Description Pete F 2012-10-29 21:53:36 UTC
When people share a Wikipedia article on Facebook, it often shows the MediaWiki logo (instead of more reasonably showing the Wikipedia logo). I assume this is the case for other projects as well.

According to Lars Aronson, this results from the MediaWiki being the last image entered in the site CSS. He suggested altering the CSS to include the Wikipedia logo at the end, here:

(see also bug 39842 - seems related)

Not in the CSS, but in the HTML (I think you just made a typo, but this is worth clarifying.)

Thank you for clarifying, Bartosz. I don't really understand what lives in HTML or CSS, just repeating what has been said. I'm just now observing that the Facebook discussion thread, though marked as "public," is not viewable without logging into Facebook. I don't use Facebook from the browser I'm on currently, but will come back and paste the contents of that thread here shortly in case they are helpful.

Fixed by upstream (Facebook), they now take the last picture of the content and even manage to skip pictures in templates :-]
