This version uses CSS to suppress those icons which do not exist, but therefore displays *all* icons which do exist in each series; there are up to 33 icons in each series.

Add the following to your monobook.css user subpage:

.check-icon a.new {
   display: none; 
   speak:none;
}

It helps a lot to use this table on a wide-screen display!
