{{sudo}} Please add {{toSVG}} (this is certainly simple enough to store it as an SVG). --Thinboy00's sockpuppet alternate account 02:43, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

Done. I think? Cheers. --MZMcBride (talk) 06:22, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

There is an SVG verison here: Image:Ambox content.svg. Can someone remove the {{toSVG}} and add {{Vector version available|Ambox content.svg}}? Thanks. --pbroks13talk? 21:32, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

Vector Version Available

{{editprotected}} Can someone add {{vva|Ambox Content.svg}} (fur real, dis time). Tanks, Stannered (talk) 09:58, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

That isn't an accurate vector version of the icon; it looks significantly different. —David Levy 14:50, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
A shade of orange differing by about 2% across about 3 pixels fails to meet my definition of "significantly". I don't think that "slightly" would be too mild a word. Stannered (talk) 18:08, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
This icon is intended for use in one specific template and was created for the sole purpose of being a pixel-perfect match with another icon used in said template. The SVG version's shadow is barely noticeable at this size, and that's significant. —David Levy 19:46, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
It would be relatively simple to create an SVG that pixel-perfectly matches the current SVG to replace that image (if that makes any sense). I wasn't aware that shadows always had to be glaringly obvious. Of course, I'm just annoyed because I wasted my time creating this SVG image because someone decided to stick a ShouldBeSVG on this image. Stannered (talk) 21:52, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
You didn't waste your time. The SVG is useful, but not as a replacement for the PNG. You might want to upload it under a different name. —David Levy 00:18, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
Not even close, but putting it as an "other version" may be useful. The description really needs to change on the other, though. Rocket000 (talk) 04:46, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
Here's some explanation for those of you who did not take part in the icon design discussions over at Wikipedia talk:Article message boxes:
  • If/when a matching SVG has been made then it should not be uploaded to Wikipedia, but instead to Wikimedia Commons. The reason the PNG is uploaded to Wikipedia is so we can protect (lock) it here, since it is high-use here, since it is used in {{ambox}}.
  • For several technical reasons we prefer to use a PNG in the ambox. Among other things the SVGs get problems with their transparent background in older web browsers. This PNG has been hand modified to workaround that background problem, so it looks good in all browsers.

I understand that. SVGs are awesome but PNGs aren't evil. We do protect many images on Commons that are heavily used elsewhere (wikis seem to copy each other a lot with templates so they are usually in high use on more then one project), but local protection is better because it should be entirely up to the project if that image ever changes and not Commons admins.
