Some remarks from a usability perspective:

  • We have few space (Which makes icons attractive)
  • …but no one understands Icons we think up ourselves
  • …in particular, simple traffic-light metaphors are to be avoided, since in their full-traffic-light they use up much space and in the just-colored-light they are not accessible to the colorblind population

One solution would be:

  • What is shown
    • There is one standardized set for icons, e.g. a warning sign (violation) and a stop sign (severe violation).
    • When there is no violation, nothing is shown, if there is one violation it’s grade of severity is shown in the icon
    • if there are multiple violations, the icon for the most severe is shown
    • We can show a number behind the icon indicating the number of violations
  • upon click on the icon, we show a list of violations (as the click on the mediawikis up-right area message tray shows a list of mentions)

Mock: 1) small version of indicator 2) larger version of indicator 3) expanded infos

We could offer an API for that, so that you can hook in your checks as well as your UI for them. The latter could be done declaratively.
