This ticket was closed on purpose, we had an conversation about
exactly
that topic back on our FAD in January 2015. This page is not served
anymore for a reason! This wiki pages become very fast trash dumps for
everybody and we have to clean it.
I think the issue with this page specifically is that all of the graphics
are very release-specific, and so after a single release, they all become
outdated and irrelevant. The idea that we were proposing was that the
images be updated to be release-neutral, giving them a much longer
lifespan than single release images.
Therefore, users could download things like forum signatures, small little
badges like the ones at the bottom, and so on without having to have them
updated every six months, which is a lot of unnecessary work on the Design
Team to update a large quantity of images every six months.
And second reason is nobody uses them, and when there are banners
needed
in a special size you can open a ticket, but we will not produce banners
for no reason anymore. We skipped that. So accept it
If you want to show that you proud of Fedora you can use the banners we
provide
for each release.
I agree that the wiki is often a mess and not the best place to store
images, but this page is something that is commonly visited, and users
have commented on the Community Blog and on other sites about this
specific page. At the very least, if there is absolutely no interest in
designing release-neutral versions of some of these images (e.g. forum
signatures, small badges, or blog icons), then the wiki page probably
needs to be denoted to represent this and redirect to the pages or
category for release-specific artwork that the Design Team is already
producing.
If there is no interest by any others on the team to update this, CommOps
can help with the wiki gardening side of things. But if it were possible,
I'd like for this ticket to at least be discussed at the next Design Team
meeting with the points I've mentioned to consider. I know you all have a
lot of work on your plate as is, and that's why there is not really a "due
date" for this ticket, but it's something that I do believe a lot of users
are actively interested in and searching for already.
