Need separate "Intranet (network)" vs "Intranet (website)"?

There are distinct mean from the network view and website view. —Preceding unsigned comment added by ? (talk • contribs) ?

No. This article can describe both. David Spalding (☎ ✉ ✍) 18:06, 2 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This article could describe both usages. However, it currently doesn't properly distinguish between the earliest use of the word as describing an internal (usually RFC1918) internetwork and its more-modern use to mean an internal, corporate website.

RFC1918 does not actually define the word intranet. However the assumption that it is web pages is similar to the assumption that the internet is the WWW. I think the article needs to add a note about these two common-use meanings. --Zaurus (talk) 00:51, 2 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Outdated? [Query]

The dates entered here seems to be old by IT standards. If you are knowledgeable on this topic, please check it for outdated information.

In view of the seriousness of recent site hacks (Russians, Anonymous), please explain if this kind of system is secure from external attacks. If so, how? If not, why not? Thank you for your time, Wordreader (talk) 22:43, 29 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

In addition to an "Update" template, I also added an "Expert needed" template. Perhaps an expert can address the concerns entered above on this Talk Page and update the information, if needed. Again, thank you, Wordreader (talk) 23:03, 29 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed merge with Enterprise private network

There was old merge tag for a proposed merge of Enterprise private network into this article. The discussion wasn't created, so I'm doing it here. --Lemongirl942 (talk) 15:19, 19 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, the usual confusion between a random buzzword and a Wikipedia topic. Please do as time permits, thanks. W Nowicki (talk) 20:26, 28 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I believe that there should either be a merge, and have Enterprise private network re-direct here with a message saying why this should happen, or additional information on Enterprise private network for a clear distinction between the two64.16.149.178 (talk) 14:05, 26 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I'm doing this merge now. Power~enwiki (talk) 03:35, 23 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Editing "Intranet Software" Section

Hello,

I would like to propose a small edit to the "Intranet Software" section of this article. In particular, I would propose that the following section:

"In 2018, there is a range of intranet software in use. They can be placed into a few different categories such as enterprise social networks like Workplace by Facebook, traditional intranet like Microsoft Sharepoint."

Be rewritten as:

"As of 2019, a wide variety of intranet software is in use. They can be placed into a few different categories, including enterprise social networks like Workplace by Facebook and traditional intranets like Microsoft SharePoint or Liferay."

You can view more details about Liferay's intranet offering here: https://www.liferay.com/solutions/intranets. User:Spintendo, User:ToBeFree or C.Fred is this something one of you can help with?

Please note that I am a Liferay employee.
