			::* The semantics of table-as-a-stylistic-tool meant the columns ratio was automatically guessed by the browser, and disrupted the weight of the columns.

			::* The added contrast from the default wikitable styles was a lot, visually speaking.
			::In addition, removing the special pages box outright was problematic as (outside one link) they were links to special pages that are often useful, but not part of the sidebar menu. So this actually removed information not found otherwise.

			Hi, this comment was removed by one of your edits:

			<blockquote>
			NOTE: Please don't change the layout/categorizing without first coordinating with the other editors.
			</blockquote>
			— https://wiki.nixos.org/w/index.php?title=NixOS_Wiki&diff=prev&oldid=12364

			And, relatedly, maybe I missed it, but was there an attempt at coordinating with the other editors? I see you have severely changed the page, while causing new design issues (especially with regard to responsiveness), and changed the content in drastic ways.

			I'll be reverting many of the changes. [[User:Samueldr\|samueldr]] ([[User talk:Samueldr\|talk]]) 19:28, 9 May 2024 (UTC)

Samueldr: I presume this was the intent.

			== information about getting nix merch ==

			How to get merch (about (Nix or) NixOS) for free (or cheap) to support an event with Nix topics?

			The [https://nixos.org/community/teams/marketing.html Marketing Team] (or someone else) should provide a list where (and how) to get stuff. There are companies out there that give away free "promotional merchandise" to conferences (for example, even trade shows or events like that). A lot of them are having very Nix(OS) focused stuff. Some of those are having a (smaller or bigger) branding of the company. But there are a lot of articles that are absolutely branding free. NixOS logo stickers are an example for that. Which companies are interested to send merch to organizers and how to order them?
