to get at. there are so many ununsed icons in the quick finders its really easier to find the icons without it Asterelle's idea is a good one--[[User:Furryfury|Furryfury]] 13:43, 3 June 2011 (PDT)

FYI - The Quick Finder image is now updated and includes all possible status icons as of version 537.  I've updated the image shortcuts to the article as well.  Current count is 46 unknown icons out of 189, or just over 24% unknown. -- [[User:Sangodoc|<span style="color:#CCCCFF;font-weight:bold;">Sangodoc - PWI wiki mod</span>]] [[User talk:Sangodoc|<span style="color:#9999CC;font-weight:bold;">(talk)</span>]] 17:22, 5 July 2011 (PDT)
