Remove these from interval infoboxes

@IlL, @SupahstarSaga, and I have requested to remove those glyphs from interval infoboxes. We've talked to the author of those glyphs, who has revealed it was a dumb idea implemented when they were a teenager, and we've all agreed the glyphs are incomplete and add little point to the pages.

I see, but: What exactly is the harm of that "incompleteness" (remember: this is a wiki)? Nobody really complained about having these icons before and there was time invested into them. To be honest, I'd rather like to have some obvious unique features on pages that distinguish them at a glance so I liked to have icons and colors here and there; in the given case these pages were the (in the eyes of newcomers) most basic just intervals. Why was this change made without talking about it first? Why was this talk not reflected before? I find this a bad style (especially when marked as minor change as done in all but one case by an by an apparently hyperactive user). --Xenwolf (talk) 09:38, 12 April 2021 (UTC)

Yup that's a problem of communication. There's the Discord community who talked about stuff internally, and Inthar is being the representative making the edits here. Surely it's better to have those people all come and participate, so that all the changes are public. The Discord community is disjoint from the FB groups, which is also bad.

Just curious, who made these? I have never known where any of these things originated. Mike Battaglia (talk) 10:22, 12 April 2021 (UTC)

Not much info, but he identifies himself as "Fox". FloraC (talk) 11:44, 12 April 2021 (UTC)

The images were uploaded by "k9assassin" in March 2015. --Xenwolf (talk) 16:12, 12 April 2021 (UTC)

@Flora, @Inthar: I think it's rather easy to start editing with a non-empty summary. --Xenwolf (talk) 16:10, 12 April 2021 (UTC)
