Hi folks,


I'm happy to announce that we are re-licensing the Wikimedia logos on Commons to CC BY-SA 3.0: https://blog.wikimedia.org/2014/10/24/wikimedia-logos-have-been-freed/


I would really appreciate your help with replacing the {{Copyright by Wikimedia}}[1] templates on the logos with the {{Wikimedia trademark}}[2] and {{cc-by-sa-3.0}}[3] templates. But we don't want to replace templates on the MediaWiki[4] and the Community[5] logos, which were originally released under free licenses.


There are also some pages on Commons, like this one[6], that may need to be updated based on the re-licensed logos.


Thanks,

Yana
