[edit] About spam
There is a lot of spam on this wiki. Can't the admins do anything against it (at this wiki level or even at wikicities level) ? Furthermore, do the admins come here often to see what happens to the wiki ?
- There's now a Spam cleanup script that should take care of it. If not, please let me know using Special:Contact. Angela (talk) 07:00, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] New Multilingual Portal
The Linux Wiki is now available in Portuguese.
Therefore, the URLs for the English version have changed to en.linux.wikicities.com (as with en.wikipedia.org, en is the language code for English). The old URLs will automatically redirect to the English version to prevent breaking links. For example, http://linux.wikicities.com/wiki/Main_Page redirects to http://en.linux.wikicities.com/wiki/Main_Page. The only URL which is different is linux.wikicities.com since this is now a mulitlingual portal pointing to the two different language editions. Angela (talk) 08:27, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Clasify
Can anybody clasify the Linux distros ? (i.e. Puppy is a RedHat distro).
- I will work on that
[edit] Protection of Main Page
Hi, I just came here and saw that your Main Page is unprotected. I recommend that you protect it. Thanks, RyGuy 11:56, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
- That's not encouraged. Wikia is openly editable and locking the main page gives the opposite impression. Vandalism is easy to deal with and Wikia has very few problems with spam. There's really no need to start locking the wiki down at this stage. The main page needs improvement and that can't happen if it's protected. Angela talk 18:28, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
- We could just use registered protection, usually only spammers edit anonymous --Doomguy0505 05:06, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
- That's not completely true, there are some good IP editors. Semi-protection is semi-good, the page can still be improved and it encourages registration, the only catches are that IP editors cannot be bold in updating the semi-protected pages and it takes 4 days for a user to get the autoconfirmed status to edit semi-protected pages. Semi-protection should only be used for very high profile pages. Tcrow777 Talk | Teklogs 09:08, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
- "Semi-protection should only be used for very high profile pages" - Like the main page, not that I think it needs to be protected... yet --Chris 09:31, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Note
Perhaps we should start a focus article of the week.
[edit] Tux
What happened to the Image of Tux, why is it now wikia?
I see that tux is back! Yay!
[edit] Hmm... long page
The main page seems a little long, I think it needs shortening by taking out all the links and at the bottom of the page have a box with something like:
| img Applications |
img Distros |
img Forums |
img Wikis |
img Other |
