Logo and Favicon
I'm sorry guys but I did not get how to change the logo and the favicon reading the description on this page. So far I have the URL of the logo I want to use, but what do I do with that after ? My wiki is zero.miraheze.org --Kevain (talk) 08:58, 14 October 2018 (UTC)

After uploading a logo on your wiki, go to your picture page (Ex: File:.png) You will find your picture with largest size on bottom of header. click on picture, will get a link on addressbar. (such as: static.Miraheze.org/zerowiki/XX/X/.png) copy the link and put on Special:ManageWiki(Settings). আ হ ম সাকিব   (T)    (C)  11:47, 14 October 2018 (UTC)

Got it! Thank you very much for your help. I'll add a step on the "How to" suggesting to upload the file on the wiki before doing anything else :) I tried with external links and that's why it did not work ! --Kevain (talk) 16:58, 19 October 2018 (UTC)

I suggest:

After those is the option for Category. This option allows you to put your wiki into a category of your choosing that will allow users to more easily find your wiki through WikiDiscover. If your wiki doesn't fit into any of the supplied categories, feel free to make a request for a new one.

Additional Features
To access additional features, select "Additional options" in the last dropdown list.

The final general option is for changing the default skin on your wiki. Any skin you have enabled alongside the default skins will be made available. The skin you select will be made visible to all users, even those logged out, unless they change it in their settings.

Logo and Favicon
To change the logo and favicon of your wiki, you'll need to :
 * 1) upload the logo on your wiki using the "Import a file" page.
 * 2) Go to your picture page (Ex: File:.png) You will find your picture with largest size on bottom of header. click on picture, will get a link on addressbar.
 * 3) Open the page for the file you want to be your logo.
 * 4) Right click on the image and select an option to "Open image in a new tab" OR drag and drop the image into a new tab on your browser.
 * 5) Copy the URL of the current page without https: ou http (such as: //static.Miraheze.org/zerowiki/XX/X/.png)
 * 6) Paste it in the Logo textbox

Once you are done, make sure to clear the cache in your browser in order to see the updated image. Please be aware that the change may not be immediate, and can take several minutes to go through.

Enable Media Viewer Beta Mode
This page is protected, so I can't edit it. The Enable Media Viewer Beta Mode setting (from additional settings > media) is undocumented. Please add it to this page. Just say " adds a toggle for the multimedia viewer extension at user preferences ". Heddy (talk) 16:18, 3 February 2019 (UTC)
 * To be honest, Special:ManageWiki* should be the sole source for documenting what a setting does. This page shouldn’t as otherwise it will become unusably big. John (talk) 19:29, 3 February 2019 (UTC)
 * You seem to be confused. Clicking the help button on Special:ManageWiki brings me to this page, not to any other page. This is certainly the location for documenting what each setting does, and the page clearly already does that for every setting except the one I mentioned. Heddy (talk) 02:42, 7 February 2019 (UTC)
 * I'm not confused, this help page is meant to be general help for the extension which everyone can use who uses the extension. The place for setting documentation is on Special:ManageWiki itself in the form of a tooltip/i button. The fact this page already documents settings means it is serving a purpose it shouldn't but I won't be removing them until the documentation is moved over to the extension itself. This is already a task to be done under T3868. John (talk) 19:41, 7 February 2019 (UTC)

ManageWiki suggestions
On special:managewiki, i have some suggestions, such as: any more suggestions?-- Psl631 (Let's Chat!) 19:25, 16 February 2019 (UTC)
 * I want to have ability to choose how old users need to be to be auto confirmed
 * While managing wiki extensions, after installing the extension some additional checkboxes, below the extension, could be used to for example: managing that extension and what for settings that extension could have
 * Ability to configure protection levels and the $wg(blah blah) parameters on Special:ManageWikiSettings
 * and also a button to delete the wiki if the user is the founder, but gives a warning with "Are you sure to delete the wiki" if clicking the button.
