'''Note:''' If you use the boilerplate template, the header will contain an <code><nowiki>{{Ordinal}}</nowiki></code> template. When adding logos, simply add the number you're up to into this template and it will output as 1st, 2nd, etc. This template simplifies the process of renumbering if a logo is removed or relocated on the page for some reason. | '''Note:''' If you use the boilerplate template, the header will contain an <code><nowiki>{{Ordinal}}</nowiki></code> template.
