Most wikis have their own logo.
Most wikis have their own logo. Therefore the [[Template:Wiki boilerplate]] contains two lines:<br>
<b><nowiki>|logo            = No <!--you may upload and wikilink, or hotlink to a URL--></nowiki></b><br>
<nowiki>|wide logo        = <!--insert 'y' when the logo is too wide AND/OR the title is too long--></nowiki><br>
to integrate this logo in the entry or a wiki, a Wiki Page.
 
== Add WikiLogo step by step ==
 
* Preferably the picture file for the WikiLogo will be uploaded on WikiIndex at first, see [[WikiIndex:Adding Pictures]] which requires to be logged in. IP-Editors can not upload files.
* One can also HotLink to the original WikiLogo, but in case of temporal downtime of that wiki or even [[:Category:Dead|dead]] of the wiki, the logo would not be available any more.
* After uploading the logo file, you can use [[Template:WikiLogoOf]] (preferred) or simply add [[:Category:WikiLogo]] to it.
* The uploaded picture gets integrated in the entry either at time of creation by using the function [[WikiIndex:Add_a_Wiki|Add a Wiki]] or into any existing entry in the above displayed line after the <br>"|logo = ".
* HotLinked logos are simply added by inserting the URL of the picture, uploaded files get added by adding <nowiki>[[File:name-of-the-uploaded-file]]</nowiki>.
* Example:<br><b><nowiki>|logo=[[File:Wikipedia-logo.png]]</nowiki></b>
