I was thinking about weapon icons (as in [[:template:icon]]). In prose, it seems all right to say "3 x water" &c, but I thought if we are going to be using the icon images anyway, is "[[Image:BE Stat Water Attack.gif]][[Image:BE Stat Water Attack.gif]][[Image:BE Stat Water Attack.gif]]" not better? What do you think? --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 10:40, 25 August 2011 (CDT) | I was thinking about weapon icons (as in [[:template:icon]]).

I tried it | :When I was first experimenting with weapons/ability tables, I though as you did: That using three images to represent three icons would be the right thing to do. I tried it four a bit, and I'll admit that it looks pretty good for weapons that only have a few icons. But when you get to weapons that have more that six icons, it starts looking terrible and becomes COMPLETELY unreadable. As an example, pretend you don't know how many icons of damage a Super Attack Pea does. Which is more readable: | ||
:Super Attack Pea: {{icon|12|Air}} {{icon|20|Earth}} | :Super Attack Pea: {{icon|12|Air}} {{icon|20|Earth}} | ||

:In the first example, you can glean the number of icons in a second. ("It does 12 air and 20 earth!") In the second example, you have to carefully count and recount the icons to make sure that you have the number right. ("Let see, it does a bunch of air icons, but how many? 1..2..3..4...5..6..7...Wait, was I on six or seven? >_< Now I have to start over. 1..2..3..4..5..6") - [[User:Emeraldosprey|Emerald Osprey]] 12:42, 25 August 2011 (CDT) | :In the first example, you can glean the number of icons in a second.
