Pikipedia currently has game icons for the four main-series games, the two spin-off games, and ''Pikmin Adventure''. These are able to cover most articles on the wiki, but there are some they don't cover: the articles about the {{ssbs}}. These pages look a bit strange without the game icon in the top-right corner in my opinion. I have created an icon file to represent ''Super Smash Bros.'', and it looks like this: {{icon|Super Smash Bros.}}. I propose that we add this icon into Template:Game icons, and implement it on the wiki as a neater way of categorizing articles into [[:Category:Super Smash Bros. series]]. &mdash; [[User:Soprano|'''Soprano''']]<sub>[[User talk:Soprano|''(talk)'']]</sub> 05:26, April 24, 2023 (EDT)

:I disagree. Having the icons wouldn't help the reader, and it would give unnecessary focus to the fact that those subjects are about Smash, on the same level that we focus on things that are for P2, for instance. &mdash; '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 11:34, May 15, 2023 (EDT)

== Update the icon for ''Pikmin'' ==
Currently, the icons used in each article to showcase what game(s) they appear in use the numbers from the original logo, and a "P" for {{p1}}. While the numbered games, this is clear, a "P" for {{p1}} might not initially be clear. However, there is a solution. to use the "1" from ''[[Pikmin 1 (Nintendo Switch)]]'''s logo.

:While this would make it more clear what games the icons refer to, there are a couple of problems with this idea. First, it would be inconsistent with how the icons are used in the {{tem|Infobox user}} template. Second, it would introduce potential inconsistencies in the style of the icons. Currently most of the game icons have different styles, but changing the icons for ''Pikmin'' and ''Pikmin 2'' would make them in the same style as ''Pikmin 4''{{'s}} icon. This would make the ''Pikmin 3'' icon look inconsistent with the other 3 numbered game icons, as it has a different style of leaves behind the number. This could potentially be solved by uploading a new version of that icon that uses the number from the new {{p3d}} logo, but if a future ''Pikmin'' game is numbered and has a different style of leaves behind the number, then it will be inconsistent with the other numbered game icons. I think it's better to have diverse icon styles like we currently do rather than have them be mostly in the same style with 1 or 2 exceptions. This is assuming that we change the ''Pikmin 2'' icon alongside the ''Pikmin'' icon; we could just change the ''Pikmin'' icon, but that would be inconsistent in a different way, as it would be using a new version of the icon for only 1 game when these new versions were made for multiple games. &mdash; [[User:Soprano|'''Soprano''']]<sub>[[User talk:Soprano|''(talk)'']]</sub> 04:42, January 5, 2025 (EST)
