I see that all emoticons are separated images, which reduce performance (as I know).

So, would not be better if they work with CSS sprites?

Like all official emoticons in a single file, all X-wikia's emoticons in another file, and so on. Then a package of emoticons could be a single image file. Also, you could theme the emoticons just replacing one file.

Backward compatibility? Well, it could be made in many ways, like adding a level with :


 * http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110904035827/central/images/e/ec/Emoticon_BA.png
 * (ba)
 * http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/…/default_emoticons.png
 * 0 0 16 16
 * (batman)
 * 16 0 16 16
 * (blush)
 * :]

Do you thik I should contact the staff to suggest it, or do you see a problem I don't?
