Boy/Girl
None of the boy/girl parameters work for any race, as seen here it defaults to the Male icon:
- {{RaceIcon|<NightElf>|<Boy>}}: File:IconSmall NightElf Boy.gif
- {{RaceIcon|<NightElf>|<Girl>}}: File:IconSmall NightElf Girl.gif
- {{RaceIcon|<Human>|<Boy>}}:
- {{RaceIcon|<Human>|<Girl>}}:
- {{RaceIcon|<Orc>|<Boy>}}:
- {{RaceIcon|<Orc>|<Girl>}}:

- Ah, in that case, it should probably be changed on WoWPedia:List of race icons. {T•C) 20:01, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

Image links
Should the images perhaps link to the main race topics? We have the ability to use link= now, seems like an appropriate place. Far more useful than linking to the image pages at least. (Also applies to Template talk:RaceIconExt) Kirkburn talk contr 14:56, May 5, 2010 (UTC)
Remake and merge with RaceIconExt
I'm planning on giving RaceIcon a small remake, changing all its code but keeping the functionality and syntax. The way I'm planning to do it, RaceIconExt would become obsolete and redundant, since the new RaceIcon would cover gender-less icons, too. I would like to hear some opinion before starting to write the new code. Some planned additions aside from the remake:
- Link to race (like ClassIcon).
- Ability to use "boy" and "girl" in gender.
Waiting for green light :).--Lon-ami (talk) 08:25, 3 December 2011 (UTC)
- Work completed! This: Template:RaceIcon/link needs a bit of help, but all the other options are working fine.
- However, this: Wowpedia talk:List of creature icons#Naming conventions requires attention for some of the new functions to work as they are supposed to :).--Lon-ami (talk) 13:07, 3 December 2011 (UTC)
- I would like to point out that now the ancien form {{RaceIconExt|Hamuul|Small}} generates an error File:IconSmall Hamuul Small.gif

- My bad, I though no one used "|small" anymore, considering it's the default value and it's just useless to write it. I'm going to check how many pages are wrong, and if they're too many, use a bot to fix that.
- Still, besides that minor nuisance, how do you find the new template?--Lon-ami (talk) 16:36, 3 December 2011 (UTC)
- Default yes, but used in manyyyyyyy spots

- Lon-ami I suggest you a bot request to remove all the |Small

- Conflicted edition, I was going to post this:
- Well, time to correct them then. Any bot could easily do a "{{RaceIconExt|" to "{{RaceIcon|" and then a "File:IconSmall "~"Small.gif" to "File:IconSmall "~".gif". I already fixed the "|Small" issue on all the templates, and asked mods to do it in those I couldn't. Icons using "Large" need a fix, too, but only after the template has been implemented. Those are present n just some pages, so it's not problematic. If not, call the bot again for a "File:IconSmall "~" Large.gif" to "Large".--Lon-ami (talk) 16:56, 3 December 2011 (UTC)
- Where shall I request the bots to make it as fast as possible, anyway?--Lon-ami (talk) 16:56, 3 December 2011 (UTC)
