When the page http://translatewiki.net/wiki/Support has been altered from a normal talk page, lists of links and images have been added to it, almost everywhere. Since these images are completely unnecessary, only adding to general screen clutter and wasting space and bandwidth and user attention, I suggest to remove them. If someone insists in having them, I suggest making them an option in her user preferences. See attached screen shot.

I think usability studies (not only for Wikimedia) have resulted in the understanding that users work better with software if there are (proper) icons connected to functionality. I would not support getting rid of the icons.
Icons are useful.
