File talk:Future Sight unused planeswalker symbol.svg

Consistent card type symbol filenames

It looks like deleting the redirect to here from "File:Planeswalker symbol.svg" broke {{Type}}, which relies on each card type having an image file named "TYPE symbol.svg". All the others do, even battles (File:Battle symbol.svg). I fixed the template to use this page but it did make me wonder how battles can have a normally named symbol and planeswalkers cannot.

This is partly a question about where the battle symbol came from. Its summary says it came from Arena. I would've assumed any context providing battles with an official symbol would've done the same for other card types. If so, one of the following should be true:

• There is an official symbol for planeswalkers just like for battles
  • It is not the same as this symbol, and should be uploaded as "File:Planeswalker symbol.svg"; this symbol should not be used other than as a historical note
  • It is the same as this symbol, and this one should be moved back to "File:Planeswalker symbol.svg" as the now-officially-endorsed one
• The battle symbol isn't really that official and should be moved to a "disclaimer-y" page title similar to this one

Or maybe I'm wrong and battles got a symbol and PWs really still didn't. It's not a huge deal regardless, but consistency is certainly nice when it's available.
