Description Amir E. Aharoni 2014-11-14 17:28:09 UTC
For a short time in 2010 the Hebrew Wikipedia had a logo with a font that the community didn't like. That logo is currently stored at
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Wikipedia-logo-v2-he.png

And the SVG version is
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Wikipedia-logo-v2-he.svg

It was soon replaced by this logo:
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:New_logo_Culmus_David.svg

See Bug 30065.

InitialiseSettings.php says:
'hewiki' => '//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/he/b/bc/Wiki.png'

This is not great, because most other languages have something like this:
'//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/43/Wikipedia-logo-v2-hak.png'

Beyond the mess in the config files, there's also another problem. It confuses people, because the bad logo, which the community deprecated four years ago, still finds its way to t-shirts, fundraising banners, and so on.

What needs to be done:
1. The deprecated images at Commons need to be moved to some other name. These are:
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Wikipedia-logo-v2-he.png
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Wikipedia-logo-v2-he.svg

2. These images at commons need to be moved to the good names in Commons:
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:New_logo_Culmus_David.svg
https://he.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Wiki.png

3. The logos from Hebrew Wikipedia should be deleted.

4. InitialiseSettings.php must be updated to point to the Commons image with the Wikipedia-logo-v2-he.png name.

Thank you.

> 3. The logos from Hebrew Wikipedia should be deleted.

Or we could just keep it for {{historical}} purposes.
