== Main page redesign ==

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.

== ~~Menu~~ ==

== Heads-up: Translation tag changes & please back up your work ==

~~The menu has now been rearranged, as discussed on [https://github~~.~~com/nixos-users/~~wiki~~/issues/3#event-1216650720 the github issue]~~. ~~The next steps:~~

I've submitted a content change to fix localization page's display errors by repositioning the translation tags. This will prevent the existing display error because translator is unfamiliar to wiki syntax.

~~# write up the category pages under resources in a standardized way~~

Please '''backup''' any exsiting translations to prevent reworking, as some old tags will be removed and the new will be added.

~~# 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~~.

Meanwhile, it would be great if an official maintainer could post a finalized official notice.

~~=== Theme ===~~

:The translation tag adjustments for this page are complete. Structural adaptation for the new content across all languages has also been finalized. [[User:Ardenet|Ardenet]] ([[User talk:Ardenet|talk]]) 18:39, 31 October 2025 (UTC)

~~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.~~
