Hey, what's the URL of the photoshop template again? -Derik 16:59, 22 June 2009 (EDT)

I put it back in the GB image category where it's supposed to be... it had its description and Category obliterated in the Bookworm recovery. --M Sipher 17:08, 22 June 2009 (EDT)

GoBox images

Because nothing actually links the two of these together. --Monzo 20:19, 20 December 2009 (EST)

Bumper has one too many

Talk:Bumper (G1). Yeah, I'm not quite sure how to fix this, being inexperienced. But I think Template:Goicons is the place to go. Item42 15:05, 15 February 2010 (EST)

I'm thinking that pretty much all of our featured articles need Go-Boxes. Some of them already have 'em (Cheetor, Seekers) but others don't (Jhiaxus, B.O.T.). Given that we have some boxes that are linking to some really under-loved articles, why not link to our best ones? I may make this a little pet project of mine. -hx 22:10, 27 February 2010 (EST)

ETA - I added Jhiaxus, ROTF Jetfire, and Sideways. I made a B.O.T. one, but I'm not really pleased with it. -hx 22:45, 27 February 2010 (EST)
I had a go at making a B.O.T. icon. Better? :) --abates 23:23, 27 February 2010 (EST)

Couple a questions/requests

  • If a page gets moved, there's nothing to indicate whether or not it's got a goicon that needs a link change. I'm thinking a goicon image template containing both a link to the goicon template and the relating page would at least raise awareness if links are fixed manually, but perhaps something can be programmed that's more effective?
  • Does a page needs to meet any requirements before it can has a goicon?
  • Do we actually have a "one goicon per page" rule, and if so, are separate goicons for subpages allowed and what does one do if one prefers to see another image used for a goicon? Should permission for a change be requested first (case in point, I would prefer a goicon image for Overlord from a Japanese source)?
  • Would anybody object to Animated Starscream's goicon being repurposed for Animated Slipstream? I always end up confused I'm not reaching her page when I click it. Geewunling 02:19, 7 June 2011 (EDT)
