{{TOC right}}'''WikiIndex:Logo images (generic non-specific)''' — here on this {{tag|WikiIndex}} wiki site, we use some general, non-specific [[:Category:Images|images]], which mimic actual {{tag|WikiLogo|wiki logos}}, to visually illustrate on article pages for a [[What is a Wiki|wiki site]] which may either have no [[WikiLogo|wiki logo]] of their own, or maybe they have a [[WikiLogo|wiki logo]] but the [[editor]] was not able to [[Special:Upload|upload]] nor find the actual URL for the [[logo]] to hotlink to. Furthermore, we also use other generic images which highlight a specific [[:Category:Wiki status|status]] of an individual wiki site (when its own logo is either unknown, or it never had a logo). All the images shown below have fundamental purposes, and these are explained adjacent to the individual images. | {{TOC right}}'''WikiIndex:Logo images (generic non-specific)''' — here on this {{tag|WikiIndex}} wiki site, we use some general, non-specific [[:Category:Images|images]], which mimic actual {{tag|WikiLogo|wiki logos}}, to visually illustrate on article pages for a [[What is a Wiki|wiki site]] which may either have no [[WikiLogo|wiki logo]] of their own, or maybe they have a [[WikiLogo|wiki logo]] but the [[editor]] was not able to [[Special:Upload|upload]] nor find the actual URL for the [[logo]] to hotlink to.

One of the below image logos will be displayed within its [[article]] (or [[Special:Categories|category]]) page here on WikiIndex, by way of its specific [[:Category:Infobox | One of the below image logos will be displayed within its [[article]] (or [[Special:Categories|category]]) page here on WikiIndex, by way of its specific [[:Category:Infobox template|infobox template]], specifically using the <code>|logo = </code> field. Most of our widely used infobox templates are now coded with specific [[#Table of preload keys|preloaded 'key' terms]], which when used, will call on the required logo image and display it within the infobox in the rendered article or [[category]] page. More importantly, when using these preload keys, it will also generate the required 'hover' text description ''and'' the 'alt' image description as used by screen readers and other assisted technologies for the visually impaired. Finally, the preload keys will also auto-include the wiki site article (or category) page into one (or more) specific [[categories]] for that actual logo image (when used with its specific key). For actual <u>[[:Category:All|wiki sites]]</u>, the [[Template:Wiki|wiki infobox template]] (with the black border) is used on their article page. For <u>[[:Category:Wiki engine|wiki engine]]</u> software, the [[Template:Wiki engine|wiki engine infobox]] template (with the orange border) should be used on its category or article page. And for a category page on a specific <u>[[:Category:Wiki farm|wiki farm]]</u> (a site which hosts a number of wiki sites), the [[Template:Wiki farm|wiki farm infobox]] template (with the green border) should be used. | ||

The images ''may'' also be used in the logo field of its infobox by way of a traditional '[[wikilink]]' (though this is now <u>strongly discouraged</u>, as some [[editor]]s may not include the appropriate image hover text and 'alt' description, nor add the required [[Special:Categories|category]]). However, in some specific circumstances, it may be appropriate to include one of these logos as a separate thumbnail image external to the infobox within the article page for the sake of clarity. | ||
Regarding individual wiki sites which use any of the preload key options, should their situation change as the wiki site evolves; for example, it gains a logo, or sadly the wiki is taken [[:Category:Dead|offline and closed]], or when fuller detail is known about the respective wiki site, these logo images may be amended by deleting the preload key and replacing with the its actual or revised logo image. | Regarding individual wiki sites which use any of the preload key options, should their situation change as the wiki site evolves; for example, it gains a logo, or sadly the wiki is taken [[:Category:Dead|offline and closed]], or when fuller detail is known about the respective wiki site, these logo images may be amended by deleting the preload key and replacing with the its actual or revised logo image. | ||
