Should this project not be a subproject of wikiproject software? IRWolfie- (talk) 12:06, 31 January 2012 (UTC)
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:

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)
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.

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.

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)

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)
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!

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:
84.127.80.114 (talk) 13:11, 5 October 2014 (UTC)
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)
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.

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.

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 (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)

You're receiving this message because your WikiProject or task force is signed up to receive the popular pages report.

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:

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.

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.

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.

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.
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.
There's an article in the current edition of the Signpost interviewing project members about the RfC and the Portals WikiProject.
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.

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

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 "[https://www.deprecated.com/article Article of things]" ''Deprecated.com''. Accessed 2020-02-14.
and turns it into something like
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)
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.
|class=
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.

Hi, I've created an article about the Linux distribution Draft:Linux Caixa Mágica some months ago, made improvements after the first review but haven't got a second review after several weeks. Could someone take a look and move on with the review please? Thanks!
