@Kevin:
The icon for page types correspond to the Item Type (see the query forms to get a list of them). The submission form doesn't currently give you all those choices, but an editor can change the page Type later. I could look into adding other Types to the scripts; the main issue is whether the page layout and database information would need to be highly customized for any of them.
That reminds me, you posted earlier about pages' item Types and I forgot to respond. Unlike game Categories, a page can only have one Type, so sometimes we just have to pick the subjective best fit.
The "New" and "Updated" icons are generated automatically, when the content's creation date or modification date are relatively recent. (But the rest of your comment makes me think you meant something else, that I don't understand?)
It wouldn't take long to compile the list of image icons and their associated Types. On the other hand, some of the Types are so infrequently used, and possibly are better off being deprecated. There are other oddities of the site, arising throughout our history (like pages with multiple games, and attempts to index each game therein) that would be difficult to remedy but should probably remain obscure.
