Here's a proposed button to go along the bottom of all wikis using the Orain wiki farm. <br>[[File:Powered By Orain.png]]<br><br> It is based on the [https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Powered_by_MediaWiki.svg Powered By MediaWiki] icon and the Orain logo. As it is partially based on a graphic copyrighted to Orain, I hereby release all rights to this file to the Orain staff to do with as they see fit.<br><br>Since there is no easy way to determine what wikis are on the Orain service unless someone checks Special:SpecialPages on Orain centered wikis, I propose this icon or something similar be added to the wiki footer with a link back to Orain Meta for easier identification of all wikis connected to the Orain service.

:Sorry, but that I don't think that logo is ready to be put on a wiki farm. It needs to be retouched. --[[User:Jeff|Jeff]] [[User_talk:Jeff|<sup>(talk)</sup>]] [[Special:Contributions/Jeff|<sub>(contribs)</sub>]
::Agreed. We're very grateful for the effort, but it will have to be retouched a bit. [[User:Kudu|Kudu]] ([[User talk:Kudu|talk]]) 14:30, 13 October 2013 (UTC)
::I figured as much. I'm not a very skilled artist, but I would be willing to work on this further unless someone else would be willing to work on this. Either way, thanks for the responses. [[User:Arcane|Arcane]] ([[User talk:Arcane|talk]]) 17:25, 14 October 2013 (UTC)Arcane

:::::::To be honest I think some users like myself would oppose a footer logo button because some of us like how our wikis look almost autonomous like we are our own encyclopedia without any branding except the subdomain.--[[User:Tyreek|Tyreek]] ([[User talk:Tyreek|talk]]) 01:34, 20 October 2013 (UTC)
{{od|7}}Personally, I think that a small, unobtrusive footer button, like the existing Creative Commons and "Powered by MediaWiki" buttons, is a small price to pay for a free wiki hosted without adverts. I'd be happy with it. If the choice were ever to be this button or Wikia-style adverts, I'd definitely prefer this. <span title="Meta-Wiki profile" class="plainlinks">[http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:AugurNZ <font color="#000" face="Times">'''''Augur'''''</font><font color="#33f" family="Arial">'''''NZ'''''</font>]</span> <span title="Meta-Wiki talk" class="plainlinks">[http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User_talk:AugurNZ <font color="#000" size="4">✐</font>]</span>[[Special:Contributions/AugurNZ|<font size="4" color="#000">⌕</font>]] 19:40, 24 October 2013 (UTC)
:Agreed, but maybe it could be removed if a price was paid; I would absolutely comply with a request to remove the footer for any paying customer. --[[User:Jeff|Jeff]] [[User_talk:Jeff|<sup>(talk)</sup>]] [[Special:Contributions/Jeff|<sub>(contribs)</sub>]] 19:58, 24 October 2013 (UTC)
::I'm not going to charge someone to remove a button. We're not a "if you pay for it we'll do it" farm. If a wiki simply doesn't want or like the button, I have no problem in removing it. <font face="MV Boli">[[User:Dusti|'''<font color="#ff0000">D</font><font color="#ff6600">u</font><font color="#009900">s</font><font color="#0000ff">t</font><font color="#6600cc">i</font>''']][[User talk:Dusti|<sup>*Let's talk!*</sup>]]</font> 20:18, 24 October 2013 (UTC)
:::I totally agree Dusti :D --[[User:Tyreek|Tyreek]] ([[User talk:Tyreek|talk]]) 12:23, 25 October 2013 (UTC)
I did some fiddling around with the footer, and after a lot of reverts, I managed to get a reasonable one though it is in the archives. However, I have implemented this idea on [[test:|our testwiki]] for now using a variable. I'll leave this in the works for now instead of enabling it globally, but when it is, it will adhere what Dusti said. If a community does not want it, they can ask and we will disable it easy. If a community wishes to opt-in to it now before we enable it globally, tell me and I will do so. [[User:John|John]] ([[User talk:John|talk]]) 20:25, 29 November 2013 (UTC)
