Better length icon

I don't like the length icons based on {{alr}}, very nonintuitive. I'd like instead, a vertical progress bar, that would start with 1k stubs at the bottom, and maybe about 2/3 of the way up would mark the threshold size for "could be split" at WP:SIZESPLIT, and then 4/5 of the way up, the threshold for "definitely should be split". The "mercury"/progress ink should be green at the bottom, should switch to amber after the "probably split" point, and should be red when it passes the definitely split point. The "bulb" can go, and rounding, if any, should be minimal; it's just a vertical length indicator based on page size as a proportion of the split thresholds. Not sure what name to give it. As far as techniques, see {{Thermometer}} and {{Progress bar}}, but the latter is way too complex for what we need. Height should be similar to the other icons, and should have a thin solid border to show how much is left. Mathglot (talk) 03:49, 19 February 2024 (UTC)

Working on Draft:Article length bar, which is kinda working, but displays as a block element when it should display as block-inline. Don't know why yet. Mathglot (talk) 09:56, 19 February 2024 (UTC)

Vital article

Add icon for Vital article level (perhaps followed by hyphen and digit, as seen at Vital article Tfd merger proposal), and a similar unicode character for raw mode, e.g. either ◎: U+25CE Bullseye; ⌾: U+233E Apl Functional Symbol Circle Jot, or ⦾: U+29BE Circled White Bullet.

As a result of this discussion, we can use {{#invoke:Vital article|isVital|page=Sam Rayburn}} ⟶ 5 for this. Mathglot (talk) 08:49, 13 June 2024 (UTC)

 Done. Mathglot (talk) 16:03, 14 June 2024 (UTC)

Better vital article level indicator

As an alternative to having a superscript digit to indicate the vital article level, e.g. ³, perhaps we could have the concentric circles overlaid by a digit. Or, change to a series of circles, where the number of rings is the level, for example:

• 1 = or
• 2 =
• 3 =
• 4 =

but that leaves one needed for level 5. Another approach would be to reduplicate the level 3 icon, so that for level 2, we would have two stacked one on top of the other, three would be a triangle of them, and so forth. This might require assistance from the Graphics lab. Mathglot (talk) 02:42, 25 November 2024 (UTC)
