Dear Sysadmins,
Farsi Wikipedia (fawiki) changes its logo every year at Nowruz https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nowruz (Iranian New Year, 21 March) for two weeks by editing MediaWiki:Common.css, circumventing a formal request in the "Wikimedia-Site-Requests" Phabricator project which will be definitely declined because it violates the neutrality principle and is discouraged by the Wikimedia Foundation, as demonstrated here https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Logo#Temporary_logo_variants.
How should we deal with this?
Regards, 4nn1l2
Now that Farsi Wikipedia has its logo changed for holidays, I assume someone should update the logo page at MetaWiki https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Logo#Temporary_logo_variants and announce the new situation. What do you think, Martin Urbanec?
