Please make a change to the main wiki page

tigrmesh · 2010-02-04 21:32:19

The paragraph for the official install guide on the main wiki page says:

Official Arch Linux Install Guide
A more general installation guide; assuming the user is more experienced in UNIX/GNU/Linux methodology. The official location for this guide is here.

Where here should link to the git location at http://projects.archlinux.org/?p=aif.git. It currently links to the old (empty) location at http://www.archlinux.org/static/docs/ar … guide.html.

I wasn't sure where to put this request so it would be seen. My apologies if this is the wrong place.

Thank you.

[edit]Ghost1227 is right. The link should point to here: http://projects.archlinux.org/aif.git/t … n_guide_en

Why not change it yourself? It is a wiki after all ...

edit: just realised you can't change the main page - how come?

Because tigr doesn't have access to change that page. Certain pages (such as the main page) are locked to prevent editing. and I'd say the proper link should actually be http://projects.archlinux.org/aif.git/t … n_guide_en.

Either way, here's a list of the wiki admins.

Unfortunately, that seems to be out of date.

But you didn't fix the original request!!! (And btw, your name has "User:" before it, none of the others do. Intentional?)

Yes, I did, 1 minute before you posted this.

this is wrong.
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Off … tall_Guide gets generated from
http://projects.archlinux.org/aif.git/t … n_guide_en

The `The official location for this guide is here. ` linke can be entirely scratched as the title of that block is the correct link

I think the whole point of tigrmesh's request was so that the link in that sentence point to the git source in the first place.

Allan · 2010-02-06 16:08:21

Not quite, just to point it at a working source.

Lol. Yes, but now the link's been removed.

Dieter@be · 2010-02-08 20:30:48

Hmm that's not how I interpreted his post, but you could be right.
Anyway I find the wiki frontpage a bizarre place to link to the source code of the article.
Note that the article itself contains a meta section that links to the source code.

tigrmesh · 2010-02-09 19:28:48

Thanks guys for taking care of this.

@Dieter@be - you are right. However, removing it completely was a much better idea.
