I confess! The vandal was me. I reverted it this morning and hope I didn't
cause too much upset. It was only meant to be a playful celebration of a
long-awaited milestone, but ^demon has appropriately blocked me for 31
hours. I promise I won't do it again.
Cheers!

Hi,
Anyone now going to
mediawiki.org will see this image for the logo:

It's the regular MediaWiki logo with a moustache and a "NOW WITH MUSTACHE"
inscription; the change was made this morning.
I'm pretty sure that the change is an excited reference to MediaWiki now
making use of this:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mustache_(template_system)
However, as far as I can tell there's no explanation for the change
anywhere in the site. Which means that a fair number of visitors to the
site, I would have to guess, will think that it's been hacked. That was my
first instinct, at least, when I saw the logo.
I don't think there's anything wrong with being lighthearted on a
documentation page, or even with playing around the logo - Google wrote the
book on that sort of thing. But this particular change seems like an inept
attempt at humor; could it please be reverted?
