Topic on Project talk:Calendar

Yes, I also want to have consistent icons for the areas defined at How to contribute. In fact I have collected many, see the slides for I'm drafting this week for FOSDEM.

Nice! I like many of your choices. I hope that we'll come to a point where we have a set of reusable, consistent and recognizable icons across mediums (wiki pages, blog posts, slides, etc.).

Don't forget to add the proper credits in your slides where required. It's easy to do in a presentation, but it's a bit trickier to show credits on wiki pages, because when we use them as icons, we usually use the link= parameter to hijack the image's link (that would otherwise have led to the image credits). For events and the calendar, I've found a good enough workaround (credits are listed on Template:Event/doc and linked to from Template:Event header), but we'll need to make sure we show or link to proper credits wherever we use those icons.

Perhaps we should start listing the icons somewhere (other than the template's doc) to have a central place both to define our visual language, and also to list proper credits. Maybe Project:Visual identity?

Nemo started a topic at Talk:How_to_contribute#Icons_23333 so let's move the discussion there. I'm happy to agree on good ideas about proper attribution and link=. I'm not familiar with Project: pages and the deal about them, but as usual I trust you.  :) Let's just make sure it is linked with Wikimedia Foundation Design/Agora Icon Set and that is shared at the Design list.

Thanks; I've copied my message there to avoid splitting the discussion.
