For what it matters, the actual template has quite a few individual entries, e.g.:

Code:

program:
   f = field('#fanficcat');
   strcat
   (
    contains(f, "Fallout", 'fallout.png:', ''),
    contains(f, "Half-Life", 'halflife.png:', ''),
    contains(f, "Mass Effect Trilogy|Mass Effect: Andromeda", 'masseffect.png:', ''),
    (at least a dozen more like this)...
    contains(f, "^(2001: A Space Odyssey|Alien|Short Circuit)$", 'Film.png:', ''),
   )

I just combine the miscellaneous one into generic film/book/videogame icons. Since it's a stored template both the column icons and emblems get updated.

Since I want to display all the relevant icons, I'm not sure that an if statement would work too well. But would list_contains be appropriate?
