Posting KBAGs

Is there really a need to post KBAGs, if we already have decryption keys? Hell better yet instead of posting KBAG's post missing keys. --GreySyntax 16:57, 12 November 2010 (UTC)

i agree, KBAG's are practically useless after you have got the keys from them but liamchat seems to post them anyway... --cj 17:01, 12 November 2010 (UTC)

i added them because i didn't have that device and on some pages the KBAG's are there with the keys so why not do that on all pages --liamchat 20:38, 12 November 2010 (UTC)

Posting the KBAG and not saying what there from is useless. --GreySyntax 20:40, 12 November 2010 (UTC)

the layout was confusing i grab them in one big lump and it follows a generic system ( see KBAG layout ) --liamchat 20:45, 12 November 2010 (UTC)

The least you could do is place them appropriately, and not force someone like me to clean up after you. --Dialexio 21:10, 12 November 2010 (UTC)

Protection

Can someone inform me why the main page was protected from all users? Not just newly created users? Cheers. --Beau 03:19, 8 November 2010 (UTC)

An edit war took place earlier, and unfortunately there's no option to protect it from just newly created users. If you want to make a change, Http and I will be more than happy to carry it out (pending approval, but we're pretty reasonable). --Dialexio 03:46, 8 November 2010 (UTC)

There kindof is, you just need to update to 1.16, but i guess only geohot can do that... :( --Balloonhead66 03:49, 8 November 2010 (UTC)

What was the war about? --Balloonhead66 00:22, 17 November 2010 (UTC)

Thanks Dialexio, just thought that it was strange that Wiki pages are starting to be put together for /Applications yet there's no link present on the main page - if anything it might fit best atop the Software list. --Beau 03:58, 8 November 2010 (UTC)

It's actually already there, under the name "Filesystem" (which links to the root directory of iOS). :) --Dialexio 04:33, 8 November 2010 (UTC)

Protection on Main Page/Welcome

I think you should protect Main Page/Welcome as it is editable by anyone... That is how I added the info on an IRC chatroom... --Balloonhead66 18:51, 24 November 2010 (UTC)

does this work on any other part's of this page and do we need an irc channel for a wiki --liamchat 23:18, 24 November 2010 (UTC)

No reason not to have an IRC, just leave it be and people can go there to discuss things like formatting and what not. --JakeAnthraX 23:41, 24 November 2010 (UTC)

It would be better to have it on a more iOS centered network such as Chronic's irc or OSx86. --GreySyntax 23:52, 24 November 2010 (UTC)

i have just made a better one on irc.expl0it.com in the room theiphonewiki however we need a system if people decide to use this --liamchat 00:37, 25 November 2010 (UTC)

The Main Page is protected for three years only because n00bs kept adding themselves as iPhone hackers. Otherwise, it'd be open for editing by users like you. I see no need to protect Main Page/Welcome as long as there's no edit war, vandalism, or spam. :) --Dialexio 23:27, 24 November 2010 (UTC)

Surely there is no way it'll stay protected for 3 years, right? Just until we can get the n00bs to stop being so ridiculous, I suppose. It doesn't really matter, as I don't actually edit the main page, but I think it's rather funny. :P --dra1nerdrake 00:00, 25 November 2010 (UTC)

Too bad people ignored my warning from September. :s Maybe I'll feel nice during the holidays? --Dialexio 00:19, 25 November 2010 (UTC)

If I could 'Like', 'Favorite', or 'Retweet' that post, I'd do it in a heartbeat. --dra1nerdrake 16:56, 26 November 2010 (UTC)

Beta Firmware

I'd like to add Beta Firmware to the list and thought of putting it on the same line as Firmware, like this:

• Firmware and Beta Firmware

Anybody against that? Because this page is protected I think it's polite to ask first. -- http 18:44, 27 November 2010 (UTC)

Sounds good to me, though I'd probably make it an indented bullet, like this:

• Firmware
  • Beta Firmware

Also, was that meant to be a jab at me? :s --Dialexio 19:17, 27 November 2010 (UTC)

No jab. Sorry if it sounded so. I just don't want to play god here and make changes while all others have to ask. I expect the same from you, at least if it's something that could potentially be disputed. And regarding format, I still prefer one line, to make the main page a little more compact. It's too large to fit on one page already and I don't want to make that worse. --http 20:06, 27 November 2010 (UTC)

No harm done. :) If the edit is disputable, I would definitely ask on the talk page first. But I digress... Back to the topic. I must agree that the Main Page is definitely getting big, so your proposal would probably work better. --Dialexio 21:08, 27 November 2010 (UTC)
