:So just a split gallery for the Mario Kart Tour course icons? I'd settle for that as much better than removing them entirely, if people really can't bear the few extra seconds of loading time on some of the course articles. {{User:Hewer/sig}} 15:22, May 13, 2024 (EDT)

:I think it's not a bad idea in itself, so long as it has sections for each course. Although, if I were interested in seeing which course has which icons, I'd rather look up that course's page than go to a big repository. Additionally, if people are already having trouble loading the New York Minute page, which comprises only a fraction of MKT course icons, imagine having to load a page full of 2000+ of these things--though I've a hunch that the current attitude is that these icons are some kind of "[https://twitter.com/SMWikiOfficial/status/1664967384787034113 tumor]" that need containment anyway, as in, they need a place where they can just be dumped and forgotten about for the Greater Good of Our Editorship. To me, it seems much more beneficial than harmful to have them distributed among course articles in addition to being in a dedicated gallery, like virtually any piece of artwork or sprite is. {{User:Koopa con Carne/Sig}} 15:45, May 13, 2024 (EDT)

::I don't think these icons are salvageable. There is no way to include these without including either one representative sample or include the rest of it. There is little benefit for having a dedicated page to just these icons which will be insurmountably huge. Keep a representative sample of one image per course/course variant, redesign the tables to not heavily rely on these images (they are seriously not needed for the tables to work) and bog down the pages so severely, throw out all the rest. {{User:Mario/sig}} 21:10, May 13, 2024 (EDT)

There is little benefit for having a dedicated page to just these icons which will be insurmountably huge and consist of practically a NFT-style matrices of images.
