But we don't want to replace templates on the MediaWiki<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:MediaWiki.svg> <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:MediaWiki.svg>[4] and the Community<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Wikimedia_Community_Logo.svg> <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Wikimedia_Community_Logo.svg>[5] logos, which were originally released under free licenses. There are also some pages on Commons, like this one<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Licensing> <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Licensing>[6], that may need to be updated based on the re-licensed logos.
