Template talk:Extended confirmed topicon
New Padlock Icon
[edit]SportsFan007 yes, I know. But someone needs to create a proper icon as with File:Wikipedia_extended_confirmed.svg, with the wikipedia logo in the background and the padlock unlocked. Otherwise it looks like the userpages it is transcluded on are extended confirmed protected when they are not. Galobtter (pingó mió) 16:46, 14 November 2018 (UTC)
@Galobtter: Ah ok, that makes sense, thank you! SportsFan007 (talk) 16:49, 14 November 2018 (UTC)SportsFan007
- @SportsFan007, Galobtter, and SemiHypercube: Before changing the user privilege topicons, we should have a proper discussion to plan how they should look with the new design. Right now the extended-confirmed icon is the odd man out without the Wikipedia globe, and just looks weird. I thought the unlocked icons were for cases where the user already had the necessary privileges on a protected page, not for the user topicon. If we plan to use it as such, we need a version with the globe behind it. — AfroThundr (u · t · c) 15:55, 15 November 2018 (UTC)
- @SemiHypercube: could you please place a reference here to the Village Pump discussion about this (that you referenced in your edit description)? Thanks! - tucoxn\talk 16:49, 15 November 2018 (UTC)
- Thanks for posting that in-progress discussion. I agree with AfroThundr that we should have a proper discussion before changing the user privilege topicons. It seems from the Village Pump discussion that this updated icon was a sandbox version and not finalized. Given that, maybe it should be changed back until we fully have that discussion (and can uniformly update all the similar topicons)? - tucoxn\talk 17:05, 15 November 2018 (UTC)
New globe and padlock icon
[edit]In keeping with the style of the current user permission icons, I've hacked together a version using the new extended confirmed padlock. In the file history you can see another variant (link) with the padlock straight open, which is what I was originally going with, until I decided having the shackle facing out more closely matched the original logo. Improvements are welcome, as I'm not an SVG guru. What do you guys think? — AfroThundr (u · t · c) 17:51, 15 November 2018 (UTC)
- Looks nice! Galobtter (pingó mió) 18:07, 15 November 2018 (UTC)
- The shackle's contrast with the globe's interior is a bit too low. – XYZt (talk | contribs) – 19:39, 15 November 2018 (UTC)
- I haven't tweaked any of the colors to make them work better. If anyone wants to take a crack at fixing the contrast with the shackle and the globe interior, feel free. I imagine making the shackle a bit lighter would do the trick, and would be the easiest way, since the globe is a far more complex object to tinker with. — AfroThundr (u · t · c) 02:21, 16 November 2018 (UTC)

- I hadn't seen this conversation when I made changes, sorry. Per Xaosflux's suggestion at the Village Pump, I've added a
legacy=
flag. Thanks ProgrammingGeek talktome 20:02, 15 November 2018 (UTC)- Thanks for that, now those who prefer the old version can keep it. :) — AfroThundr (u · t · c) 02:21, 16 November 2018 (UTC)
