We're up to Shoulders Icon 97, which means we're 3 uploads away from moving into triple digits for shoulders icons numbers. So I think they should all be moved to 3 digit numbers - File:Shoulders Icon 01 (Treasured).png to File:Shoulders Icon 001 (Treasured).png and so on.

I rather would remove the leading 0 from the first 9 icons than add a 0 to all 171 uploaded icons and change all related articles.

I'm aware it's different from where we started. I know there are many ways to handle it, but i have doubts in the way to add leading 0 because it's just a lot of work for ... ... nothing really? even a bot can do it .. it's still a lot of work.

If we really wanna do it in that way to add leading 0 it's fine by me, just sharing my thoughts that it's might not the best way to handle it.

I thought that one of the admins (Uberfuzzy?) had a bot that would move images and update the links automatically. Jeff ( talk | stalk ) 20:20, October 3, 2011 (UTC)

Uberfuzzy, Lordebon and i have a bot, Lordebon's bot moved the icons last time. As said just sharing my thoughts about moving the icons. -- ( Talk ) 06:28, October 4, 2011 (UTC)

The purpose of moving the icons is so that they sort properly in the categories. The sorting does not look ahead to consider entire numbers, it only goes character by character, meaning you'll get things in the order of 1, 10, 100, 11, 12, etc. which is all goofy. If you list them as 0001, 0010, and 0100 they will sort properly, on the other hand.

RL has had me mucho busy lately, but I'll try to get a bot run in to update those icons this week. Looking at it I don't see any in that category that are oddly named, so it should be easy enough to do, just have to get out my old scripts. That one forearm one in there won't get renamed, but that's fine since it's base icon is forearms anyway. -- lordebon 14:53, October 4, 2011 (UTC)
