The link of the logo? Well, a global sysop, steward, or global interface editor could do this I think, but you would probably need to demonstrate community consensus.

Hi,

Could you provide URL to the page where you let a message about this issue and offered the change to review to the (non existent?) local community.

I didn't leave a message for the Community, since there was no "community" I could find and effectively speak to about this.

And, most of the non-bot users are either making global userpages for themselves or replacing local images with those of the Commons. But what I probably need to do is find out what characters are even used in the logo to make a version 2.0 of the logo (and use the Commons copy).

The wiki seems indeed inactive. The last message which got a reply were this one 2 years ago:
http://chr.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E1%8F%AB%E1%8E%A9%E1%8F%87%E1%8F%97%E1%8F%AF:%E1%8E%BE%E1%8E%A5_%E1%8F%84%E1%8E%BE%E1%8F%93%E1%8E%B8_%E1%8E%BE%E1%8E%BF%E1%8E%A2#Article_request

Removing 'shellpolicy' keyword, adding 'shell' keyword.

Taking this bug.

Dear Zachary,

I'm sorry, it seems I haven't understood your request yet.

In a first time, I thought you wanted I change the default Wikipedia logo.

Then, I saw it's already this logo on the page:


The commons logo I thought you wish to print:
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/98/Wikipedia-logo-chr.png

The current logo:

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/chr/b/bc/Wiki.png

Logos link to the homepage, not a description page.

So could you provide:

  • the URL of the page where the logo is ;
  • if not immediate, the instructions to find the link on this page ;
  • the procedure you would have followed if you were sysop on this wiki.

In the case the third item is feasible, Krenair is right:

could do this I think, but you would probably need to demonstrate community
consensus.

I'd like also to stress the kind of requests we do at operations level is mainly to edit the wiki's configuration files (namespaces, extensions configuration, user groups, etc.). For the other changes, meta. is more the place where to find assistance, as it doesn't require nor development nor operations tasks.

I been told to go to Bugzilla if I wanted to have the logo point from a local page (wiki.png) to an image on the Commons.

I still don't understand what you want exactly.

You plan to change the logo in the future, and you would like we already edit the config, so it points to the file on Commons?

The logo at http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Wikipedia-logo-chr.png is not protected against edition. Please have it protected and then we will be able to change the wiki logo.
