It does seem confusing and I had to see who added the Wiki text.
Unfortunately, it was me. I always build with --disable-logserver
and haven't used the --nologserver option.

So, I must have added the comment based on a discussion here or on IRC.
But, checking with:

     mythbackend --help nologserver
     mythbackend version: master [v0.28-pre-583-ga86e018] www.mythtv.org
     Option:      --nologserver

     Type:        bool
     Default:     false
     Description: Disable all logging but console.

Console logging is exactly what it does. In that case, it doesn't match
what you're used to in 0.25. If you want that, then you have to get a
distribution that was built with --disable-logserver or build it yourself.
