Guides will be appropriately (and manually) categorized by team members to keep the sidebar clean and consistent.
It’s intentional because we want these guides to be discussed and reviewed by the community as much as possible if there are any questions about the original post, since they haven’t gone through an actual review and consensus process. Definitely call out anything weird you see in guides in a reply, and definitely discuss guides you write with the community in the replies as well
If anyone would like an idea of a useful guide to contribute, the browsers section of the wiki (Topics tagged browsers) is intended to house recommended configuration guides for non-recommended browsers. So, for example, an IronFox guide might be appropriate here, or any other browser
Happy to! Although I do need you to join the @wiki-editors group first. We want authors of guides to license their work under the CC BY-SA 4.0 license (same as the rest of the site), which you agree to do when joining that group. That way the guides can be freely edited by others, and they benefit the larger community (including privacyguides.org as it will allow us to incorporate community-written guides on the site in the future)
That’s bad design, it would be cleaner to have a proper Wiki then a talk section IMO.
As said by @faxe there is a risk that false information is spread because of the lack of review.
That’s good to know if you also attribute with Github.
Also, I don’t see why you closed the Windows thread. It was a great place to see discussion about different options. ~You said there was good threads in the wiki section, but those are from 2022, so totally outdated.~ This is was it said on the wiki homepage, but the guides have updated yesterday by Jonah, although most of it seems to be cosmetic rather than substamtial.
If people want to talk about Windows why stop that discussion there ? Closing topics like that feels very arbitrary and unjustified. Maybe I am overblowing this Idk.
The Windows topic is also getting bloated with almost three years worth of replies. I think it may be worth creating more specific threads at this point
