Transparent Background for Logos

With the addition of "Dark Mode" on Wikipedia, some images looks odd with white background. Logos with transparent background still shows white background. Can someone with the right knowledge fix this. AdiDas5501 (talk) 17:46, 21 February 2025 (UTC)

Always link to an example page when reporting a problem. Also see the information at Help:Pictures#Dark mode. |logo_class=skin-invert-image might work for you. – Jonesey95 (talk) 17:54, 21 February 2025 (UTC)

Is it intended that this is a free-text parameter? Seems like something people will exploit for very niche design choices. I feel like a simple |logo_skin_invert=yes/no would be more efficient. IceWelder [✉] 20:52, 21 February 2025 (UTC)

All of the image parameters are free text. If someone puts in something invalid, like |image_upright=It's my birthday!, this template won't stop them. Adding a parameter for each possible CSS logo class seems like a lot of work, but if a volunteer wants to pursue it, the sandbox is open for editing. – Jonesey95 (talk) 16:28, 23 February 2025 (UTC)

I was under the assumption that there is only "skin-invert". Is this not correct? IceWelder [✉] 16:48, 23 February 2025 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Catalogue of CSS classes is a partial list of classes available for use on Wikipedia. – Jonesey95 (talk) 15:53, 25 February 2025 (UTC)

How many of these are relevant to infobox images? `skin-invert` isn't even listed. IceWelder [✉] 17:39, 25 February 2025 (UTC)

I don't know. From a quick scan, it appears that noresize, thumb*, mw-no-invert, and probably more classes apply to images. – Jonesey95 (talk) 18:12, 25 February 2025 (UTC)

Skin-invert changes some hues of the logo like light yellow. Example 2405:201:8013:400F:F970:E8CC:953A:CD76 (talk) 04:03, 8 March 2025 (UTC)

An argument for OpenStreetMap map

Hi, I propose to add an argument for OpenStreetMap. Something like Template:Infobox museum. Thanks, Hooman Mallahzadeh (talk) 09:48, 3 March 2025 (UTC)

Don't we have Geo coordinate header templates specifically for this purpose? IceWelder [✉] 12:26, 3 March 2025 (UTC)

I mean an OSM map that shows the "headquarters location" for example from Apple Inc.. This coordinates exists in its wikidata item see here, which shows OSM too. This map can be mandatory for all companies, possibly in a hide/show template. Hooman Mallahzadeh (talk) 19:05, 3 March 2025 (UTC)

This should not be mandatory. Nikkimaria (talk) 05:01, 4 March 2025 (UTC)

Details of "incorporation"

@Rich Farmbrough: |incorporated= is an interesting addition, but I believe its placement should not be as high up. Perhaps just below the location would be a better fit? Additiobally, we should probably amend the documentation to limit when this should be used. In 95% of cases, the place of incorporation is likely to just be the country the company is based in, and then it is not really important to include. The caption should probably read "Place of incorporation" or perhaps "Jurisdiction" to avoid it being mistaken for the incorporation date. IceWelder [✉] 06:24, 3 May 2025 (UTC)

I think it belongs with founders, as it is part of how the company was set up.

I'm interested in who would mistake it for incorporation date and how. There is a comment on the documentation, and it is not in the short form. Possibly we should have incorporation date and jurisdiction. We live in a complex world, companies trading in one jurisdiction may or may not have a subsidiary in that jurisdiction. In Amercia jurisdiction is particularly important, and is a political hit topic right now.

I'm reasonably relaxed with renaming it to "Jurisdiction" if you wish, be bold, however it's a bit ambiguous since jurisdiction is hierarchical, and companies are also liable under all the jurisdictions where they trade, and sometimes others.

I have no idea how companies "reincorporate" in another jurisdiction, but they do, this may have some relevance, it's a good reasons to leave it as a free text field.

All the best: Rich Farmbrough 15:18, 3 May 2025 (UTC).

Transparent Logo Problem Persists

As in this wiki Ancestry.com, when viewed in dark mode, the logo is shown against a white background which looks odd and defies the purpose of having a Transparent background logo.

However other templates doesn't contain this problem, like this FamilySearch. I am not looking for the skin-invert fix, i want the background to be shown transparent.

Can someone with the right knowledge fix this template‽ JDas123 (talk) 09:44, 7 May 2025 (UTC)
