== MediaWiki logo == | |||
Q: How do I get the URL of the logo of a wiki that uses the MediaWiki software? Every MediaWiki installation seems to give that logo a different name and put it in a different directory. My normal "view source" trick that works with other [[WikiEngine]]s doesn't work, because the logo is not mentioned directly on any normal page. (I'm guessing the logo URL is mentioned in some transcluded CSS page?). | |||
A: If you are using Firefox 3 or better, the easy way to get that URL is: | |||
Go to some normal page on that wiki. (Preferably a relatively "plain" page with the logo and few other images). | |||
Then select "Tools | Page Info | Media", and go through the list of image URLs there until you find the logo URL. | |||
Once you find it, right-click on the URL, select "copy". | |||
Then edit the WikiIndex article on that wiki, and paste that URL into the "wiki_logo =" field of the WikiIndex boilerplate. | |||
