== Suggestion: Remove nonsensical warning about copyright violations from style manual ==

How is the following section a reflection on style?

:'''''Contribution recommendation:''' It is recommended that editors only contribute to one wiki at a time to ensure they do not inadvertently violate the copyright policies of the wikis they edit.''

And what copyright policies might be violated? The official NixOS wiki is already a copy of the unofficial NixOS wiki which is licensed under MIT, and the official NixOS wiki is also licensed under MIT. So I can't see what copyright policies are being violated that weren't violated in the creation of the wiki. -- [[User:Sshine|Sshine]] ([[User talk:Sshine|talk]]) 20:51, 6 March 2025 (UTC)

:Interesting, maybe we can decide to delete this sentence in the next wiki-meeting or exchange it with something like "It is recommended that editors only contribute to one wiki at a time to avoid accidentally violating style guides and structuring."

== Add guidelines for common Infoboxes ==

We could also bootstrap a new infobox for nixos-version-specific infos (that could be discarded once the nixos version becomes very old). [[User:Pogobanane|Pogobanane]] ([[User talk:Pogobanane|talk]]) 08:10, 26 October 2024 (UTC)
