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.

With parser functions installed. I was thinking about creating the ultimate key list things for the fw. I am awesome at parser functions and could do it. Because one edit would be spaces across all of the pages. Any thoughts? --Balloonhead66 01:28, 16 July 2011 (MDT)

For me it is not clear what you want to change exactly. Please explain in more detail. Thanks. --http 03:51, 16 July 2011 (MDT)

New rule proposal

I've discussed this with http, and we'd like to introduce a new rule. Once in a while, we all come across that time where somebody makes a bunch of consecutive changes (editing pages, uploading files, moving pages, etc.). It hinders everyone's ability to go through the recent changes to see or monitor newly-added information, and clogs up people's Twitter timelines. Therefore, http and I want to introduce a rule: be reasonable with the amount of changes you make in a day. I think about 20 changes per hour per user should be good. Of course, exceptions can always be made; simply drop a note explaining why ahead of time. Obviously, actions like reversing vandalism can be overlooked. Failure to abide by this rule can result in a warning (first offense), a one week ban (second offense), a two week ban (third offense), a month-long ban (fourth offense), or a permanent ban (fifth offense). Thoughts on this? I want to stress that this is just a proposal at the moment. This has not been made into an official rule yet. --Dialexio 19:50, 16 July 2011 (MDT)

Sorry about that. The 403 error is coming back to haunt me again, for me it affects external links and big edits, and once it errors me out on that page, it wont let me edit that page again... So I had to space it out. --Balloonhead66 20:07, 16 July 2011 (MDT)

Sounds good to me. --JakeAnthraX 20:11, 16 July 2011 (MDT)

I like it, again sorry. --Balloonhead66 20:17, 16 July 2011 (MDT)

I would set a limit per 24 hours and another per week. Or to make it easier to verify, a limit on the number that appears in the active users list (last 30 days). Also Balloonhead had the pre-approval to separate the firmware page (not the other ones though), so changes with exact pre-approvals wouldn't count towards this limit (or as 1). Maybe Talk page edits also shouldn't count? I think the main problem is flooding the timeline without having better content. I also sometimes make a lot of changes by fixing typos or double redirects. Should that count? I would also add a limit of 5 edits on the user page(s) per week. If you want, we can also leave it just as you proposed; any change counts, but max. 20/hour. But please also specify if you mean full hours or 60 minutes. That's a difference if s/o makes 15 changes at ten to five and another 15 changes at ten past five. Would that be over limit or not? And just to make it clear; having multiple accounts shouldn't help avoiding this rule. --http 02:31, 17 July 2011 (MDT)

I agree that minor edits like fixing typos shouldn't (and won't) apply to this rule, but it will still congest the change log. We could extend this rule to provide a separate limit for minor edits, or not impose a limit for minor edits altogether; I'm open to either one. (Don't even think about using the "minor edit" flag for gigantic section updates.) As for the limit, maybe we'll have a combination of the two: users can make up 20 edits per hour (I'm actually beginning to lean more towards a 15 edits/hour limit now, if that's fine), and no more than 50 edits per day. And nobody should even have multiple accounts on here to begin with. :P --Dialexio 11:58, 17 July 2011 (MDT)

I like that, but is it reset every hour on the hour or is it 60 minutes for the 15/20 edits? --Balloonhead66 13:37, 17 July 2011 (MDT)

Update to 1.17 time messup

Since the update, everyone's time of post is messed up, can you go to your preferances and change it to your real time zone? --Balloonhead66 13:37, 17 July 2011 (MDT)

Old software

There is a bit of old jailbreak and package managers that need to be added to the wiki just so it is more complete. For example there is touchFree, Rock.app, and iJailbreak are a few I know of that "should" be added. Anyone care to help? --JakeAnthraX 22:31, 16 July 2011 (MDT)
