The current infobox is a bit weird to work with, it would be nicer to have the have the one that Wikipedia uses. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:Infobox [[User:Craftplacer|Craftplacer]] ([[User talk:Craftplacer|talk]]) 12:44, 26 December 2021 (CET)

It would be neat if there's also infobox templates for like instances, Fediverse clients, projects, etc. In the end, everything should look a bit uniform.

== Forums or general discussion pages ==
Site has no Forum or similar namespace. Where should we raise matters that are broader than is appropriate for an article or other Talk page? Could this page be it? [[User:Robin Patterson|Robin Patterson]] ([[User talk:Robin Patterson|talk]]) 05:05, 28 November 2022 (UTC)
:We had a Discourse forum a while back. It now turned into a lemmy instance, but its not being used yet, because of some bugs.<br>
:For now this is probably a good place.<br>

==CC-BY-NC-SA==
The non-commercial license makes this wiki incompatible with all other CC licenses, including those of Wikipedia and some Fediverse sites. See https://wiki.creativecommons.org/wiki/Wiki/cc_license_compatibility. Why was it chosen?
An example of disadvantage is this notification on my timeline after the "NC" was queried when I suggested that much of FediThing's helpful material could be duplicated here:
"FediThing @FediThing@tech.lgbt
"@RFPatterson
"Unfortunately it looks like the licences aren't compatible, so they cannot use my text under their licence:
"https://wiki.creativecommons.org/wiki/Wiki/cc_license_compatibility
"However, the basic facts are in the public domain so if they want to write stuff in their own words they can do so."

:I am an anti-capitalist, so I like anti-capitalist licenses.<br>
:I don't think its incompatible. After all it says "unless otherwise noted", so you can copy something with a different license and note it.<br>
:Also if say you wanted to use some text from here in Wikipedia we could simply make an exception.<br>
