:Note that they're on 1.4.1'''5''' currently. 1.4.13 added protection against WMF vulnerability attacks, and 1.4.15 renders more accurately in the IE7 beta. Oh, and 1.6 also introduces {{W|CAPTCHA}} support. You could do it before, but it took a lot more work in 1.5 than before. So in summary, Yeah, it's worth pushing for. &mdash;[[Sean Fennel|<span style="font-family:Kristen ITC, Times New Roman">User:Sean Fennel</span>]][[User talk:Sean Fennel|<span style="font-family:Kristen ITC, Times New Roman">@</span>]] 20:35, 11 Apr 2006 (EDT)

Ah, I see you already figured this out and fixed it for [[2kom.org Wiki]].  How do you get that actual path?  Is this bot work we're seeing or manual? [[TedErnst]] | <small>[[User talk:TedErnst|talk]]</small> 02:00, 4 July 2006 (EDT)

:Still me. I get the path of the actual image by viewing the image page and copying the url of the link directly under it from the right click menu. Not a bot yet. For the Pywikibot I'd have to write a custom script for it, and as I'm not a programmer I can't do that. What I will use is the Auto Wiki Browser which means I'll still be doing it manually, but it'll still be a lot faster than doing it without. &mdash;[[Sean Fennel|<span style="font-family:Kristen ITC, Times New Roman">User:Sean Fennel</span>]][[User talk:Sean Fennel|<span style="font-family:Kristen ITC, Times New Roman">@</span>]] 15:51, 4 July 2006 (EDT)

When you ask ''"Is it documented anywhere...?"'', I suspect you are looking for the friendly tutorial at {{W|Wikipedia:Picture tutorial}}.  There's also far more detailed documentation at {{W|Wikipedia:Extended image syntax}} and [[mw:Help:Images|MediaWiki:Help:Images]].

Those pages document the "image width syntax", which starts with "<tt><nowiki>[[Image:...</nowiki></tt>" and -- if necessary -- ends with something like "<tt><nowiki>...|150px]]</nowiki></tt>" to set the desired size, as alluded to by [[User:Sean Fennel]] above.  Should [[WikiProject:Logos]] mention the image width syntax?

Hi. Sorry to bug you but we need 3 [[sysop]]s to get the following articles unprotected. There is basically no one that wants them protected, as far as I can tell. We are not really sure of the purpose of this but, only that you are supposed to decide when we get to move them back out <shrug>. (Notice the statement at the top of these pages):
