Removal of logo...

Sorry, I *think* the issue is that the Infobox Philippine political party wants to use Party logo and then calls the Infobox political party with logo. But Infobox political party has party logo as a depreciated parameter. So when I went in to fix depreciated parameters on things in the category of depreciated parameters for the infobox political party, it got caught up in that. I need to go through the entries that have Infobox Philippine political party and make sure that they have party logo rather than changed to logo. (Best of course would be if the Infobox Philippine political party changed to use logo like its parent infobox does. Would you prefer that that one change?)Naraht (talk) 16:29, 19 February 2017 (UTC)

Logo for Nepalese Party

File:Rpp-electionsymbol2064.PNG was, I believe loaded by you, but wasn't counted as being used in Wikipedia because Rastriya Prajatantra Party used infobox political party rather than infobox Nepalese political party. Can we fix?Naraht (talk) 05:01, 20 February 2017 (UTC)
