[opensuse-wiki] Why is this acceptable?
by PatrickD Garvey 25 Jan '17

25 Jan '17

I do not understand decisions such as documented in https://en.opensuse.org/Icecream, "The documentation used to live in this page, but moved into a markdown README hosted under https://github.com/icecc/icecream. To report an issue or fix a problem, use github. You can fork the repo to edit the README.md just fine." -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-wiki] "Anchors" in links?
by PatrickD Garvey 28 Dec '16

28 Dec '16

On https://en.opensuse.org/In_the_press_42.2, there are several links of the form: http://news.softpedia.com/news/first-opensuse-leap-42-2-release-candidate-a… instead of: http://news.softpedia.com/news/first-opensuse-leap-42-2-release-candidate-a… That is, they seem to contain an anchor, but no such anchor exists in the referenced page and using it or not using it produces the same display. Is this an artifact of the mechanism by which the links are gathered? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-wiki] Terminal page edits
by Scott Schoeller 26 Dec '16

26 Dec '16

I hope that you had a wonderful holiday weekend! I recently finished my initial edits to the Terminal page. The changes essentially involved style edits and addition of a few clarifying sections. I also made a comment about the bash built-in section. Please review that page when you have a chance; I have a feeling it is frequently visited. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-wiki] You do not have permission to edit this page
by PatrickD Garvey 24 Dec '16

24 Dec '16

I was merrily rolling along reading and editing wiki articles, when I get: --------- You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reason: Your IP address has been automatically blocked because it was used by another user, who was blocked by Abuse filter. The reason given is: Autoblocked because your IP address has been recently used by "Nishan9". The reason given for Nishan9's block is "Automatically blocked by abuse filter. Description of matched rule: phone number spam (in title)" Start of block: 17:01, 23 December 2016 Expiry of block: 17:01, 24 December 2016 Intended blockee: 137.65.226.4 You may contact Abuse filter or one of the other administrators to discuss the block. Note that you may not use the "email this user" feature unless you have a valid email address registered in your user preferences and you have not been blocked from using it. Your current IP address is 137.65.226.4, and the block ID is #636. Please include all above details in any queries you make. --------- I think I got caught in someone else's banishment. I am https://en.opensuse.org/User:PatrickDGarvey, not "Nishan9". My current IP address is 47.138.22.124, not 137.65.226.4. Is there someone who can help move me out of this predicament? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-wiki] Misplaced Article?
by PatrickD Garvey 23 Dec '16

23 Dec '16

https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Gnyers/InteropDemo/SambaAsMemeberServer This looks like several other sub-pages of User:Gnyers, but I don't have permission to move it there. The similar pages are: User:Gnyers/InteropDemo/SambaAsMemberServerInADDomain User:Gnyers/InteropDemo/ApacheAuthAndAuthzIntegrationWithADDomain User:Gnyers/InteropDemo/SambaAsNTStyleDomainController User:Gnyers/InteropDemo/WindowsRemoteDesktopOnLinux User:Gnyers/InteropDemo/AccessingMSSQLThroughODBC All of them, like this page, are marked "This article is not yet ready". -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-wiki] Hello; clarification desired
by Scott Schoeller 23 Dec '16

23 Dec '16

Dear openSUSE wiki team, I am very enthused about the openSUSE distro and wish to volunteer my time. I am looking forward to assisting with the development of the wiki and other documentation. I was considering writing a requested page on bash. However, there is a page already in existence titled "Terminal" that mentions this shell and its built-in commands. Should "Bash" be a redirect to that page? I'll wait for your response(s) before proceeding. Thank you. ~sschoellerstem -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-wiki] Update Portal:Installation
by Guo Yunhe 23 Dec '16

23 Dec '16

I have a few edit suggestions: 1. Give the link to download Tumbleweed 2. Add new section "Prepare installation media", including burn DVD and USB stick 3. Change "Live CD installation instructions" to "Try with Live CD". Live CD isn't a good way to install system and all Live CD articles are too old (11.4). 4. Remove "Create a live USB drive" section. There is no much difference of images when creating USB installation media. This part should have been introduced in "Prepare installation media" section. Giving too much options may confuse beginners. Any opinions? -- Guo Yunhe -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-wiki] Missing Redirect?
by PatrickD Garvey 12 Dec '16

12 Dec '16

There's https://en.opensuse.org/Archive:Features_42.1 but no https://en.opensuse.org/Features_42.1 which would be a redirect to that Archive. In fact, the move log for https://en.opensuse.org/Features_42.1 says it was moved to https://en.opensuse.org/Features which is no longer true, because https://en.opensuse.org/Features is a redirect to https://en.opensuse.org/Features_42.2. Should there be a redirect in https://en.opensuse.org/Features_42.1 to https://en.opensuse.org/Archive:Features_42.1? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-wiki] Double Redirects Policy
by PatrickD Garvey 12 Dec '16

12 Dec '16

https://en.opensuse.org/index.php?title=Feature_Guide&redirect=no is a redirect to https://en.opensuse.org/index.php?title=Product_highlights&redirect=no which is a redirect to https://en.opensuse.org/index.php?title=Features&redirect=no which is a redirect to https://en.opensuse.org/Features_42.2 So, naturally only https://en.opensuse.org/index.php?title=Features actually redirects all the way to https://en.opensuse.org/Features_42.2 What is the openSUSE.org policy for such redirected redirects? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+owner(a)opensuse.org

Hello, (for some reason, your mail didn't appear on opensuse-wiki yet, so I'm using reply to all this time) Am Montag, 28.

(Please answer off-list, maybe some people don't like public blaming ;-) I see at least two persons who are working for SUSE and could give you the needed wiki permissions, so we'll find a way ;-) BTW, your username is Guoyunhebrave, right?
