@Lea_WMDE I've looked through the big wikis and picked the namespaces that have occurences in multiple wikis. The rest of the namespaces get a fallback icon .

main space
user
project namespace
file
mediawiki
template
help
category
portal
module
gadget
fallback icon for when no icon is specified for the namespace

Notes: LTR ones need to be RTL when appropriate
