Would it be possible to change the inscription of the logo?
{uikipedias po'u le zifre vricyjuncku} is ungrammatical Lojban,
since {po'u} cannot attach to a bare cmevla. I would just use
{uikipedias zifre vricyjuncku}, without unneeded cmavo.

(And even if it was {la wikipedias}, {no'u} would be better than
{po'u}. {no'u} links two sumti that refer to the same thing. {po'u}
restricts the referents of the first sumti to those that are also
referents of the second sumti. When both sumti have the same
single referent, {po'u} is not strictly wrong, just misleading, as it
suggests that the first sumti has many referents and that it
needs to be restricted to just one or some of them.)

There are also some pages with similarly ungrammatical names,
such as {gligu'e cu jamna la zynzebar}.

I would change the odd {fi'i do vi la uikipedias} to something
more meaningful like {fi'i doi vitke be la uikipedias}.

I prefer {stika} rather than {galfi} for "edit", because editing normally
involves making adjustments to something, not changing something
into something else. For example, if I edit the page named {lojban},
I am modifying the page named {lojban} by adding something to it or
changing something in it, I am not turning the page named {lojban}
into something that is no longer the page named {lojban}.
