The iPhone Wiki:Community portal

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.

Favicon

Better? - Very nice :-) Damn, firefox bug.

Merge pages

/private/var is the correct name and has a better description, but /var has a full folder listing. --Ryccardo 12:33, 7 June 2010 (UTC)

Dealt with. :) --Dialexio 02:58, 26 July 2010 (UTC)

I think Sierra_7C108b and SwitchBoard.app should be merged. Or are there any differences that I misunderstood? --http 22:13, 28 July 2010 (UTC)

I wouldn't merge the two since SwitchBoard.app is in Sierra 7C108b, but it's not exclusive to that build. --Dialexio 00:09, 29 July 2010 (UTC)

I understand. Ok, no merge. But currently both are about the app. We should put that content into SwitchBoard.app and focus Sierra 7C108b more on the firmware then (would be very short right now). Also we should delete one of the two images. What do you think? --http 03:10, 29 July 2010 (UTC)

Agreed. Both of the screenshots show different "apps" though, so it might be best to keep both images. --Dialexio 03:41, 29 July 2010 (UTC)

Hackers and Teams

We have only one page for IH8sn0w, but with this name we have both things: the person and the team. I'm not sure how to do this. He is listed as a member of his group. Also all referals should distinguish then, that's quite difficult. He himself also had no idea. Maybe a new page with IH8sn0w team where the current content should go to? -- http 19:20, 6 August 2010 (UTC)

A similar problem exists for chronic. It is split already: User:ChronicDev (user) and Chronic Dev (team). I think we should rename the team to Chronic Dev Team, although this is not their official name, but it helps to distinguish. What do you think? -- http 19:27, 6 August 2010 (UTC)

We could use parentheses, such as iH8sn0w (team) and Chronic Dev (team). Alternatively, we could use prefixes, like Team:iH8sn0w and Team:Chronic Dev. --Dialexio 19:56, 6 August 2010 (UTC)

Parentheses sounds good. Prefix is more wiki-internal stuff for me. -- http 06:03, 7 August 2010 (UTC)

Thanks Dialexio for going ahead with this. We now have a few disambiguation pages, but they are not marked as such (see Special:Disambiguations). I don't know how to mark them with this template. Do you? -- http 06:43, 8 August 2010 (UTC)

I tried to see if I could get it to work (using the Chronic Dev page for testing), but I can't figure out why it won't appear on the Special:Disambiguations. --Dialexio 15:43, 8 August 2010 (UTC)

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 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. --Dialexio 06:19, 9 August 2010 (UTC)

Will this site keep running?

I'm enjoying learning about the highly technical side to the iPhone, but after what's happened with geohot, will this site continue? -- MaybachMan 16:46, 14 July 2010 (UTC)

Yes it will continue. I had the same question and geohot already answered that on his talk page. --http 18:46, 14 July 2010 (UTC)

That's great to hear, thank you. MaybachMan
