Troubleshooting

Installed math extension [1]
Tried MathML -> seems there's no public server
Tried MathJAX -> the math tags get only converted to $-signs nothing else :(
adding default path of public server(s) -> no change;
adding newer default path that's available from the MathJAX site -> no change
status: does not work yet
Seems to be a known problem since Mediawiki 1.23 [2].
Suggested solution: use SimpleMathJax extension instead [3].
SimpleMathJax Works :) (but only with math delimiters not with $ and $$)

On mobile devices the wikipedia logo is shown instead of the correct one: Reason: [4] -> [5] -> [6]
- p-logo at the bottom ... LOCAL title=MediaWiki:Common.css -- simply commented it out -- works :)
The normal logo does not show up even standard when $wgLogo is set to standard value for new wiki version (manual page for $wgLogo) -- why?? -- status: yet unresolved
- LOCAL location of logos /w/resources/assets/

Problem resolved! It had nothing to do with image sizes. PHP stuff changed its behavior due to an server side software update. Since a newer mediawiki version dealt with that issue an mediawiki version update to 1.24.1 resolved the problem.

After uploading an 205,2kB SVG-image the uploaded file page [7] isn't viewable anymore
Following error meassage appears:
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 67108864 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 25485840 bytes) in /users/apm/www/w/includes/media/Bitmap.php on line 552
- known problem: bplaced forum entry; uploading files - stumbling blocks; mediawiki related error info
- it seems in php.ini the webhoster can set a memory limit
- this limit may or may not be over-ridable in the LocalSettings.php ... (Mediawiki==v1.20>v1.51) => no "ini_set('memory_limit', '__M');" override.
- Todo: find and try. google-search; maybe similar problem

Added favicon by just putting an .ico into hosters root directory
