Remove Kenney SVG button icons

I know that you're going to reject this!

Remove the Kenney SVG button icons, because they feel derivative. Gorilli09 (talk) 21:38, 20 December 2025 (UTC)

If you're concerned your proposed changes will be rejected, maybe you should put more effort into giving genuine, well-thought-out arguments for them instead of constantly screaming out-of-context ad hominems.

What does "feel derivative" mean in this case? What's the proposed replacement, and what would be the benefits of using it? Driftin Soul (talk) 22:04, 20 December 2025 (UTC)

It feels cliche, overused, and/or unoriginal. Gorilli09 (talk) 23:03, 20 December 2025 (UTC)

You're literally the one who started the svg discussion. #SVG, Motion Control, Mouse 4 & 5, PS Vita, and Steam button icons. Do you have an alternative set of icons? -- Prod (talk) 23:08, 20 December 2025 (UTC)

I did! But what I meant is SVG versions of your existing PNG button icons! Gorilli09 (talk) 00:37, 21 December 2025 (UTC)

SCButton

I made SVG versions of the {{SCButton}} images. Wanderer (talk) 01:12, 22 December 2025 (UTC)

{{SCButton}} updated. Thanks for updating those! -- Prod (talk) 01:19, 22 December 2025 (UTC)

Single player, Single-player, or Singleplayer?

Single player doesn't feel like the right name for the mode to me, for entries in the infobox as well as the category name. Should we change it to "Single-player" or "Singleplayer", or just keep it as is? There was a discussion on reddit about this recently. -- Prod (talk) 19:06, 15 January 2026 (UTC)

Hyphen or space feel more or less equally fine to me.

Hyphen is probably most correct, but imo not so much so that it's worth a crazy reorg if it's going to be a headache. Driftin Soul (talk) 21:23, 15 January 2026 (UTC)

This is just something that'd be done "over time". My bot would make the updates whenever any other changes were taking place on a page. For me the most compelling argument is that "A single-player game is played by a single player". Steam calls it "singleplayer", which matches with Multiplayer but that feels uncomfortable to me. -- Prod (talk) 18:59, 16 January 2026 (UTC)

I don't really like one word either. I get that it's by analogy with "multiplayer", but 'multi' isn't a word by itself, it's a prefix. If there's no logistical issue with carrying out the change then I think shifting to hyphenated seems fine. Driftin Soul (talk) 19:10, 16 January 2026 (UTC)

Hyphenating the word makes it a lot clearer in my opinion, as in referring to games that can only be played with one player. – Chazmatron, signing off! (TALK) 20:52, 16 January, 2026 (GMT)

I am also in favor of hyphenating it. Procyon 03:15, 18 January 2026 (UTC)

Thanks all. I've updated my bot to use Single-player and updated all the redirects to point to the new category. -- Prod (talk) 03:26, 19 January 2026 (UTC)

PlayStation controller buttons

I made SVG images of the PlayStation controller buttons. Wanderer (talk) 00:33, 17 January 2026 (UTC)

Thanks! I updated {{psx}} to use svg. -- Prod (talk) 01:04, 17 January 2026 (UTC)
