:: Silly! I just tried this on [[:File:Asianmediawiki2.jpg]] and [[AsianWiki]]. It results in "This logo is used by AsianWiki." When You take away the logo from the Wiki-page, it still says so. The template lies. Also it does not say which logo the Wiki itself uses, because that is actually no logo at all. (our Logo is outdated.) And in case this logo is indeed used by a Wiki or other page, the file-page says so in the last lines anyway. So no use of that template, just complicating "work". In addition to that, many pics are Wiki-logos but are not used by the page or even that Wiki page does not exist. For those cases this template is really unfit | :: Silly!

:::The [[template:WikiLogoOf]] ''does'' work as designed, but granted it doesn't cope with instances such as when a wiki creates a newer updated logo. The template was designed (long before I started on WikiIndex) as a <u>consistent</u> way of categorising wiki logo. It also has the benefit of moving up the page the link of the wiki article it is used on (yes, some people are too lazy to scroll down the page! And other folks may just look at the picture and not actually be interested in looking to see where the image is used.) We can work around the issue of when it isn't used anymore, by simply adding a few words after the template indicating so. Please recheck [[:File:Asianmediawiki2.jpg]] and [[AsianWiki]] to see how I have implemented this. | :::The [[template:WikiLogoOf]] ''does'' work as designed, but granted it doesn't cope with instances such as when a wiki creates a newer updated logo.

:::Futhermore, the [[template:WikiLogoOf]] is of massive assistance when its article refers to an 'inactive' wiki which has its infobox template changed to [[template:Inactive]] - as that template strips away its identifying logo for the [[:File:Inactive.png]]!! | :::Futhermore, the [[template:WikiLogoOf]] is of massive assistance when its article refers to an 'inactive' wiki which has its infobox template changed to [[template:Inactive]] - as that template strips away its identifying logo for the [[:File:Inactive.png]]!! | ||
