For the Libertarianism portal, please change ["libertarianism"] = "2006 AEGold Proof Obv.png|link=|alt=coin",
to ["libertarianism"] = "Libertarianism-groups-diagram.png|link=|alt=diagram",
. The use of the coin and gold colors on libertarian-related items are leading to POV concerns as seen here and here. Wow (talk) 04:02, 25 November 2023 (UTC)
- Done, although at 28 pixels high, that image is almost impossible to understand. — hike395 (talk) 11:41, 25 November 2023 (UTC)

Hi, File:Flag of Johnston Atoll (local).svg was deleted from commons 00:29, 29 November 2023. There is no portal so this could either just be removed or replaced with File:Flag of the United States (DoS ECA Color Standard).svg per Johnston Atoll.

- Not done: Wrong page, your request should be @ Module:Portal insted. - FlightTime (open channel) 18:14, 2 December 2023 (UTC)
- @FlightTime starting an edit request on Module:Portal/images/j brings you here as it does for all the sub image pages. Also Module_talk:Portal is just a redirect to here. KylieTastic (talk) 18:19, 2 December 2023 (UTC)

Please change the image for Portal:Insects from File:European wasp white bg.jpg () to something recognizable at these sizes – I suggest File:Beetle icon.svg (). Cremastra (talk) 22:36, 9 December 2023 (UTC)
- The image used is determined by Module:Portal/images/i. Its talk page redirects here. Certes (talk) 00:01, 10 December 2023 (UTC)
- The wasp is difficult to make out at the 20px image size. Editor Certes, do you object to using the beetle icon? P.I. Ellsworth , ed. put'er there 02:46, 10 December 2023 (UTC)
- I support the requested change. The beetle looks a lot clearer than the wasp at that scale. Certes (talk) 15:59, 10 December 2023 (UTC)

Description of suggested change: Hi, I'm back...
Please change the icon for Portal:Agriculture from File:Veranotrigo.jpg, which is completely indiscernable at these sizes () to... anything, really. I suggest File:Noto Emoji Oreo 1f33e.svg () as symbolic and easily recognizable. Thanks, Cremastra (talk) 21:57, 11 December 2023 (UTC)
- That looks like an improvement to me. The place to change it is Module:Portal/images/a. (Its talk page redirects here.) Certes (talk) 22:16, 11 December 2023 (UTC)
- Done Wow. That was completely unreadable. I did your suggestion, but there are also plenty of options at commons:Category:Wheat icons! SWinxy (talk) 01:11, 12 December 2023 (UTC)

Please change the image for Disney to File:Mickey Mouse colored.svg. 1989 (talk) 19:20, 3 January 2024 (UTC)
- That's a great idea but does it display legibly at 19 pixels high? (Old image for comparison: .) Could we use a cropped version with just Mickey's head? Certes (talk) 20:00, 3 January 2024 (UTC)
- @Certes: Here is a preview of Mickey's head: 1989 (talk) 22:58, 3 January 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you. I think the head is more recognisable (without a microscope) but am happy to support either change. Certes (talk) 23:13, 3 January 2024 (UTC)
- @Certes: Here is a preview of Mickey's head: 1989 (talk) 22:58, 3 January 2024 (UTC)
- Done File:Mickey Mouse colored (head).svg (the one added) seems slightly more readable than File:Mickey Mouse colored.svg, but a significance upgrade to File:Magic Kingdom castle.jpg. SWinxy (talk) 04:01, 4 January 2024 (UTC)

I'd like to properly request that the display icon for the "Monarchy" portal be changed from "File:Crown of Saint Edward Heraldry.svg" to "File:Imperial Crown Heraldry.svg" (which represents the Tudor Crown). Given that the Tudor Crown has replaced the St Edward's Crown as the main heraldic crown symbol of the British monarchy under King Charles III, it seems only fitting (at least in my opinion) that the Tudor Crown should replace the St Edward version as the face of this particular portal as well.

Please change the image of the Islam portal to this image according to the discussion on WikiProject Islam ☆SuperNinja2☆ 06:36, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
- Done ... but that is not a consensus as no one else responded, and it was only open for three days. Therefore I will revert this change on request — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 13:07, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
- As there is no consensus, it should be reverted. Zsohl(Talk) 12:21, 23 February 2024 (UTC)

Mrmw (talk) 13:33, 23 February 2024 (UTC)
- Is there a consensus for this change? Here's the difference:
- Please link to a discussion, if any. I see that you have added this image to many pages without using edit summaries. Please use edit summaries, especially when editing template pages. – Jonesey95 (talk) 14:40, 23 February 2024 (UTC)
- @Jonesey95: this file is part of new series, they are optmized and harmonized, please have a look at template on commons (see: c:Template:Other versions/Greek letters) --Mrmw (talk) 15:06, 23 February 2024 (UTC)
- So no discussion, no consensus, no edit summaries? How is a template editor to know whether this is a reasonable change to make? – Jonesey95 (talk) 16:53, 24 February 2024 (UTC)
- @Jonesey95: of course its resonable - i told you this file is part of new series of greek letters - do you have any questions? you can see these files at template on commons (see link above) --Mrmw (talk) 17:03, 24 February 2024 (UTC)
- I looked at the link you provided, and then I asked a question that you have not yet answered. You have not provided any links showing that this is anything other than a personal project on Commons with no support beyond your own ideas about what looks better aesthetically. Another template editor may be willing to make this change on good faith, and I would not object, but I don't see a good reason to do so using my own template editor rights. Also, you continue to make edits without providing edit summaries, even after I posted a gentle warning message on your talk page. Sorry if that is frustrating. – Jonesey95 (talk) 03:23, 25 February 2024 (UTC)
- @Jonesey95: this file is part of new series, they are optmized and harmonized, please have a look at template on commons (see: c:Template:Other versions/Greek letters) --Mrmw (talk) 15:06, 23 February 2024 (UTC)
