Hello everyone, As lot of people knows, emoticons are broken because of a new security update of Wikia, it seems to affecting all emoticons that are not intern pictures and that are issued from links that leads to outside websites. Upon reporting the issue to wikia, one said that the list was really long... and indeed it is, we have over 2,500 emoticons! we have attributed not least than 3,700 words for emoticons, and we are using link... 150-200 of them?

I checked the page and I decided to delete all unused emoticons but first I need your consensus, deleting the unused emoticons will help to fix the emoticons from links to intern pictures stored on the wikia, of course I will not delete all emoticons, but if we had only 300 emoticons instead of 3,000, we could save up to 10 times the time we would take to fix all emoticons... not to mention the length of the page which slow downs the worst computers.

Here a list of the emoticons and which ones I want to delete, please discuss whether list should be deleted or not :

1. Wikia emoticons are used and works, so they shouldn't be deleted

2. Meme emoticons has a lot of unused emoticons but also a lot of used ones, most of them (if not all) works, so we should touch this list at the end

3. Di** Figures are unused and the name is inapropriate, even if there's only 5 (working) emoticons, we should delete that list

4. Wild ones emoticons are rather unused except for the game over bomb which is rarely used, there's only 4 emoticons here so it's not very useful to remove it, but I won't complain if we should

5. Now we are going through my least favorite list that reflects a dumb show (It's my opinion, I have nothing against fans of this show) I'm talking about MY LITTLE PONY, ALMOST NONE of these emoticons seems to be used and there's approximately 60 of them. this list should be deleted, except for Twillight Sparkle's facedesk which is the only one I saw on chat

6. Spongebob square pants is another show I don't like, the 5 emoticons here are rather unused and works, I won't complain it's deletion or if it stays, it's up to you to choose

7. Ha ha ha, miscallenous emoticons, A list where I need you help because there's some of them which are used (approx 10 of them), while about 150 of them are unused and 50 of them will likely to be never used (The Uno one for example). Not to mention two of them are inappropriate in some countries... I will not mention them. but this list should be cleaned.

8. Users are respective emoticons for users, this shouldn't be deleted

9. Candy Crush Saga emoticons! Even if some are rarely used, this list shouldn't be deleted because of one reason : what is the name of our wiki?

10. Difficulty are very used and shouldn't be deleted

11. Absolutely NO ONE uses facebook emoticons since we already other versions, this list should be deleted, especially because there's a lot of them (approx. 100)

12. Who uses Yahoo emoticons? No one, we should delete this list and its approx 75 emoticons for same reasons as above

13. This is why I wanted to start this discussion, the Emojis emoticons is the largest of all, and we use a lot of them, but only like 30-40 of them, and there's near 1,700 of them! O_O I really need your help to determine all the one we use then, we should absolutely delete all the others emoticons, especiallby because all of them are links and doesn't works!

14. Minecraft emoticons are not really used, it's up to you to choose if we should keep them or not

15. that list is full of emoticons I added myself, I'm talking about the MARIO EMOTICONS, I can see them sometimes even if I'm the only one to use them, the characters shouldn't be deleted, the items are originally planned to be a part of a chat game that I created for last february that got on hiatus because of how many replies I got on its announcement... ZERO! But since I'm the only one to use these emoticons, we can delete them for now and I will re-add them for further use, expecially because there's not even 40 of them.

Here we go, It will be very long, but if you want to help me, please say which one you want to be deleted by supporting the numbers and which one you want to keep by opposing the numbers, like that (for my opinion) :

Thanks you a lot for reading that and please help us if you are a regular chatter!
