:Do you mean the icon image, or how the icon gets applied when you call {{tem|icon}}? For the former, it depends. Icons from Pikmin 2 come directly from the Piklopedia textures in the game. Other icons are created by grabbing official art (or similar), and adding a black border around it. For the template, it's a very complicated template, but basically, it grabs the name of the subject you send to the template, and places the file called <code>File:<subject> icon.png</code>. This works because on the wiki, all of our icon files have that sort of file name, so the template can just place them down like that directly. — '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 04:04, 12 December 2018 (EST) | :Do you mean the icon image, or how the icon gets applied when you call {{tem|icon}}?

:::Anybody can make icons, but they should be consistent with the ones already on the wiki. If you're thinking about making custom designs like the [[:Category:Obstacle icons|obstacle icons]], then you really have to make them in a similar design. What do you need to create icons of? — '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 11:52, 29 December 2018 (EST) | |||
