:::::::::...We don't exactly appreciate the implication that it's ''on us'' that somebody else didn't ask us what the proposal was about before they started slapping delete templates everywhere. {{User:Camwoodstock/sig}} 14:21, May 14, 2024 (EDT)

::::::::::I don't think that's what me & {{@|Hewer}} are meaning. [[User:SONIC123CDMANIA+&K(B&ATSA)|SONIC123CDMANIA+&K(B&ATSA)]] ([[User talk:SONIC123CDMANIA+&K(B&ATSA)|talk]]) 14:26, May 14, 2024 (EDT)

::::::::::Yeah that's not what I meant in the slightest. I was just trying to provide context for what the thing was that Doc was referring to. {{User:Hewer/sig}} 14:28, May 14, 2024 (EDT)
::::::I know the proposal won't delete the icons (though some supporters clearly do want that, while others don't seem to), but what it will do is have the wiki go out of its way to hinder its presentation of these icons for no good reason. I see no reason to define "your average reader" and pander to this non-existent person's supposed needs - that just feels like a more complex way of saying what you personally want to happen. "Your average reader" probably isn't interested in many, many, many things on this wiki, but that doesn't make their inclusion invalid, because another reader might go seeking those things. If the reader doesn't find something interesting, they're free to ignore it, that's not our problem. Our goal as a wiki isn't to only include the stuff we subjectively deem interesting, but to provide complete coverage on the whole franchise so any reader can find the information they seek about the franchise, whatever it may be. {{User:Hewer/sig}} 13:21, May 14, 2024 (EDT)
