:::On [[:Category:MediaWiki|MediaWiki]], it is detailed at [[Special:ListGroupRights]].  Basically, a [[bureaucrat]] is basically the top-tier level of management - and obviously have by far the greatest range of controls of the wiki site.  [[Sysop]]s are the next level down, and obviously have less controls (sysops can protect pages, delete pages, block users, and edit the MediaWiki namespace - but not much more).  Sysops have no way of interrogating say blocks of IP users, sysops can't say re-name user accounts, and sysops have no way of installing software extensions.  We really DO need a couple more bureaucrats here . . . my nominations are still for TeraS, emijrp and Jack Phoenix. :-)

:::[[Meatball:SoftSecurity]] goes over my head . . . I'm only experienced in MediaWiki, whereas I suppose 'wiki old-timers' might be more experienced in other [[:Category:Wiki Engine|wiki engines]].  OK, I've just re-read the Meatball article.  I agree in principle with its sentiments . . . we already [[assume good faith]], along with all the other related values, and we also work 'UnlockedDoors' principle.  But they leave us very vulnerable.  OK, we have different [[sysop]]s who operate in different timezones, but if a determined spammer/vandal wishes to flood WikiIndex, a lone sysop can be easily overwealmed (and will often 'spoil' an otherwise constructive editing session for said sysop).  'Peer Pressure' wont stop religious vandals or online loan spammers - they have NO consience!  Best, [[User:Hoof Hearted|Hoof Hearted]] • <small>[[User talk:Hoof Hearted|talk2HH]]</small> 15:37, 30 September 2012 (PDT)

::Define "standard". :-)  [[:Category:Wiki Engine|Wiki engines]] and [[:Category:Skins|skins]] are different, but most [[:Category:MediaWiki|MediaWiki]] installations use either the [[:Category:Monobook|Monobook]] or [[:Category:Vector|Vector]] skin (as those are available out-of-the-box) and the standard logo size for those [[:Category:Skins|skins]] is either 135 × 155 px or 150 × 150 px.  Other [[:Category:Custom skin|custom skins]] may require different logo dimensions, but due to the complex nature of MediaWiki's skinning system, the majority of MediaWiki users won't even bother thinking of writing their own skin system. --[[User:Jack Phoenix|Jack Phoenix]] ([[User talk:Jack Phoenix|talk]]) 13:47, 21 June 2013 (UTC)
