Just mentioning this here for now. Using the default game Icon seems controversial despite conforming to style guidance, template notes and common sense. More significantly, this icon is used Explicitly and Exclusively by the game. Please leave a comment/explanation before editing if you don't agree. At the very least, there ought to be a clear explanation when editing out the only icon that is used by the game for a related wiki article.

It doesn't fit with the page's layout. It looks weirdly out of place, condisering we use transparent versions everywhere else, including other conditions.
It is the same icon. This one just has a dark background around it, but guess what? Literally every other spell has a version like that, doesnt mean we have to use them. We should use the faded transparent version here. We can use the round one for Template:PAS but not for the page itself. - HINK (talk) 14:40, 3 October 2023 (CEST)Reply[reply]
Seconding that the current convention on the wiki seems to be to not use the rounded icon on the page for the passive itself and instead a transparent version with the same icon, minus the background/border. They are ultimately the same thing: both the transparent version and the one that is currently on the page have the same exact symbol. The main difference is whether it has a background - Sky (talk) 14:51, 3 October 2023 (CEST)Reply[reply]
Belated edit: It seems likely that if you hover over the feature for Guardian of Faith in the game, we will get a tooltip image that uses the transparent version sans background: link to screenshot of hovering over a passive feature. This lends credence to the argument that it is still being faithful to the game to use transparent version instead of rounded one.- Sky (talk) 14:51, 3 October 2023 (CEST)Reply[reply]
It does! At this point we have solid proof that the faded icon is Explicitly used by the game, and therefore should be on the page. I will make the change once Llama reads this discussion. - HINK (talk) 15:10, 3 October 2023 (CEST)Reply[reply]
I would lean towards acting first without necessarily waiting for a read receipt. It seems like an uncontroversial decision now that we have evidence that the transparent version is used by the game itself. -Sky (talk) 15:16, 3 October 2023 (CEST)Reply[reply]
Edit: I've done the change. Hopefully this is a satisfactory conclusion for all.
