    • ignore wiki_name
    • wiki_node keep as "No" if nothing is there already
  • Save and don't worry about messing it up, also, you can save as many times as necessary
• Upload Logo

    • generally, you can either drag the logo file off, or do a screen capture and then cut out the logo.
    • easier with a Mac if you have one (use Shift-Apple-4)
    • Naming of Logo files (WikiName + "Logo")
    • it is case sensitive

  • If no logo yet, then use "NoLogoYet.png"
  • edit Wiki article
