An additional resource for other icons can be found at [[Data:ResourceLookup2.json]], a manually maintained table used for other icons; some entries may rely on a dictionary key.
Items that have been removed from the game files but still exist on the wiki (e.g., in "Unused" sections) are stored in a local <code>legacyItems</code> table within the module. This ensures icons for historical items continue to render correctly even after the bot removes them from the data JSON.


To add a new legacy item, edit the <code>legacyItems</code> table in [[Module:Icon]].

* {{tl|ItemIcon}}
* {{tl|EntityIcon}}


* {{tl|HeroIcon}} - Can display heroes, abilities, or items

* {{tl|ItemIcon}} - Can display heroes, abilities, or items


'''Note:''' While all three templates work identically, you can use whichever name makes the wiki source code more readable (e.g., use <nowiki>{{AbilityIcon|Siphon Life}}</nowiki> for clarity even though <nowiki>{{HeroIcon|Siphon Life}}</nowiki> works the same).

Main module for rendering game icons.

Note: This module is not intended for direct use. Use the templates below.

Data sources

The module reads from Data:ResourceLookup.json, a pre-indexed lookup table generated by Deadbot at deploy time. When the bot uploads new game files, icons update automatically.

An additional resource for other icons can be found at Data:ResourceLookup2.json, a manually maintained table used for other icons; some entries may rely on a dictionary key.

See also: Module:Icon/data

Usage

Any of the following templates work for any icon type. The module auto-detects the type:

Note: While all four templates work identically, it is recommended to use the correct template (e.g., use {{AbilityIcon|Siphon Life}} for clarity even though {{HeroIcon|Siphon Life}} will work).

Error tracking

Icons that fail to render are added to Category:Module:Icon ERROR.Category:Module documentation
