The images are not always the full stack images (the c image) - for example, medicine just uses the a image, and there are some other exceptions. When changing the pages images, make sure you use the correct one.

Ideally, we also don't want to have duplicate files (its harder to maintain, its harder to know which image to use when etc). Its not really an issue if the image name isn't the same as the page, because once the image is set as the page property we can call the image by calling the page image (e.g. with Template: Icon Small or with Template: Q or Template: P). This is better than specifically calling the image because you can just update the infobox and all the images everywhere on the wiki will update too.

That we don't have a colored version of the correct insect meat stack size image is a bit annoying though.

This comes off as an admonition, and its not meant to be, just an FYI for the current standard. You're absolutely killing it lately and its always up for discussion if you disagree or you think I've misunderstood.

Yeah I actually started doing that because iirc I was using some ask formatting template, and to include the icons and everything I think it was becoming too resource intensive, but that was probably due to it being a really long list of items more than anything. But yeah I didn't think of it at the time but just using Icon Small uses less resources comparatively and doesn't come across the issue with page images having different names. It would be nice to figure out how the icons for every item is chosen by the code though without having to go through it manually in-game. Thanks for the info, it's appreciated as always.
