The logo of [[:Category:Wikimedia chapters|wikimedia chapters]] is at the [[commons:File:Wikimedia logo text RGB.svg|wikimedia commons]]. So it's better to enable InstantCommons so that we can use some images without uploading.--[[User:Zhuyifei1999|Zhuyifei1999]] ([[User talk:Zhuyifei1999|talk]]) 05:49, 6 April 2013 (PDT)

:The logo you linked to isn't the Chapters logo!  And I'm not at all sure we need the [[mw:InstantCommons]] extension here on WikiIndex -- probably less than 1% of our logos are Wikimedia logos.  InstantCommons is best used on Wikimedia Foundation wikis, or other non WMF wikis which link heavily to the free images held at Wikimedia Commons.  WikiIndex has no need or requirement to link to free images -- we actually have a requirement to often link to copyrighted images (albeit under a 'Fair Use' claim).  The two existing methods of image display here on WikiIndex seem to work perfectly satisfactorilly -- those being upload and wikilink, or hotlink.  Best.  [[User:Hoof Hearted|Sean, aka <small>Hoof Hearted</small>]] • <sub>[[:Category:Active administrators of this wiki|Admin]]</sub> • <small>[[User talk:Hoof Hearted|talk2HH]]</small> 09:45, 6 April 2013 (PDT)
