=== Menu ===
I did a lift-and-shift of the main page onto the new style boxes we're using (e.g. the [[Project:Manual of Style|Manual of Style]]. Haven't touched the contents of the page at all, just the box design itself. You can see it [[User:DoggoBit/Sandbox/main_page|here]]. Feedback welcome.

The menu has now been rearranged, as discussed on [https://github.com/nixos-users/wiki/issues/3#event-1216650720 the github issue].
:Hey! I loved your design, I am not the mod here but let's hope it will get merged soon. [[User:Linux-DADDY|Linux-DADDY]] ([[User talk:Linux-DADDY|talk]]) 06:29, 30 July 2025 (UTC)
 
The next steps:
# write up the category pages under resources in a standardized way
# add a bunch of links to articles we wanna have but don't have (getting started guides for everything, for example)
# flesh out the [[Contributing to the Wiki]] page and [[Main Page]] to be more welcoming and clear
 
After this is done, it should be very easy for people to contribute.
 
=== Graphic design ===
 
==== Theme ====
 
I think it would be great to use some non-standard theme, to differentiate the wiki and make it our own.
 
I have been looking into bootstrap themes that are being maintained and found [https://github.com/cmln/chameleon Chameleon].
 
==== Favicon ====
 
The favicon seems to have a black background on my machine, which makes it look quite terrible. This can be solved by using the same one nixos.org uses. We might also considering making our favicon a bit different, it can be nice for those of us who like their bookmark bars filled with distinct icons and no text.

I believe this has been fixed with yesterday. We now link to a png version <syntaxhighlight lang="html"><link rel="shortcut icon" href="/favicon.png"/></syntaxhighlight> --[[User:Fadenb|Fadenb]] ([[User talk:Fadenb|talk]]) 12:04, 24 August 2017 (UTC)

This wiki is user-maintained. Take a look at the about page for more informations.

The NixOS Wiki is running alongside the [https://nixos.org/nixos/support.html NixOS project supported] manuals. [[{{ns:4}}:About|It is driven and maintained by its users.]] Of course the developers are also invited to contribute. The NixOS Wiki wants to be a way for creating, sharing and completing content "How to use NixOS!" next to the official resources.
