Template talk:User recent changes, new page, random page, and new pages feed patroller

Template image
I recently replaced the negative image of a police officer raising a hand in a "stop!" gesture with a more positive "Thumbs up" approval gesture. I was reverted with the edit summary "Lots of people use this box...".

It is precisely because lots of people use the template - and because their user pages may be visited by the new users whose work they largely patrol - that it should have a more welcoming, positive image, rather than one suggesting a barrier; see also WP:BITE.

Further more, the people who do the kinds of patrols listed in this template's name are not Wikipedia's police officers. Andy Mabbett ( Pigsonthewing ); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 09:01, 4 December 2019 (UTC)
