Me too. That why i mostly focused on what could be better I still think that its not good to have a wiki and also on the forum “wiki” topics. One place for all of that would be IMO nicer.
Yeah totally with you on that. The Arch wiki is great but the best way of finding a relevant page in it is to seach on your favorite search engine “kde wayland arch wiki” for example.
On that aspect its pretty close to what we currently have https://meta.discourse.org/c/documentation/10. The big buttons for each categories will still be here and the search functionality is better.
The only thing imo we could improve from how they using it in the discourse forum/wiki: making a space where we can draft entries. When a entry is ready we move it in the corresponding place and lock the comments.
I have almost never used it, I’ve used eos for over a year and I can count on one hand how often I used the eos wiki, the arch wiki is usually what has saved me if i encounter issues on eos. This is from straight up web searches btw i didn’t specifically go to archwiki to search for solutions, it was just what came up more often as a response to my search queries.
And it doesn’t really do tutorials, just info and example commands.
I think you might be right though that the eos wiki tformat where it’s tutorial articles rather than informative ones is very good for the noobs.
I guess it is a really bad idea, as bad as any limit put on anything. The sane solution is obvious: allow to exclude posts with more than 2 images from what you see and let the authors know how many people filtered the post out for that reason.
Equally applicable to anything you want other people not to do.
Yeah its called being respectful to the thread an not hogging it.
many really wont care.
Unfortunately Narcissism has taken a strong root in many today and they believe everything is about them.
Again I think that it really depends on the Context of the Thread and in the Context from which this Thread spawned its just inappropriate to really post more than 2 at one time.
Well at then end of the day the person that spawned the creation of this thread continues with the same hording behavior So apparently blocking said person will be the only solution. Its a shame someone takes something that many enjoy then hog the whole damn thing.
And the EOS wiki is pretty simple, a little outdated, and not the most encompassing.
2 things on that
1- there’s not really any reason to just plagiarize the entire Arch wiki. It’s already fantastic and relevant to EOS anyways. Redundancy seems like a waste of time.
2 - volunteers have been requested on many occasions to update/keep updated the wiki. . . If you’re going to complain about the state of it and yet not offer to help fix and maintain it, YOU are part of the reason it is going to continue as it is.
I still think that its not good to have a wiki and also on the forum “wiki” topics. One place for all of that would be IMO nicer.
