@rapenne-s:tchncs.deSolène Rapenne (she/her) I started to look at the Wiki to prune outdated information (using the Special:random page giving a random page), and I stumbled upon https://nixos.wiki/wiki/Packaging/Perl , I wonder if we should delete this page, I'm fine removing it because it doesn't seem to provide any good value And I'm curious to know why the nixpkgs manual url is https://ryantm.github.io/nixpkgs/languages-frameworks/perl/#ssec-perl-packaging :D 18:41:55

I started to look at the Wiki to prune outdated information (using the Special:random page giving a random page), and I stumbled upon https://nixos.wiki/wiki/Packaging/Perl , I wonder if we should delete this page, I'm fine removing it because it doesn't seem to provide any good value And I'm curious to know why the nixpkgs manual url is https://ryantm.github.io/nixpkgs/languages-frameworks/perl/#ssec-perl-packaging :D

In the same kind, https://nixos.wiki/wiki/Nix_command/ping-store is pretty useless. If it's fine deleting these pages, I'll continue pruning similar pages.

@ryantm:matrix.orgryantmThat's my experimental manual built with mmdoc. It has better search engine optimization merely by being split up.18:49:19
@rapenne-s:tchncs.deSolène Rapenne (she/her) ryantm ok, good to know :) 19:18:32
@fricklerhandwerk:matrix.orgfricklerhandwerk Solène Rapenne (she/her): All the Nix command pages are redundant and can be deleted. I encourage pruning redundant and outdated information. IMO the Wiki should shrink as far as possible and otherwise serve as a dumping ground for ideas. Everything else should go to curated sources. 20:59:08

When I want to delete a page, by modifying and replace =edit by =delete in the URL, I get a permission error

Permission error You do not have permission to delete this page, for the following reason: The action you have requested is limited to users in one of the groups: Administrators, Trustees.

who can give me permission?
wiki administration is sort of in... flux right now, iirc
21:27:08
@winterqt:nixos.devWinter (she/her) i think Mic92 might be able to do that though 21:27:33
@joerg:thalheim.ioMic92I can delete pages. I don't think I can user privileges21:41:47
@joerg:thalheim.ioMic92*can give21:41:57
@rapenne-s:tchncs.deSolène Rapenne (she/her) Mic92 can I just give you pages I want to delete in batch? :) 21:43:01
@rapenne-s:tchncs.deSolène Rapenne (she/her)until we can have better...21:43:08
@joerg:thalheim.ioMic92Yeah. I just not in front of a computer. 21:43:38
@rapenne-s:tchncs.deSolène Rapenne (she/her) maybe someone from here would like to expand https://nixos.wiki/wiki/Documentation_Group :) 22:13:58
@rapenne-s:tchncs.deSolène Rapenne (she/her) I suggest the removal of all these pages https://pbot.rmdir.de/3XntA8vSezbYrbpR6J0-qg 22:28:44

I think we can just delete this. The history is all there in Discourse.

@efx:matrix.orgefx👋I wanted to contribute a guide demonstrating a practical use of a nix flake: how to use httpd in a package and customize the configuration. Flakes felt like a good fit for this use-case of maintaining infrastructure using simple packaging. Do y'all know of a good home among nix community documentation for something like this? 12:47:19

@denna:matrix.orgolaf efx to me it sounds suitable for nix.dev. the only counter argument could be that flakes are not stable yet. if you prefer fast publishing than the wiki is always an option. 03:47:02
@efx:matrix.orgefx olaf: thanks for the answer! I'll try to whip up my thoughts into a draft MR sometime this week. 16:23:40
