List of Participants
Wikipedia:WikiProject Linux#Participants is a bit of a mess. The list includes a user who only made two edits five years ago[1] and one who retired from Wikipedia and deleted his username.[2][3][4]. Some entries are dated, some are not. The list is neither alphabetical nor chronological - some names were added at the bottom, some at the top.
I propose the following cleanup:
- Any user name that redirects to a new user name will be changed to the new user name.
- Registered users who have not made an edit in five years will be deleted, with a note placed on their user talk page saying that the name will be re-inserted on request.
- Usernames that have been deleted, retired, stuck out from the list or indefinitely banned from Wikipedia will be deleted after two years.
- All dates will be removed from the list and the list will be alphabetized. An instruction will be added to insert your name alphabetically and sign with three tildes instead of four.
- Alternative to above: Dates will be added to names that are currently without them and the list will be sorted chronologically. An instruction will be added to insert your name at the bottom of the list.
Suggestions for better ways to clean up the list are welcome. --Guy Macon (talk) 20:14, 5 February 2012 (UTC)
Cleanup and Redesign of wikiprojct: Linux
I have spent the last week or so organizing and redesigning this wikiproject. you can see my proposed redesign here in my sandbox. I encourage you to leave any suggestions you have for improvement in this section. If you'd like to contact me personally, please leave a message on my talk page. I will continue to modify my template based on suggestions I receive. I will update all of wikiproject:Linux with my reorganization once there seems to be a general consensus of approval among project members. 16bitz 21:39, 11 April 2012 (UTC)
Ad snuck into SystemRescueCD page?
Hello all - love the project, keep it up!
FYI: Just looked over the SystemRescueCD page, and the last "External Link" looks to me like an ad was snuck into the page. It links to a rescue product from "Lazesoft" software, which doesn't seem to be related to the SystemRescueCD project. Am I right about this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.128.192.207 (talk) 14:17, 12 August 2012 (UTC)
- You're right, it doesn't really seem appropriate there so I went ahead and removed it. Thanks. - SudoGhost 14:46, 12 August 2012 (UTC)
Linux Mint
Hi guys, not sure if this is the right place to ask, since I'm not officially a member or anything, but I'm working on the Linux Mint page to try and update it and clean it up a bit. If anyone feels like lending a hand, feel free. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Old Marcus (talk • contribs) 23:45, 17 January 2009 (UTC)
- I'll be helping out too. BTW you can join by adding the userbox to your user page. Wei2912 (talk) 09:43, 11 February 2012 (UTC)

Wikipoject:Linux Barnstar
I noticed that this Wikiproject doesn't have it's own barnstar yet, so I went ahead an designed one. Any suggestions are welcome. I'll add this to the iwkipoject barnstars page once I receive a few comments of approval. 16bitz 18:24, 6 April 2012 (UTC)

Request for comments: Establish standards for version history tables in software articles
I'd like to introduce the Template:Version template to Wikipedia with the goal to establish one standard for version history tables (or lists). It simplifies creation of release histories, standardizes release stages and makes the content more accessible. Please comment on the template talk page (there already is some discussion). Thanks for your contribution. Jesus Presley (talk) 07:09, 28 November 2012 (UTC)
elementary OS
Hi everyone, I'm a former Wikipedian who came back to create an article about elementary OS. As you can see, there were previous attempts at this, all of which resulted in deletion. I've created what I believe to be a notable, neutral, verifiable base article at User:Kennethsime/sandbox, and copied it to Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/elementary OS. Unfortunately, I believe that an administrator must actually create the page at elementary OS, as I seem to be unable to myself. If anyone can offer help, please let me know. Kennethsime (talk) 06:07, 5 December 2012 (UTC)
- I am not sure if the current beta version justifies notabiliy. An interesting project nonetheless - however, has it received substantially more media coverage? Check the reasons for deletion, and decide yourself if you want to re-open discussion for this article.
I recommend writing the article in your userspace as a starting point for discussion. Moving it to the article namespace is done within seconds.Sorry, realized you already did that. Jesus Presley (talk) 11:36, 5 December 2012 (UTC)- I actually think there has been quite a bit of media coverage. Webupd8, OMG Ubuntu, and Tech Drive-In are all listed in sources in my "beta" article, and it's not hard to find others. How would I go about pursuing this? Kennethsime (talk) 04:42, 6 December 2012 (UTC)
- "The page title you have tried to create has been protected from creation. The reason given is: AfD - see also Elementary (software project). [...] If you feel this page should be created, please raise the matter at deletion review, being careful to quote the exact page name or address and the reasons you feel the page should now be created. Pages are usually only blocked from creation after significant discussion or disruption, so good reasons for seeking review are usually required. You will also need to show that the previous concerns are no longer a problem.". Also, give the users that deleted the article a note on their talk page, that's always good to get things rolling. I will weigh in with my support. Jesus Presley (talk) 04:54, 6 December 2012 (UTC)
- I hadn't found that, I did create an article for creation page although that process is apparently backlogged. The last admin to delete the page advised something along the lines of "if it makes it through AfC then the recreate will not be controversial." I will pursue the matter on deletion review as well. Thanks! Kennethsime (talk) 08:18, 9 December 2012 (UTC)

- PS: Partial Support. Last deletion was March 2009. Distro is available now and under active development, with some more secondary sources. I think it's worth at least a stub. Jesus Presley (talk) 11:47, 5 December 2012 (UTC)

Announcement -- WikiProject Open!
Hi WikiProject Linux people,
I'd like to invite you to check out what we are doing with WikiProject Open. Current participants come primarily from a background in open educational resources and open access publishing, but we do share an interest in free and open source software, have many Linux users etc. We would like this WikiProject to complement and support existing efforts to collaborate around these kinds of content on Wikipedia, and would welcome any input from WikiProject Linux or others in the open space. (If any of you know of active WikiProjects that would be relevant, please let us know on our project talk page.)
If any of you would like to join an planning webinar, we have two scheduled for this week; see our WikiProject Open planning page for details. -Pete (talk) 01:19, 13 October 2013 (UTC)

Invitation to help craft a proposal
Surveillance awareness day is a proposal for the English Wikipedia to take special steps to promote awareness of global surveillance on February 11, 2014. That date is chosen to coincide with similar actions being taken by organizations such as Mozilla, Reddit, and the Electronic Frontier Foundation.
Feedback from members of this Wikiproject would be greatly appreciated. Please come join us as we brainstorm, polish, and present this proposal to the Wikipedia Community. --HectorMoffet (talk) 12:18, 18 January 2014 (UTC)
Popular pages tool update
As of January, the popular pages tool has moved from the Toolserver to Wikimedia Tool Labs. The code has changed significantly from the Toolserver version, but users should notice few differences. Please take a moment to look over your project's list for any anomalies, such as pages that you expect to see that are missing or pages that seem to have more views than expected. Note that unlike other tools, this tool aggregates all views from redirects, which means it will typically have higher numbers. (For January 2014 specifically, 35 hours of data is missing from the WMF data, which was approximated from other dates. For most articles, this should yield a more accurate number. However, a few articles, like ones featured on the Main Page, may be off).
Web tools, to replace the ones at tools:~alexz/pop, will become available over the next few weeks at toollabs:popularpages. All of the historical data (back to July 2009 for some projects) has been copied over. The tool to view historical data is currently partially available (assessment data and a few projects may not be available at the moment). The tool to add new projects to the bot's list is also available now (editing the configuration of current projects coming soon). Unlike the previous tool, all changes will be effective immediately. OAuth is used to authenticate users, allowing only regular users to make changes to prevent abuse. A visible history of configuration additions and changes is coming soon. Once tools become fully available, their toolserver versions will redirect to Labs.
If you have any questions, want to report any bugs, or there are any features you would like to see that aren't currently available on the Toolserver tools, see the updated FAQ or contact me on my talk page. Mr.Z-bot (talk) (for Mr.Z-man) 05:14, 23 February 2014 (UTC)
Comment on the WikiProject X proposal
Hello there! As you may already know, most WikiProjects here on Wikipedia struggle to stay active after they've been founded. I believe there is a lot of potential for WikiProjects to facilitate collaboration across subject areas, so I have submitted a grant proposal with the Wikimedia Foundation for the "WikiProject X" project. WikiProject X will study what makes WikiProjects succeed in retaining editors and then design a prototype WikiProject system that will recruit contributors to WikiProjects and help them run effectively. Please review the proposal here and leave feedback. If you have any questions, you can ask on the proposal page or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you for your time! (Also, sorry about the posting mistake earlier. If someone already moved my message to the talk page, feel free to remove this posting.) Harej (talk) 22:47, 1 October 2014 (UTC)
WikiProject progress
One interesting QA tool in Wikipedia:WikiProject Video games is their progress meters. This could be turned into a template and be useful for all WikiProjects.
Here it is the progress for WikiProject Linux:
1% of articles and lists FA-Class or FL-Class: 0% complete | ||
5% of articles and lists GA-Class or better: 11.1% complete | ||
10% of articles B-Class or better: 44.3% complete | ||
20% of articles C-Class or better: 149.6% complete | ||
75% of articles Start-Class or better: 102.5% complete | ||

Standard date format for references in all Linux articles
I propose to use the date format used by
namely the ISO 8601 date format, in references for all articles that belong more than to any other WikiProject to the WikiProject Linux or one of its sub-projects.
A common standard will make editing, reading and in- and outgoing sharing for all Linux-related articles easier.
This proposal does not cover the article texts itself. They can stay the way they are. But currently one can see inconsistencies in reference sections, e.g. the article Linux uses at least three [sic!] date formats in the reference section. 80.134.94.228 (talk) 00:34, 15 November 2014 (UTC)
This edit harmonized three formats into one, saving 857 characters in the reference section. 80.134.94.228 (talk) 01:40, 15 November 2014 (UTC)
- Oppose. Per WP:MOSDATE, I believe there is a preference for dates to be spelled out as Month dd, yyyy. Further, in the diff you've given (which I have reverted), most of the dates were already in that apparently preferred format and the few that were not should be changed to that preferred format, not all of them into purely numeric format. Msnicki (talk) 05:58, 15 November 2014 (UTC)
- Oppose. Per WP:MOSDATE. Also, Wikipedia doesn't follow what other sites do. There are too many different sites with their own way. Bgwhite (talk)
- Comment. The long debate started at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Software. This should be considered forum shopping. Bgwhite (talk) 07:07, 15 November 2014 (UTC)
WikiProject X is live!
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c1/WikiProject_X_icon.svg/100px-WikiProject_X_icon.svg.png)
Hello everyone!
You may have received a message from me earlier asking you to comment on my WikiProject X proposal. The good news is that WikiProject X is now live! In our first phase, we are focusing on research. At this time, we are looking for people to share their experiences with WikiProjects: good, bad, or neutral. We are also looking for WikiProjects that may be interested in trying out new tools and layouts that will make participating easier and projects easier to maintain. If you or your WikiProject are interested, check us out! Note that this is an opt-in program; no WikiProject will be required to change anything against its wishes. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you!
Note: To receive additional notifications about WikiProject X on this talk page, please add this page to Wikipedia:WikiProject X/Newsletter. Otherwise, this will be the last notification sent about WikiProject X.

Unusual typography at SCHED DEADLINE
I cam upon the article SCHED DEADLINE by chance and was immediately was struck by the unconventional typography. Firstly the title is in all caps and secondly every occurrence of the term and similar other terms are "encapsulated" in a grey box produced by using "<code></code>" markup. I'm not at all familiar with the topic of software so I'm not sure if this deviation from the usual WP typography conventions is normal for articles about software. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 14:56, 17 February 2015 (UTC)
- If one looks at the Linux kernel literature, the common, agreed upon name for this scheduler is SCHED_DEADLINE, all caps with an underscore, so the above is a misspelling. Hence I think, with the underscore, this is the correct title. You're correct that the name is not programming code, so shouldn't be encased in code tags--this was probably just a well-intentioned highlighting of the term that isn't quite appropriate. While unusual, this sort of naming isn't unique in the programming world, e.g., HAKMEM, SLUB (software). --Mark viking (talk) 17:49, 17 February 2015 (UTC)

This is a one-time-only message to inform you about a technical proposal to revive your Popular Pages list in the 2016 Community Wishlist Survey that I think you may be interested in reviewing and perhaps even voting for:
If the above proposal gets in the Top 10 based on the votes, there is a high likelihood of this bot being restored so your project will again see monthly updates of popular pages.
Further, there are over 260 proposals in all to review and vote for, across many aspects of wikis.
Thank you for your consideration. Please note that voting for proposals continues through December 12, 2016.

Schily removing Linux specific notes on system calls
schily (talk · contribs) (Jörg Schilling, of cdrecord fame) has removed Linux specific details I added to open (system call).[5] I do not understand why these Linux-specific details can not be added, as they are absolutely necessary for making UNIX-like systems concurrent. I do not want to start a revert war, so I am hoping to start a discussion here. The majority of UNIX like systems are Linux systems. I maintain that covering Linux behavior is more important than documenting POSIX, if we had to choose. But we don't, we just have to qualify sentences with "this only works on Linux", like I did. Removal is unnecessary. Note that I am User:Ysangkok and also complained about Schily removing my Systemd edit (see above). --146.140.210.15 (talk) 13:59, 16 January 2017 (UTC)
- While it is fine to seek advice at places such as this if you are uncertain of your position, the first step in resolving almost all conflicts over content is to discuss the conflict with your opponent on the article talk page. Wikipedia is built around a model of collegiality and collaboration through discussion. If the other editor won't discuss, consider WP:DISCFAIL; if discussion happens, but fails then try dispute resolution (which generally will not be allowed without extensive prior discussion). Finally, since you have an account please do not edit without logging in. Regards, TransporterMan (TALK) 17:44, 16 January 2017 (UTC)

Popular pages report
We – Community Tech – are happy to announce that the Popular pages bot is back up-and-running (after a one year hiatus)! You're receiving this message because your WikiProject or task force is signed up to receive the popular pages report. Every month, Community Tech bot will post at Wikipedia:WikiProject Linux/Archive 2/Popular pages with a list of the most-viewed pages over the previous month that are within the scope of WikiProject Linux.
We've made some enhancements to the original report. Here's what's new:
- The pageview data includes both desktop and mobile data.

Windows Subsystem for Linux targets GNU software?
Hello.
I was wondering if someone familiar with subject could please join this discussion: Talk:Windows Subsystem for Linux § Windows Subsystem for Linux targets GNU software. Is there any encyclopedic value in it?
The editor who started the thread seems to intend for the thread to justify this contribution:
Windows Subsystem for Linux is mostly limited to run the GNU runtime system and libraries, which most of the software targets when dealing with operating systems with Linux.
My concern is that this contribution is intricate details that makes sense to only a very small minority and is redundant to this sentence, which is already in the article:
This subsystem cannot run all Linux software, such as [...]

Firefox
Does Firefox really belong in this WikiProject? I ask because it's a cross-platform web browser, perhaps the most cross-platform one of all, except the command-line browsers. So it's certainly not Linux-exclusive. The only argument for it being in this WikiProject that I can come up with is that many distributions (e.g. Debian, Fedora and Ubuntu) ship with it as their default browser. Fuse809 (contribs · email · talk · uploads) 12:45, 22 July 2017 (UTC)
- Hello, Fuse
- This WikiProject was never supposed to mutually exclusive to others. Any app that runs on Linux and has a Wikipedia article falls within its purview.
- Also, please do not let metonymy distract you. The app that you run on Linux and call "Firefox" is not the same app that you run on Windows and call "Firefox", no matter how similar in look and functionality they are.
- Best regards,

The article BackSlash Linux was recently created. Since it was previously deleted per the discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/BackSlash Linux, I thought it might qualify for WP:CSD#G4, but the reviewing admin said the text is substantially different from the deleted version. Also, there appears to be a conflict of interest issue with one of the article's authors. So I'm just bringing this to the attention of this WikiProject so that it can be reviewed by editors experienced in this area and they can determined what (if anything) needs to be done with this article. Thank you. Deli nk (talk) 16:05, 7 August 2017 (UTC)

This is a notice to let you know about Article alerts, a fully-automated subscription-based news delivery system designed to notify WikiProjects and Taskforces when articles are entering Articles for deletion, Requests for comment, Peer review and other workflows (full list). The reports are updated on a daily basis, and provide brief summaries of what happened, with relevant links to discussion or results when possible. A certain degree of customization is available; WikiProjects and Taskforces can choose which workflows to include, have individual reports generated for each workflow, have deletion discussion transcluded on the reports, and so on. An example of a customized report can be found here.
If you are already subscribed to Article Alerts, it is now easier to report bugs and request new features. We are also in the process of implementing a "news system", which would let projects know about ongoing discussions on a wikipedia-wide level, and other things of interest. The developers also note that some subscribing WikiProjects and Taskforces use the display=none
parameter, but forget to give a link to their alert page. Your alert page should be located at "Wikipedia:PROJECT-OR-TASKFORCE-HOMEPAGE/Article alerts". Questions and feedback should be left at Wikipedia talk:Article alerts.
Message sent by User:Addbot to all active wiki projects per request, Comments on the message and bot are welcome here.

- I subscribed the project to the bot and have transcluded and linked the alerts page on the main WikiProject page. —PaleoNeonate – 08:25, 7 October 2017 (UTC)
- A link to the assessment log was also added at the bottom of the assessment page, which allows to track changes. A future possibility would be to create a sidebar with those tools. —PaleoNeonate – 08:36, 7 October 2017 (UTC)
WikiProject collaboration notice from the Portals WikiProject
The reason I am contacting you is because there are one or more portals that fall under this subject, and the Portals WikiProject is currently undertaking a major drive to automate portals that may affect them.
Portals are being redesigned.
The new design features are being applied to existing portals.
At present, we are gearing up for a maintenance pass of portals in which the introduction section will be upgraded to no longer need a subpage. In place of static copied and pasted excerpts will be self-updating excerpts displayed through selective transclusion, using the template {{Transclude lead excerpt}}.
The discussion about this can be found here.
Maintainers of specific portals are encouraged to sign up as project members here, noting the portals they maintain, so that those portals are skipped by the maintenance pass. Currently, we are interested in upgrading neglected and abandoned portals. There will be opportunity for maintained portals to opt-in later, or the portal maintainers can handle upgrading (the portals they maintain) personally at any time.
Background
On April 8th, 2018, an RfC ("Request for comment") proposal was made to eliminate all portals and the portal namespace. On April 17th, the Portals WikiProject was rebooted to handle the revitalization of the portal system. On May 12th, the RfC was closed with the result to keep portals, by a margin of about 2 to 1 in favor of keeping portals.
Since the reboot, the Portals WikiProject has been busy building tools and components to upgrade portals.
So far, 84 editors have joined.
If you would like to keep abreast of what is happening with portals, see the newsletter archive.

Request for information on WP1.0 web tool
Hello and greetings from the maintainers of the WP 1.0 Bot! As you may or may not know, we are currently involved in an overhaul of the bot, in order to make it more modern and maintainable. As part of this process, we will be rewriting the web tool that is part of the project. You might have noticed this tool if you click through the links on the project assessment summary tables.
We'd like to collect information on how the current tool is used by....you! How do you yourself and the other maintainers of your project use the web tool? Which of its features do you need? How frequently do you use these features? And what features is the tool missing that would be useful to you? We have collected all of these questions at this Google form where you can leave your response. Walkerma (talk) 04:24, 27 October 2019 (UTC)
Kernel Version History
at the time of this writing, on the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_kernel_version_history page, kernel entry for 4.4.220, the impression is given that Super Long Term Support was guaranteed until 2026 by the CIP project, while following the source link reveals that CIP isn't explicitly committing to anything yet, and the numbers 2026 and 2036, must have been derived by slapping, respectively, the CIP project's lowest and highest realistic estimate onto the release year 195.135.248.94 (talk) 18:38, 30 April 2020 (UTC)

Should we join WP:FOSS?
Should we join forces with our our sister project if they are willing to take us on? – Abuluntu ( talk 12:36, 27 October 2020 (UTC)
- This project is already listed in related projects. There's no problem with joining forces, but I don't know how would that work – I believe they already edit articles related to Linux. Also, either I don't really understand how wikiprojects are supposed to work or there's not much for anybody to do here. This should be much more social experience. — Preceding unsigned comment added by K4rolB (talk • contribs) 18:20, 27 October 2020 (UTC)
- The intention of projects are collaboration. If we set the status of this project as inactive there is less work to maintain the project pages, and anyone stopping by this place is encouraged to join the other project instead.– Abuluntu ( talk 19:23, 27 October 2020 (UTC)

or make WP:LINUX into a Task force
Newslinger over at WP:FOSS suggested an option: we could make this place a task force? – Abuluntu ( talk 11:58, 28 October 2020 (UTC)
- No need to ping me. I am watching this page.
- I do like what I am seeing at WP:FOSS. Part of me says to copy what they are doing there, and part of me says to simply join them. Let me ask everyone here: how important is it that we have a separate project and/or task force working on Linux specifically as opposed to working on Linux as part of what WP:FOSS is doing? I personally spend an hour running BSD for every two hours I run Linux. --Guy Macon (talk) 12:30, 28 October 2020 (UTC)
- I think that this wikiproject should join WP:FOSS. It will take time and effort to make this as well maintained and I think this effort could be put to make WP:FOSS a more lively space. I have a belief verging on certainty that 95% of Linux subjects are within FOSS scope, and the rest 5% is projects big enough to get interest from WP:SOFTWARE or WP:COMPUTING.
Interestingly, I've also found Wikipedia:WikiProject_Desktop_Linux which seems to be even more dead than this one, but maybe more diverging from FOSS, as it may naturally include gaming and other proprietary software. Point being, it will be more pragmatic, while FOSS is about software, but also movement, philosophy, civil liberties, and so on. K4rolB (talk) 13:07, 28 October 2020 (UTC)

- The Linux kernel is FOSS. Let's move it there. In all seriousness, this project should move to FOSS as a task force. That makes the most sense to me. Most of the Linux ecosystem is FOSS, it's kernel is FOSS, and it's used extensively in all environments (e.g., by companies as servers, as PCs, Raspberry PI, etc.). As a taskforce under FOSS, we could use the existing governance of the FOSS project, have it guide our direction (since we don't appear to have on right now), and can garner interest from their existing contributors to help us out. -proxxz talk 15:18, 29 October 2020 (UTC)
- My personal opinion is that having two projects/task forces creates more administration than necessary. – Abuluntu ( talk 12:36, 28 October 2020 (UTC)
- I'm thinking that if we merge with WP:FOSS (which is really a task force of WP:SOFTWARE), it should be as another task force. This would allow us to preserve the current organization and tagging of Linux articles (the talk page banner can just wrap
{{WP Software|linux=y}}
), and maintains a Linux-specific venue in which to have coherent discussions. We would then be sister task forces under WP:SOFTWARE at that point, which would enable closer collaboration between the two. Status quo is fine as well — Linux is a large enough topic to warrant a WikiProject, even if it is a bit quiet in here. — AfroThundr (u · t · c) 03:15, 29 October 2020 (UTC)
- To elaborate my views. It is a bit quiet in here. Of the 127 watchers of this site, about 7 has responded to my discussion of making it inactive. (Obviously it is a discussion of importance. I personally visited the user page of 117 of 202 participants on the list to inform them of the discussion.) I'm not a frequent user myself, but I think the project pages is overwhelming to any bypasser if its not more active and welcoming. People come to wikipedia to edit articles, not to take on immense administrative tasks. Does anyone have ideas how to make this project a tool of cooperation?
- A simple but maintained todolist is by far the most important task at this point.
- An updated participant list would encourage people to ask for help if they are bold. :-D

- I think we stretch ourselves too wide. We should acknowledge that there are only a few of us, at least for some time, and maintaining many overlapping projects is too much work – as You said, no one wants to take on administrative tasks.
I think we should scale down and create a minimum viable product — double down on creating some movement here. I still believe that WP:FOSS is a better place to start, as it's already well-defined and structured so it feels easier to start it up. — K4rolB (talk) 14:50, 29 October 2020 (UTC)

An attempt to sum it up
8 users have given their opinion.
- Fabio Maria De Francesco Actively opposes marking WikiProject Linux as inactive. And suggests status quo.
- Elizium23 Passively opposes marking WikiProject Linux as inactive. But doesn't seem to stop it either.
- K4rolB and Proxxz Promotes joining The Foss task force, implying to mark this project as inactive.
- Abuluntu, AfroThundr, Dillon and Guy Macon Promotes making this project a task force under WikiProject Software
Lack of consensus implies status quo, but nobody seems to oppose making WikiProject Linux into a taskforce. Please correct me if I'm wrong. If nobody objects within a week from now I'll go ahead and do it bit by bit. – Abuluntu ( talk 12:37, 30 October 2020 (UTC)
- I am fine with whatever the consensus is, but the above does not get my position right. No doubt I was unclear. I don't think another task force is needed and I don't think we have enough participants to make one work. I think we should join an existing task force (I am thinking FOSS, but am open to some other taskforce) rather than trying to form a new task force. I am OK with making the wikiproject historical or with leaving the Wikiproject as it is with a notice telling the user that they might want to help the existing taskforce -- seldom-used Wikiprojects don't harm anything, and someone may some day put in the effort to make it a lot more active. --Guy Macon (talk) 13:53, 30 October 2020 (UTC)
Thank you for making it clear. My mistake. I enjoyed this discussion, but I think I leave the work here for anyone willing to take it on. I guess the discussion itself is a note to anyone stopping by to wrap up their sleeves if they wish. – Abuluntu ( talk 14:13, 30 October 2020 (UTC)
Mark As Inactive?
Am I wrong to view this project as inactive? According to the guide projects are generally considered inactive if the talk page has received nothing other than routine/automated announcements or unanswered queries for a year or more.
– Abuluntu ( talk 19:26, 24 October 2020 (UTC)
- Abuluntu, I would find that a crying shame; there is plenty of Linux expertise to be had e.g. on the WP:RD, but if nobody wants to do the WikiProject I guess that's the way it will go. Elizium23 (talk) 20:26, 24 October 2020 (UTC)
- Elizium23, agree. Still the project is rather confusing to a newcomer (myself included). Maybe it could be saved by a cleanup of the project pages? – – Abuluntu ( talk 20:42, 24 October 2020 (UTC)
- I absolutely believe that the project must be kept active, therefore, please do not mark it as inactive. The reasons why are explained in my user talk page. - Fabio Maria De Francesco (talk) 05:48, 29 October 2020 (UTC)
I believe I was wrong to view this project as inactive. But it takes an effort to make it a hub for cooperation. The discussion seems to turn to whether it should be a project or a task force, or merged with WP:FOSS. WT:LINUX. – Abuluntu ( talk 11:17, 29 October 2020 (UTC)
Nope, marking it inactive will not be the right decision. Harsh Rathod Poke me! 04:24, 31 October 2020 (UTC)
- I concur, just because there is not a significant amount of activity in the talk pages themselves, does not make this project a useful place to organize around (which is how I tend to engage) Punk physicist (talk) 18:20, 2 November 2020 (UTC)

Sandbox Organiser A place to help you organise your work |
Hi all
I've been working on a tool for the past few months that you may find useful. Wikipedia:Sandbox organiser is a set of tools to help you better organise your draft articles and other pages in your userspace. It also includes areas to keep your to do lists, bookmarks, list of tools. You can customise your sandbox organiser to add new features and sections. Once created you can access it simply by clicking the sandbox link at the top of the page. You can create and then customise your own sandbox organiser just by clicking the button on the page. All ideas for improvements and other versions would be really appreciated.
Huge thanks to PrimeHunter and NavinoEvans for their work on the technical parts, without them it wouldn't have happened.
Hope its helpful

User script to detect unreliable sources
I have (with the help of others) made a small user script to detect and highlight various links to unreliable sources and predatory journals. Some of you may already be familiar with it, given it is currently the 39th most imported script on Wikipedia. The idea is that it takes something like
- John Smith "Article of things" Deprecated.com. Accessed 2020-02-14. (
John Smith "[https://www.deprecated.com/article Article of things]" ''Deprecated.com''. Accessed 2020-02-14.
)
and turns it into something like
- John Smith "Article of things" Deprecated.com. Accessed 2020-02-14.
It will work on a variety of links, including those from {{cite web}}, {{cite journal}} and {{doi}}.
The script is mostly based on WP:RSPSOURCES, WP:NPPSG and WP:CITEWATCH and a good dose of common sense. I'm always expanding coverage and tweaking the script's logic, so general feedback and suggestions to expand coverage to other unreliable sources are always welcomed.
Do note that this is not a script to be mindlessly used, and several caveats apply. Details and instructions are available at User:Headbomb/unreliable. Questions, comments and requests can be made at User talk:Headbomb/unreliable.

MOS:LINUX is part of Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Computing (failed proposal), which as the name implies, is a failed proposal. However, as Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Computing (failed proposal)#Linux vs GNU/Linux shows, there is strong support for the MOS:LINUX part of that proposed page. I think that MOS:LINUX could be made part of some other MoS page or guideline, but I wanted to get input to see what the best way to go about doing that might be? - Aoidh (talk) 18:45, 21 October 2022 (UTC)
Project-independent quality assessments
Quality assessments by Wikipedia editors rate articles in terms of completeness, organization, prose quality, sourcing, etc. Most wikiprojects follow the general guidelines at Wikipedia:Content assessment, but some have specialized assessment guidelines. A recent Village pump proposal was approved and has been implemented to add a |class=
parameter to {{WikiProject banner shell}}, which can display a general quality assessment for an article, and to let project banner templates "inherit" this assessment.
No action is required if your wikiproject follows the standard assessment approach. Over time, quality assessments will be migrated up to {{WikiProject banner shell}}, and your project banner will automatically "inherit" any changes to the general assessments for the purpose of assigning categories.
However, if your project has decided to "opt out" and follow a non-standard quality assessment approach, all you have to do is modify your wikiproject banner template to pass {{WPBannerMeta}} a new |QUALITY_CRITERIA=custom
parameter. If this is done, changes to the general quality assessment will be ignored, and your project-level assessment will be displayed and used to create categories, as at present. Aymatth2 (talk) 13:27, 12 April 2023 (UTC)
