Meta

ManageWiki is a special MediaWiki extension developed for Miraheze that allows bureaucrats to quickly and easily modify their wiki's settings. From basic changes like setting the logo and enabling extensions, to more complex things such as creating user groups and customizing every action a given group of users can (not) do, ManageWiki can do lots!

#

you should click "Manage this wiki's additional settings" link in admin sidebar

#

then go to "Styling" tab

#

the rest explained in link above

this is wrong link, it should be raw image URL which starts w/ "static"
check the guide again, says right there

lost tusk
#

when I right click the image theres only copy image

#

no copy image location

#

tho to get that I just dragged the image from the wiki into a new tab

lunar ermine
#

yes, depends on browser I guess

#

another variant is "open in original size" or something link right under image

lost tusk
#

ok I think this is how the link should look like

#

it got the static thing

lunar ermine
#

yes, now save changes

#

might take a minute or so to update logo tho

lost tusk
#

I saved changed when I sent that message

#

it still didnt do it tho

lunar ermine
#

purge button or Ctrl+F5 might help too

#

the size is 135x135?

lost tusk
#

does it need to be that size?

#

I mean the article only says its recommended not needed

lunar ermine
#

if it's too big you'll be left only w/ portion being visible

#

this is relevent to my issue actually

#

ive tried doing all that and the image still wont display

lunar ermine
#

and if portion happens to be transparent, well - logo will look empty

lost tusk
#

I see

#

I will resize it now

lunar ermine
young valley
#

no it says unauthorized

lunar ermine
#

now that's interesting

#

is your wiki private?

young valley
#

yes

lunar ermine
#

can you try to make an empty edit (save w/o changes) the File: page?

lost tusk
#

just a question

young valley
#

lost tusk
#

does the logo replace this

lunar ermine
