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. -- Sshine (talk) 20:51, 6 March 2025 (UTC)Reply

Add guidelines for common Infoboxes

There are a couple of common infoboxes used on wiki pages.

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