Summary: Wikipedia v2 logo should be hosted in local wiki
Product: Wikimedia
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Keywords: shell
Severity: normal
Priority: Normal
Component: Site logos
AssignedTo: cb...@wikimedia.org
ReportedBy: kwj2...@gmail.com
While switching default skin, Wikipedia logos are also switched. Now, logos are
hosted in Commons, while several projects had an autonomy to their project logo
before the switch, by updating wiki.png et cetera.
There are times a projects need to change on special events such as exceeding
100,000 articles. Commons admin should change logo if there is consensus to
change the project logo. But it can be inappropriate to use changed logo to
describe Wikipedia in normal articles. It is a dillema. And it can be a new
kind of workload for Commons administrator, which should be done by local
sysops.
Though there is a way to change their logo using CSS hack, it is undesirable
for short term changes. Because CSS cache file can preserve older than the
duration of changes.
Many Wikipedias used to have the autonomy, so I think there would be no problem
to host logo file in local wiki after v2 logo files are uploaded at each wikis.
Best regards.
