Welcome to Misplaced Pages!
Hello Fsiler, welcome to Misplaced Pages!
I noticed nobody had said hi yet... Hi!
If you feel a change is needed, feel free to make it yourself! Misplaced Pages is a wiki, so anyone (yourself included) can edit any article by following the Edit this page link. Misplaced Pages convention is to be bold and not be afraid of making mistakes. If you're not sure how editing works, have a look at How to edit a page, or try out the Sandbox to test your editing skills.
You might like some of these links and tips:
- some General guidance.
- Tutorial and the Manual of Style.
- Find out how to revert, move and merge pages.
- Sign your posts on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~).
- Add yourself to the New user log and a regional notice board
- Ask questions at the Village pump or Help desk.
- Use the Show preview button
- Provide an Edit summary
- Add the correct image copyright tag to any images you upload
- Take a look at Consensus of standards
- Create a User page
If, for some reason, you are unable to fix a problem yourself, feel free to ask someone else to do it. Misplaced Pages has a vibrant community of contributors who have a wide range of skills and specialties, and many of them would be glad to help. As well as the wiki community pages there are IRC Channels, where you are more than welcome to ask for assistance.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask me on my talk page. Thanks and happy editing, Alf 09:50, 23 September 2005 (UTC).
User page
Thanks for your message, I particularly like the fsm babel, never spotted that one before : ) Maybe you'd also like to add the Category:Wikipedians in Illinois and Category:Wikipedian musicians ? Alf 11:52, 5 November 2005 (UTC)
Unix template?
Why would the UNIX template link to Linux?Fsiler 10:31, 11 November 2005 (UTC)
I'm sorry, which Unix template? Is there a Unix template already?
If not, what's wrong with a template listing Unix-like OSes, where all linux distros occupy just one position? --tyomitch 13:07, 11 November 2005 (UTC)

- That's almost exactly what I meant. Since we're discussing the nav template (not a category) there, "linking" and "listing" is the same thing: adding link to an article into the template.
- What disgusted me in the current revision of Template:linux-distro is exactly that linux distros are listed in a way supposing each of them is a new OS. --tyomitch 15:00, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
