If some of my things were deleted without justification, and there is a huge amount of content, and their content value is high, and the content is "over two years old" but is still perfectly valid and applies to software which has not changed, and the content was not moved elsewhere, then what other content has been inappropriately obliterated? cli-love (I have this backed up, is it recent?)

restore deleted pages

• User_talk:Wally

Dear wiki admin(s):

Holy god damn you obliterated a lot of content.

Deleting pages is not cool. There is zero reason for it. Instead, blank the content.

• Determine if that page has some value, to someone. Move the page as a sub-page to a user page, if it only has one editor.
• If moving content.
  1. Learn what points to a page and edit all of those links. ALL OF THEM.
  2. Blank the content out. Do not ever delete a page. Make sure the blanking-edit has an editing note with the exact page name of where the content went.
• If a page is "obsolete". Blank it out and clearly state it's obsolete data. Make sure the blanking-edit has an editing note with the exact page name of where the updated content is.
• If a page is a redirect you don't like, edit every single page which links to it. Or just leave it there. Redirects aren't murdering babies or anything.

Things I'm particularly pissed at you about:

• FAQ
• Beta installation
• cli-love
  • Cli-love/documentation updating idea
  • Cli-love/helpme revision idea
• Overview
• Webcam testing
• Firefox

.. what else did you delete? That functionality is ONLY FOR REMOVING SPAMBOT-CREATED PAGES. It goes contrary to everything wiki, and really really makes me want to knock you down and throttle the life out of you. — spiralofhope / ^(talk) 19:18, 9 June 2014 (CEST)

questions to find answers for

• Quickstart#Power_it_up
  • Is it necessary to plug the power supply into the mains FIRST, and then plug it into the Pandora SECOND?

unsorted pile

• SuperZaxxon doesn't seem to allow my hotkeys anymore. wtf.

• NEW: Bootmenu can now be configured using /autoboot.txt and /bootmenu.txt

• need chromium the browser, not the entire OS.
  • if the net connection isn't enabled before chromium is loaded, chromium will never be able to use the net connection.

• PND-related notes are scattered.
  • Introduction to PNDs
  • PND:FAQ
  • Libpnd hub?
  • I made a section in cli-love which ought to be exported to some generic location.

• A topic on swap files, and some details on zRam
  • [8]

  • [10]

• [11] VICE emulation tutorial.

• Special:Whatlinkshere/Template:FIXME

• Gallery functionality is really ugly. Something seems wrong.

• Special:Upload no longer functions. It gives:

 The upload directory (public) is not writable by the webserver.

• Learn more about PNDs
  • Can I mount and then run my own script? I want to pass parameters.
    • Yes, sortof. I've written a script for geany. Port it up here and review existing documentation. Provide it as an example if there's nothing good.
  • Hell, I want to be able to make file associations to a PND.
    • Doable.
  • Learn about editing to fix categories. Most are retarded.

• Template:HideableNotes is being used in USB compatibility list and probably elsewhere. Common.js needs to be updated to implement this functionality.

• Provide instructions to fix the sidebar.

• Ask to fix the footer.
  • When editing a page, it's pushed to the left. I'd bet someone tinkered with the CSS or templating.

• Build a list of "troubled pages"
  • Pandora seems out of place.
    • Basic specs should be summarized on the first page.

• Special:SpecialPages - maintenance

• Update MediaWiki (Special:Version says we're 1.32.0-alpha). 1.19.0 was released 2012-05-02.

• Build a CSS editing todo list
  • Add more space above sections.
  • stylize <tt> and <pre>

• Outside links should be labelled. I believe there's a configuration option for this.

• Protect various templates used in the more official public-facing documents. Build a list.
  • Special:WhatLinksHere
  • Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:Ambox

  • For the spam "prevention", whitelist various official resources.
  • Replace the damned system entirely.

• Implement table sorting.

• Bug: Searching for a string which does not have a page - does not prompt to create the page.

• Wiki gallery functionality seems semi-broken. See Keyboard.

• Create an export/backup procedure
  • [12]
  • [13]
  • Ungh, write a script?
  • One guy suggested (from 2005?)
    1. get a list of all pages with specialAllPages
    2. save that list into a text file
    3. replace tab characters with newline (e.g. with sed) giving a list of all wiki pages, each page in a separate line
    4. paste that list into special:export
    5. ensure you save the XML, not the HTML representation
  • UPDATE: WikiTeam has solutions

More personal todo

• Firefox is horrifically slow.
  • It is said that a zrom will fix this. Update to a more recent beta to have that.
  • It is said that a swapfile will help.
  • UPDATE: Is it still a problem?
  • deleted: Bastard admin deletes pages instead of blanking them out, and doesn't check at what links to those pages.

• Is there a port of zsh on the Pandora?
  • Maybe port it myself.

• Research more deeply into lxde. It needs to be spruced up so I can replace the default desktop environment.
  • where is the openbox config? Right now I have to

    \openbox --replace

    Check appdata.
