User talk:Kostas: Difference between revisions

Line 3:

Hi, recently I wrote the article for the [[The ultimate guide to an open source life]] video, as it did not have an article on this wiki yet. As you can now find the categories on the main page of the wiki, which includes [[:Category:User guides|user guides]], it initially made sense to also categorize this article as such. The intention was also to make it easy for visitors of this wiki to find related resources, and for them to learn about what they can do. The section on guides for the [[Consumer_Action_Taskforce:Article_types|article types]] is strict for posting full guides, which is why the article does not repeat the guide, but refers to it. The same is true for another article, [[Running AI models locally guide]]. Later I saw that there was confusion on whether or not to place a guide notice on this article, understandably, so what follows is how that should now be resolved for both articles:

I agree with you that they should not be marked as user guides, as they do not contain the full guide but refer to external resources. So to avoid further confusion, I changed their category to ~~[[:Category:External guides|~~external guides]] to indicate that they are articles that just summarize resources external to this wiki. And of course the articles should only be made if, like the user guides, they allow users to regain ownership of their product. This category is a subcategory of [[:Category:User guides|user guides]], as they align with the same goal, makes them distinct, but still readily accessible via the main page of the wiki. I hope this clarification helps, and if you have any thoughts on this, feel free to reply --[[User:InTransparencyWeTrust|InTransparencyWeTrust]] 19:12, 05 February 2025 (UTC)

:Hey @[[User:InTransparencyWeTrust|InTransparencyWeTrust]], thanks for reaching out about this. I still have my reservations about having these as a sub-category to user guides. As far as content they fit more in the theme category but I can definetely see the reasoning behind the catgorization in that category (discoverability etc). I wanted to ask the opinion of @[[User:Keith|Keith]] and @[[User:Waldo|Waldo]] on this before contacting you about the category this sould fall under but having this conversation here might be better.
