This is the documentation for medal icons with years. This is not the documentation specifically for User:Magnus sine Cognomen, however it also links here.

Scope

More specific, it is the documentation for the family of medal icons named as VALUEyear-YYYY.svg, and their related icons named as VALUEyear-YYYY-noframe.svg and VALUEyear-YYYY-shiny.svg. For the year 2022, this include the following medals:

	Normal	No frame	Shiny	Files
Gold				File:Goldyear-2022.svg File:Goldyear-2022-noframe.svg File:Goldyear-2022-shiny.svg
Silver				File:Silveryear-2022.svg File:Silveryear-2022-noframe.svg File:Silveryear-2022-shiny.svg
Bronze				File:Bronzeyear-2022.svg File:Bronzeyear-2022-noframe.svg File:Bronzeyear-2022-shiny.svg

The names in this text will generally have a format with some variable parts in italic:

VALUE

The value of the medal; one of Gold, Silver and Bronze

YYYY

The four-digit year

-TYPE

The type; this is optionally one of -noframe or -shiny, but may be omitted

Available medals

Currently, all icons are available for the years 1850–2050.

Usage

Anyone may, of course, use the icons as they wish, including the common inclusion as

[[File:Bronzeyear-1903-shiny.svg]]

The three different types are made so that the user can adapt readability and aesthetics at different icon sizes. A few simple tests have been made to see at what sizes the different types are more suitable. They suggest that

• Sizes smaller than 18px should be avoided if the year shold be reasonably readable
• 18px works well the standard Wikipedia font size, such as theese silver and gold images, but the year may still be hard to read.
• 26px gives a better readability .
• For all sizes smaller than 36px, the readability is better if the -noframe type is used.
• The -shiny type actually does work with smaller sizes, but at aboout 50px the effect is more visible.

However, the files with the VALUEyear-YYYY-TYPE.svg name format are made to be suitable for template inclusion. The idea is that you may list medals for a team or athlete, and the icon tells which year and value the medal had.
