Template loop detected: Wikipedia:WikiProject Linux/Todo

WikiProject Linux is an attempt at creating a community of Linux wikipedians to maintain and write for Linux articles on Wikipedia. The aim of this project is to make sure that all Linux articles are kept up to date, cited, clean, factually accurate and NPOV. For our purposes, "Linux" includes Linux distros, GNU coreutils, and of course the Linux Kernel. Applications that run on linux may also fall within the scope.

Related projects are WikiProject Free Software and WikiProject Computing.

Some Wikipedians have formed a project to better organize information in articles related to Linux. This page and its subpages contain their suggestions; it is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians. If you would like to help, please inquire on the talk page and see the to-do list there.

For more information on WikiProjects, please see Wikipedia:WikiProject and Wikipedia:WikiProject/Best practices.

Goals

  • To improve the quality and expand the range of Linux-related articles on Wikipedia.
  • To improve articles such that they would serve as useful to beginners and experts alike, by providing both simple and more technical descriptions.
  • To spread awareness of Linux, in a respectful and realistic manner, to other Wikipedians.

State of affairs

Mini collaboration

For now, we need to collaborate on getting the WikiProject organized and get a healthy set of articles/lists marked up with the Wikiproject template. In the future I plan to use this space to advertise a specific article that we want to get to see (?) good article status.

To vote for or nominate the next Mini Collaboration, go to this page: Wikipedia:WikiProject Linux/Mini Collaboration Nominations.

Templates

Stub template

For Linux stub articles use the standard {{linux-stub}} or one of its sub-stub categories.

Article Talk page template

On the talk pages of the articles that we are focusing on, please put in this template: {{WikiProject Linux}}. It should appear like this:

WikiProject iconLinux NA‑class
WikiProject iconThis article is within the scope of WikiProject Linux, a collaborative effort to improve the coverage of Linux on Wikipedia. If you would like to participate, please visit the project page, where you can join the discussion and see a list of open tasks.LinuxWikipedia:WikiProject LinuxTemplate:WikiProject LinuxLinux articles
NAThis article has been rated as NA-class on Wikipedia's content assessment scale.

Please don't add this to articles we have not yet had an effect on. It frustrates some of the editors that have worked hard on the article in the first place.

  80. spazure (contribs) (review) 09:28, 5 September 2007 (UTC) I only know SuSE not because I'm a flavor snob, but because the fs layout of other flavors confuses me, so I stick with what I learned on. Luckily, a lot of people don't understand SuSE, so sometimes I'm a useful geek to contact. spazure (contribs) (review) 09:28, 5 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  81. Toussaint 20:21, 18 September 2007 (UTC) I contribute to alot of the Linux articles both here and at TheLinuxVault. For the record, I've tried ubuntu (blergh!), Dreamlinux (nice), GoboLinux (nice), Symphony OS (nice), Gentoo Linux (couldn't get to install), VidaLinux (nothing spectacular), PCLinuxOS (ndiswrapper issue for the laptop), OpenSUSE (no opinion), and even Darwin.[reply]

Goals

  • To improve the quality and expand the range of Linux-related articles on Wikipedia.
  • To improve articles such that they would serve as useful to beginners and experts alike, by providing both simple and more technical descriptions.
  • To spread awareness of Linux, in a respectful and realistic manner, to other Wikipedians.

Mini collaboration

For now, we need to collaborate on getting the WikiProject organized and get a healthy set of articles/lists marked up with the Wikiproject template. In the future I plan to use this space to advertise a specific article that we want to get to see (?) good article status.

To vote for or nominate the next Mini Collaboration, go to this page: Wikipedia:WikiProject Linux/Mini Collaboration Nominations.

Templates

Stub template

For Linux stub articles use the standard {{linux-stub}} or one of its sub-stub categories.

Article Talk page template

On the talk pages of the articles that we are focusing on, please put in this template: {{WikiProject Linux}}. It should appear like this:

WikiProject iconLinux NA‑class
WikiProject iconThis article is within the scope of WikiProject Linux, a collaborative effort to improve the coverage of Linux on Wikipedia.

NAThis article has been rated as NA-class on Wikipedia's content assessment scale.

Please don't add this to articles we have not yet had an effect on. It frustrates some of the editors that have worked hard on the article in the first place.
