Module:Storm categories/icons
 | This module is rated as ready for general use. It has reached a mature state, is considered relatively stable and bug-free, and may be used wherever appropriate. It can be mentioned on help pages and other Wikipedia resources as an option for new users. To minimise server load and avoid disruptive output, improvements should be developed through sandbox testing rather than repeated trial-and-error editing. |
 | This module is currently protected from editing. See the protection policy and protection log for more details. Please discuss any changes on the talk page; you may submit an edit request to ask an administrator to make an edit if it is uncontroversial or supported by consensus. You may also request that this page be unprotected. |
 | This Lua module is used on approximately 5,700 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]]",
local p = {}
local cats = require("Module:Storm categories/categories").cats
-- Icon overrides for old {{Tropical cyclone status icons}} that don't have a
-- viable category.
