Section on stub icons out of date.
This was originally raised at
WP:VPI, see the discussion
there for context. I think it's time to remove the bit about stub icons being "discouraged". As
Taavi and
Andrew Gray pointed out, it's a now outdated
Wikipedia:Don't worry about performance issue. Furthermore, it's completely out of sync with reality- almost all stub templates have associated stub "icons". In short, I propose removing the following line:
| “ | Adding a small image to the stub template (the "stub icon") is generally discouraged because it increases the strain on the Wikipedia servers but may be used, so long as the image must be public domain or have a free license—fair use images must not be used in templates. Stub icons should be small, preferably no more than about 40px in size. | ” |

- I would keep the second half - the free image & 40px requirements are I think generally accepted (plus are common sense). Something like An image used as a stub template icon must be public domain or have a free license—fair use images must not be used in templates. Stub icons should be small, preferably no more than about 40px in size., perhaps?
