User blog:Eric the Grape/Enable emoticons for Wikia?

I created some emoticon templates for use in comments on iCarly and Victorious Wikis '''[http://icarly.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:SeddieBerserker/Emoticons_are_here! here]'''.

The problem is they aren't used very often because you have to put the braces around them, and you have to remember the names of the templates.

So I was wondering if people in the Wikia community would be interested in being able to use emoticons by simply typing,  ,  , etc. It would have to be decided by Wikia Staff, but I would like to know if anyone else thinks this is a good idea.
