	I think we as a wiki need to reconsider how we've been doing era icons for the past ten years. So far, we have one icon for every piece of media -- every game, every comic, every book, ~~and~~ every film. So it's basically a catalogue of appearances by this point. However, it's starting to get a bit absurd, as this series is approaching its tenth main instalment. Look at [[Humans]], [[Assassins]], or [[Templars]]. There are so many era icons on these articles that it requires two lines, and I think that's a bit much.

I think we as a wiki need to reconsider how we've been doing era icons for the past ten years. So far, we have one icon for every piece of media -- every game, every comic, every book, and every film. So it's basically a catalogue of appearances by this point. However, it's starting to get a bit absurd, as this series is approaching its tenth main instalment. Look at [[Humans]], [[Assassins]], or [[Templars]]. There are so many era icons on these articles that it requires two lines, and I think that's a bit much.

With this in mind, I think we need to think of a new system for era icons. Or cut back on what we have. I can think of a view ways of doing this:
#Just get rid of era icons altogether. I don't know what purpose they serve that isn't accomplished by Appearances and References.
#Cut down the era icons to "Games", "Novels", "Films", etc., so that while we are showing what form of media the article subject exists in, were aren't going overboard by listing everything it's in.
#Use actual eras, a la Wookieepedia. Wookieepedia has era icons for the Old Republic, Rise of the Empire, and Rebellion eras, just to name a few. They're also placed in the same space in the title, so they don't actually take up article space like we do.
