Description

<< Icons can be useful to help a user navigate an interface, however in the transclusion dialog, the same box-shaped icon with the thick left border is shown so many times (when editing a template with more than a few parameters) that it is obnoxious. Almost every occurrence should be removed, keeping it displayed at at most one or two places.--[[User:Wouterstomp|WS]] ([[User talk:Wouterstomp|talk]]) 11:22, 6 August 2013 (UTC) >>

I disagree with this - the icon is used to identify which elements are parameters. Particularly in future they may be contrasted with sub-items such as images or sub-templates that are included in parameters but separately editable within the transclusion editor.
