| − | ===Baseband: Processor vs. Platform=== |
||
| − | All right, so The iPhone Wiki has articles about baseband ''processors''. However, the [[XMM 6180]] is about the baseband ''platform''. The wiki mostly references baseband processors, but I'm a bit reluctant to go that route since it was [[User:Oranav|Oranav]], who definitely knows more about the baseband than me, that changed the article from baseband processor to baseband platform. I'd like to keep things consistent, so should we stick with referencing it by processor or platform? This inconsistency is bugging the crap out of me. --[[User:Dialexio|<span style="color:#C20; font-weight:normal;">Dialexio</span>]] 06:19, 9 August 2010 (UTC) |

| − | === Cleanup orphaned pages === |
||
| − | The [[Special:Lonelypages|orphaned pages]] should be cleaned up. Possible work: |
||
| − | *most of those pages need to get updated |
||
| − | *add a link on another page to it, so that it's not orphaned anymore |
||
| − | *The main page and some disambiguation pages may remain orphaned. |
||
| − | *Some pages are really old, outdated and not worth to get updated. In this case add a deletion request to its talk page. |
||
| − | *Maybe we need a new overview page that links to some of these pages (e.g. my request for a [[Beta Firmware]] page, see [[Talk:VFDecrypt_Keys:_3.x_BETA#STOP]]) |
||
| − | *Please note that links with a prefix don't count for this list, so that pages that only appear on a Category page also appear in this list. To get the full links list, go to the page and click "what links here". |
||
| − | I started with a little cleanup already. --[[User:Http|http]] 10:02, 23 October 2010 (UTC) |

| − | ===VFDecrypt GUIs=== |
||
| − | I don't mean to sound like a dictator, but I'd like to request for no more VFDecrypt GUIs to be added here. There are more than enough of them, so I feel there really isn't a need to add any more. Whenever a new one arises, an argument spews over about its usefulness, as well as whether it belongs on this wiki. These arguments clog up the [[Special:Recentchanges|Recent changes]] page, making it tougher to keep an eye on things with the wiki. So, once again, I'd like to ask for no more VFDecrypt GUIs to have a place on this wiki. '''As of now, this is NOT a rule that will be imposed. It's just a polite request, nothing more.''' --[[User:Dialexio|<span style="color:#C20; font-weight:normal;">Dialexio</span>]] 19:35, 30 October 2010 (UTC) |

| − | :I'd ask for GUI's of all kinds, such as VFDecrypt, iRecovery, and so on. Anyone can make a GUI. It takes a real hacker to write a program. --[[User:Dra1nerdrake|dra1nerdrake]] 22:52, 30 October 2010 (UTC) |

| − | ::We only have 3 publiclly available ones + 2 in development --[[User:Balloonhead66|Balloonhead66]] 00:14, 31 October 2010 (UTC) |
||
| − | :I saw this coming when the new page for [[GiRecovery]] ([[Zeratul]]) first appeared some months ago. This Wiki is not intended to promote these tools. I didn't want to just delete the page though. One way we could go: Make sure '''all''' applications (including highly recognized ones and jailbreak apps like [[Limera1n]]) will get listed on an overview [[Tools]] page. It should be categorized by tool purpose and operating system. Maybe also by related iOS firmware. As soon as this works well, we just have to assure that not anybody adds new tools there. For example by having two users request a new entry (without the author). We can start this Tools page in any case. Initially we can include all these useless GUI apps already existing here also. -- [[User:Http|http]] 07:38, 31 October 2010 (UTC) |
||
| − | :We could delete the original pages and merge them with the page of the original app in a subsection. To be honest, though, I still don't see the point of having 4 softwares that do the same thing with the same features. --[[User:Ryccardo|Ryccardo]] 09:22, 31 October 2010 (UTC) |
||
| − | :All of them just decrypt. But mine will have 7zip integration to extract it for you and possibly look up the key automatically based on the Dmg name... --[[User:Balloonhead66|Balloonhead66]] 14:28, 31 October 2010 (UTC) |

| − | ===Useless Team Pages=== |
||
| − | I think we should remove all the team pages of users. Keep the Chronic and iPhone dev teams, but the rest that are just milking the wiki as a way to seek fame. There is no purpose for it and it just causes a large amount of useless edits and arguments. Instead of having a team page how about just add the software you make and use the credits part of it? Is there really a need for team pages? I am open to all discussions, just don't argue here. --[[User:JacobVengeance|JakeAnthraX]] 14:49, 7 November 2010 (UTC) |
||
| − | :As long as the team in question is actually doing *something* I see no reason not to document them. [[User:MaybachMan|MaybachMan]] 15:11, 7 November 2010 (UTC) |
||
| − | ::Well my counter to that is still there is no need for it. Maybe when you guys do something that is amazing or make something that isn't already out there. I don't want to fight, don't think I do. I just want the wiki to be peaceful and a place of knowledge. Not people gloating to be parts of groups and leech off of other people. Is the page really that important to you? --[[User:JacobVengeance|JakeAnthraX]] 15:14, 7 November 2010 (UTC) |
||
| − | :::My team made a jailbreak using usb control msg for iPodTouch2g MC. It was compatible with 4.0.2 and it was semitethered. Anyway I don't want it on theiphonewiki, because this wiki should NOT be TheTeamsWiki.--[[User:Qwertyoruiop|Qwertyoruiop]] 15:22, 7 November 2010 (UTC) |
||
| − | ::::The page isn't for showing off, we made it so we can have a place to list all the projects the team makes, which I find useful. I don't want to fight over it, but I just think it has a use for organising knowledge on here, that's all. [[User:MaybachMan|MaybachMan]] 15:19, 7 November 2010 (UTC) |
||
| − | Well I'm done arguing. I still say both be removed until a group release is made. Either way it doesn't matter much to me, but I had to make things fair between the groups. Let other people voice their opinions for a day or so and don't remove deletion request until it is decided as a community, okay? --[[User:JacobVengeance|JakeAnthraX]] 15:21, 7 November 2010 (UTC) |
||
| − | :Until then, the deletion should be undone. I notice my team's page is already deleted for some reason. Or the content is, anyway. [[User:MaybachMan|MaybachMan]] 15:23, 7 November 2010 (UTC) |
||
| − | Wait, i have an idea. A wiki for projects by secondary teams. If anyone wants, I can host it. :) --[[User:Qwertyoruiop|Qwertyoruiop]] 15:24, 7 November 2010 (UTC) |
||
| − | |||
| − | I have a question. Why is it that it is like you must be on a team to be on here, cuz you don't! --[[User:Balloonhead66|Balloonhead66]] 15:25, 7 November 2010 (UTC) |
||
| − | :Well without the deletion tags people won't know to discuss it, but it is up to the sysops in the end. So Yeah. --[[User:JacobVengeance|JakeAnthraX]] 15:29, 7 November 2010 (UTC) |

This is the place to post tasks that need to be done on the wiki. Also this is the place for proposed changes. I heard about people wanting a favicon and arranging the main page into categories.

Polls
I think we should have a page for polls, like this: Polls. I am requesting this as I need to take a quick survey, and I don't know where to place it. The poll does relate to the iPhone... --Balloonhead66 00:41, 16 November 2010 (UTC)
iPhone Compatibility
Well the wikis startpage (and maybe other pages) do not display really good on the iphone ;) -- M2m 16:11, 14 September 2010 (UTC)
- Well, I think it's good enough. Ok, it's not optimized, but it's ok. If we improve the startpage to have only one column, then that would look ugly on a PC. I work a lot in here from my iPhone. The biggest problem is the edit box. You cannot really edit big texts from your iPhone. But that's a problem of the Wiki itself (Mediawiki) and we cannot fix that just by changing texts or layout. -- http 22:25, 14 September 2010 (UTC)
- On all textboxes, use 2 fingers to scroll --Balloonhead66 02:52, 27 October 2010 (UTC)
- Installing the extension MobileSkin would be something geohot would have to do. Also he would have to create a mobile skin as all that extension does is display a skin over the default MonoBook skin... --Balloonhead66 00:43, 16 November 2010 (UTC)
Logo
| New logo design | ||
|---|---|---|
| New logo design
with a new name |
The Logo should be updated as the wiki is no longer iPhone only but (I think) all iOS devices (or a larger part of it). Possibly also a new URL? theioswiki (but i know this is not as easy) -- M2m 16:09, 14 September 2010 (UTC)
- A new URL would be something that Geohot would have to do. But although this is not only about iPhones, that doesn't mean we have to change the logo or the URL. At the beginning there was the iPhone and the iPod touch. Now only the iPad has come to the family. Nothing really new. -- http 22:25, 14 September 2010 (UTC)
- Isn't the new AppleTV said to be running iOS as well ? ;) --M2m 23:22, 14 September 2010 (UTC)
- Yes --Balloonhead66 00:07, 31 October 2010 (UTC)
- Isn't the new AppleTV said to be running iOS as well ? ;) --M2m 23:22, 14 September 2010 (UTC)
- I could design a new logo that has all the iOS family on it including all generations of the phone and the ipod touch, ATV, and iPad if it is still wanted... --Locke
- That won't be neccassary as I am already in the midst of creating one... --Balloonhead66 19:16, 5 November 2010 (UTC)
- Done... Please post content above the
{{clear}}IT is therte to keep the next section below the table... When the text gets below the table, you may remove the clear template link. --Balloonhead66 23:46, 5 November 2010 (UTC) - If anyone wants, I can shrink the Red apple down from 32x32 to 16x16 so it looks better... I just downloaded The iPhone Wiki favicon aqnd used Convert ICO to make it a png and it came out at 32x32, so I used that. If anyone wants, I can shrink the apple to 16x16... --Balloonhead66 02:40, 14 November 2010 (UTC)
