== technical question about each wiki logo == | |||
The pages that discuss an individual wiki, also display that wiki's logo. | |||
There are 2 possible ways of displaying that wiki's logo. | |||
(The logo looks identical in the normal "read" view, no matter which way we do it. It is only visible in the "editbox"). | |||
I've seen both ways used here: | |||
* Link directly to that wiki's logo, using the full URI of its location on that wiki. | |||
** Quicker, for the people putting new wiki into the wikiindex, to copy and past the URI to the image file, than to upload and download files (then delete that temporary file). | |||
** If someone finds the wiki *here*, then visits that wiki, the logo is only downloaded once (from that wiki) and stored in cache. (Rather than downloaded once from wikiindex.com and once again from that wiki). | |||
** once and only once | |||
** [[PersonalTelcoWiki]] does it this way | |||
* Download the image from that wiki, then upload that image to the WikiIndex, then refer to the wikiindex version of that image with double-brackets. | |||
** reduces load on that distant wiki, in the case where I look at the description here, and then decide not to visit that wiki after all. | |||
** faster response if I and WikiIndex are on the same continent, but that other wiki is on some other continent. | |||
** [[BradfordCompski]] does it this way | |||
** The "Add a Wiki" page currently seems to be saying this (download-upload) is the "proper" way to display each wiki's logo. | |||
Which is really the best method? | |||
Have we already discussed this elsewhere, and come to a consensus about the Right Way to Do It? | |||
Or should we just start talking about it here? | |||
