    I've perused several of the wiki sites, and noticed the same strange behaviour:

    The "PHP wiki" button at the top of the page sends you to that project's wiki site.

    This is counterintuitive:
    Phpwiki should send you to phpwiki project page. Or at least an "about" page.
    The projects own name and logo should be at the top of the page. "powered by..." at the botto,.

      The intent here is for the user to replace the logo with one appropriate for the wiki. (For example, see the Nomic Wiki at http://www.nomic.net/~nomicwiki.) However, it turns out that few people do that.

      Tehcnical details:

      The logo which will be displayed is "themes/" . $THEME . "/images/" . $WIKI_NAME . "Logo.png" (read the dots as concatenation).

      So if you run the FooWiki and you use the Bar theme, your logo will be displayed instead if you call it FooWikiLogo.png and put it in themes/Bar/images.

      It is only counterintuitive if you don't customize the logo to your WikiName.
      The logo always pointed to the wiki's StartPage and we will not change this.

      Links to the main PhpWiki site are spread in the pgsrc docs, all those links starting with PhpWiki: as well as the ReleaseNotes.
