Description:
Currently the nav bar, parts of the footer, various system messages, etc, can be
customized by changing "MediaWiki:" pages. Currently however, the site's logo
has to be changed by manually editing LocalSettings.php in a text editor and
changing $wgLogo. I would like to suggest that the site's logo instead be
customizable by using a MediaWiki page, such as "MediaWiki:Logo" or
"MediaWiki:sitelogo".
"MediaWiki:Logo" could for example contain something like this:
"[[Image:old-logo.png]]" (or maybe just "old-logo.png", if that seems
preferable). A wiki admin user could then update the site's logo to
"[[Image:new-logo.png]]", without ever having to involve a system administrator
by getting them to manually edit LocalSettings.php. Result: More empowered
users, and slightly less hassled sysadmins.
