#
balintm i just submitted my first post to indienews the other day — just realized it's being pulled into this newsletter! i'm not seeing a snippet under my post and i'm wondering why that is; i think my h-entry checks out
#
gRegor [tantek], haven't set up a page for that yet, just on my sandbox page: https://indieweb.org/User:Gregorlove.com/sandbox#How_to_set_up_a_personal_template
#
balintm fwiw i followed this section for my sparkline: https://indieweb.org/wikifying#Step_Four:_Add_a_sparkline it was pretty straightforward!
#

#
gRegor Yeah, my sandbox page is a refactoring of that, probably to make its own page
#
gRegor Removes some jargon too
#
balintm neat
#
gRegor balintm++
#
Loqi balintm has 2 karma over the last year
#
tantek.com edited /home_server (+1270) "stub Why, How to, IndieWeb Examples, note rest of article is mostly uncited brainstorming without real world examples, take with many grains of salt, consider moving some generic information to Wikipedia instead" (view diff)
#
[tantek] we need major help with pruning and better gardening of the /home_server page
#
gRegor Articles show up in the newsletter as just the title and link. The "A post" you see there is a /note post, so there is no title
#
[tantek] there's a WHOLE BUNCH of generic uncited guidance there
#
[tantek] that should either be deleted, move to Wikipedia, or better documented with IndieWeb-relevant citations
#
balintm gRegor: ohh that makes sense thanks
#
[tantek] otherwise it reads like a bunch of supposedly authoritative guidance without any basis
#
xuid0.me edited /User:Xuid0.me (+356) "added URLs" (view diff)
#
[tantek] and furthermore, we need to develop a bit more skepticism of when folks add giant chunks of uncited guidance like that to the wiki and pushback rather than let it stand, i.e. call it out here in #indieweb-meta, ask questions about, ask if the person who added any guidance is actually following the guidance themselves, and if so, add their real world examples accordingly

#
[tantek] lol now that's going to make the newsletter and give people the impression that that's what the indieweb is about 😆
#
[tantek] quick, let's get some other pages in the top 10 edited
#
qubyte.codes edited /.wtf (+89) "Add my short links domain as an example." (view diff)
#
[tantek] wtf << short domains
#
Loqi ok, I added "short domains" to a new "See Also" section of /.wtf https://indieweb.org/wiki/index.php?diff=100226&oldid=100225
#
loqi.me edited /.wtf (+33) "[tantek] added "short domains" to "See Also"" (view diff)
#
[tantek] wat
#
[tantek] what are short domains
#
Loqi short domains are commonly used on the IndieWeb for personal short URLs, or clever domain names https://indieweb.org/short-domains
#
[tantek] ok Loqi so you found one but not the other?!?
#
[tantek] alright, bunch more gardening coming up for that
#
[tantek] too many things to fix / clean-up / post before the newsletter deadline
#
tantek.com edited /Special:Log/move () "moved [[short-domains]] to [[short domain]] over redirect: prefer singular, no need for hyphens for a while, spaces / underscores are fine" (view diff)
