Hey, thanks for creating icons for the wiki community! A similar message was posted to another icon artist, and is now what I hope we can start working towards.

Lately it's come to my attention that the number of files on the wiki has been increasing substantially, mostly due to leadboard verifications and user icons. While I have been clearing the former, I've left all the icons since they are pretty damn good! But, this is a wiki, so the files should be used on profiles, second to the rest being used on articles. If not, I intend for them to be deleted from the file list.

Now, I've found some JavaScript that will allow photos to be uploaded to the wiki from external sites (Photobucket, imgur etc.) through the use of Template:ExternalImageLoader. Copy this and paste it with your own links to share your creations on the wiki:

Create an account on one of these image-hosting sites (if you haven't already), and use either the given share links or right click on the image and choose Copy image location on your uploaded images to use as the "URL" in the template. The "link" part is where clicking on the image takes you. See the template for more details.

If you are able to, backtrack to all the messages you've posted icons on and remove them. Find them quickly from Special:Contributions, also locatable on your profile page. You can then post all your creations using the template onto one big thread, or your profile.

This is a lot to ask, I know, but the taste of good art is persuasive. If you have any questions or problems, I'll try to help as best I can. Thanks.
