Logos for MediaWiki sites

There seems to be a few url paths for logos on MediaWiki sites, below are known examples, though they may not work for all - try them and see (ie., add them to the infobox logo field, and then click on 'Show preview'). Please add any more known options below.

• http://YourWikiURL.org/skins/common/images/wiki.png
• http://YourWikiURL.org/w/images/YourWiki/b/bc/Wiki.png

Using API

It is also possible to get the logo URL from the API. Using the base URL for the wiki site, add: /api.php?action=query&meta=siteinfo

If you are not sure of the exact path of the API, go to the wiki site 'Special:Version' page, then briefly scroll down to 'Entry point URLs'. Hope this helps. Sean, aka Hoof Hearted • _{Admin / 'Crat} • talk2HH 00:58, 3 June 2022 (UTC)

This is supposedly "Category talk:MediaWiki?" but it doesn't show up that way. The categories with and without the "?" seem to be identical, even in their "What links here", so I suggest that the experts try to delete the one with the "?" or give it a category-redirect. (See Wikipedia if unfamiliar with the idea.) - robinp 02:02, 7 Feb 2006 (EST)

Deleting one deletes both. Creating a new MediaWiki category also re-creates MediaWiki?. Not sure what else to do here. TedErnst | talk 15:48, 7 Mar 2006 (EST)

Link to languages

I reverted this edit that added a link to wikis in other languages. I'm not opposed at all to navigational aids being added to WikiIndex, but I'm not sure why MediaWiki in particular should have this particular navigational aid added. Please explain if you'd like to, and we (all of us) can decide if the link makes sense. TedErnst | talk 15:11, 14 August 2006 (EDT)

New link request

Hi, I just started a new wiki website geared towards helping people learn by using short concise articles in "Flashcards" format. I have several ways for these flashcards to be delivered to user's desktop, one of them is through Google Gadgets. I wonder if you can kindly include this site in the list of wikis. I think it is a very useful tool and it will help a lot of people. The site is WikiQuickFacts. Thank you very much for your attention.
