Module:Storm categories/icons
 | This module is rated as ready for general use. It has reached a mature form and is thought to be relatively bug-free and ready for use wherever appropriate. It is ready to mention on help pages and other Wikipedia resources as an option for new users to learn. To reduce server load and bad output, it should be improved by sandbox testing rather than repeated trial-and-error editing. |
 | This module is subject to page protection. It is a highly visible module in use by a very large number of pages, or is substituted very frequently. Because vandalism or mistakes would affect many pages, and even trivial editing might cause substantial load on the servers, it is protected from editing. |
 | This Lua module is used on approximately 5,600 pages and changes may be widely noticed. Test changes in the module's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own module sandbox. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them. |
Usage
This template contains icon overrides for Module:Storm categories. These icon overrides can either add an extra icon to the template without adding a category, or override the icon of an existing category or category alias for backwards compatibility. These are primarily used for categories that apply to basins across both hemispheres, but require an icon that applies to the southern hemisphere (where cyclones rotate counter-clockwise).
Overrides are defined in the following format:
-- For overrides that include the icon of an existing category.
["override_id"] = cats["actual_category"].icon,
-- For overrides that introduce a new icon.
["override_id"] = "[[File:Super duper ultra strong magnitude 100 storm icon.svg|18px]]",

-- Icon overrides for old {{Tropical cyclone status icons}} that don't have a
