Something like this would probably be better with a S_PreserveEnts#Behavior issues that come with it instead of listing it on every page. Not sure about the icon though I just took the one from {{T|Important}} notice. --[[User:Nescius|Nescius]] ([[User talk:Nescius|talk]]) 08:45, 2 May 2025 (PDT)
:Sure. I suppose we could just have the currently listed caveats on the [[s_PreserveEnts]] page? Not sure why they aren't already. If you want a unique icon, something along the lines of [https://thenounproject.com/icon/preservation-3883524/ this] could probably work, or perhaps a recycle ♻️ symbol.<br/>— [[User:SirYodaJedi|SirYodaJedi]] ([[User_talk:SirYodaJedi|talk]]) 10:50, 2 May 2025 (PDT)
::Hmm not a bad idea --[[User:Nescius|Nescius]] ([[User talk:Nescius|talk]]) 12:04, 2 May 2025 (PDT)
:::A unique icon (and color?) would be great for its recognition value. I already like the recycle symbol. --[[User:Popcorn|popcorn]] ([[User talk:Popcorn|talk]]) 18:27, 2 May 2025 (PDT)

== probably not worth mentioning ==

Not sure if it's worth mentioning if non-existent entity is preserved in some game. I removed some of those occurences from [[Template:PreservedEnt/switch]] like for example [[info_node]]s and func_buyzone being preserved in l4d2 because those entities are not present in l4d2. Probably looks more confusing and it's not really too useful information.
For example [[info_node]] would be confusing to look at if it said "this entity is preserved in {{l4ds}}" and at the same time right below it says "available in all games except {{l4ds}}" --[[User:Nescius|Nescius]] ([[User talk:Nescius|talk]]) 07:55, 4 May 2025 (PDT)
