* If your wiki has no logo, please change the logo field from "Image:NoLogo.png" to "Image:NoLogoYet.png"
* '''Save''' the page

On the other hand, if you don't want to login to wikiindex and know the Logo URL you can hotlink to that logo using this url in the field <code>logo</code>.


'''Note''': if you upload an image that starts with a lower case character, this first character is automatically converted to upper case. The server is case sensitive. So prepare to link to "Logoxyz.gif" when you've actually uploaded "logoxyz.gif".
