			Thanks I joined the room. Talk pages are definitely bad, something like https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:DiscussionTools makes it slightly better.

			Not exactly. The only communication that exists for the Wiki is currently the [https://matrix.to/#/#wiki:nixos.org Matrix room], but otherwise larger longer effort discussions might be on the discourse. I personally think talk pages kinda suck.

			Okay. Is there a central place where such discussion and coordination is happening? For instance, I was thinking of a standard way for each article about a package to mention how to install that package, either using systemPackages or config.<>.enable = true, similar to how the Archwiki does it.

			Alright makes sense. How about I just rename this to nixos-config then, because this is a common enough that I expect will be used on most articles?

			The reason it doesn't work (AFAIUI) is that <tt>File:</tt> is a valid namespace, meanwhile <tt>NixOS:</tt> isn't.

			To be fair, I don't think this is needed. Adding too much ''specific'' templating magic isn't great. I think that using the <code><nowiki>{{file}}</nowiki></code> template and letting users conscientiously type the filename is better than hoping they pick the right pre-baked template here.

	Thanks for taking a look. I'm not sure why this doesn't work when say [[Template:Nixos:option]] works. Renaming it is a good suggestion, but I was thinking of creating other wrappers over the file template such as file:flake for /etc/nixos/flake.nix and local config at ~/.config/nix/config.nix etc.		Thanks for taking a look.
