: I've always thought that downloading the image was the more sure fire way to get it, given that you have more control over the size and shape, etc. But linking has the advantage that if their logo changes, we get the change also. Some logos have strange shapes and clipping a piece of the logo makes more sense. So I'd say either method is fine, whatever produces the best result visually. I'm sure there are some advantages to consistency, but not sure we can achieve 100% consistency unless we only download.

== getting the logo from wiki based on mediawiki == | |||
With many wikiengines, you can hit "File" | "Save page as" to snag a copy of the logo, or do "View" | "Page Source..." to find the exact URL of the logo. | |||
However, some wiki based on the mediawiki engine make it difficult to access the logo and put it on wikiindex. | |||
When I try to to do "File" | "Save page as", I get some sort of "print version" of the page that doesn't include the logo. | |||
When I check the source code, it doesn't mention the logo anywhere. Apparently it is included by reference in one of the several CSS stylesheets referenced by the page. | |||
What's the trick for grabbing that logo and putting it into the wikiindex entry for that wiki? | |||
