This is a proposal to standardize the icons used in templates and MediaWiki messages on the English Wikipedia. The current icon scheme is an inconsistent combination of Nuvola and Nuvola-based icons, Tango and Tango-based icons, icons created for en.wikipedia (such as the original "Stop Hand" and "Octagon Warning" images, now replaced by "Web 2.0"-style Nuvola-based icons), and several failed standardization schemes (including the "ambox" icons and "Norro style 1").
The following examples can be looked at for inspiration:
Icons for (speedy) deletion templates shall use the color derived from the hex code b32322 .
Serious
Icons for templates for major warnings and problems (content issues, etc.) shall use the color derived from the hex code ed8406 .
Content
Icons for templates for minor warnings and problems (content issues, etc.) shall use the color derived from the hex code f2cd40 .
Style
Icons for templates for page notices shall use the color derived from the hex code 3165ab .
Notice
Icons for templates for merge, split and transwiki proposal notices shall use the color derived from the hex code 8b34bc .
Merge
Icons for protection notice templates shall use the color derived from the hex code 9fa7b5 .
