Should the IndieWeb.org site have trailing slash URLs automatically redirect to the canonical non-trailing slash page instead of showing a '404 style ' page like :"There is currently no text in this page. You can search for this page title in other pages, search the related logs, or create this page."?

aaronpk

oh I see... it's MediaWiki's limitation. ;( can it be done on the CDN level? I use BunnyCDN and I can add a Edge rule to make all no slash page 301 to the trailing slash page or vice versa.
#
aaronpk
i would worry that would potentialy break other things
#
burgeonlab
Got it, thanks aaronpk

What is the dark forest

It looks like we don't have a page for "dark forest" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "dark forest is ____", a sentence describing the term)

Huh thought we had something stubbed on that
#
[tantek]
thinking about our unlisted IRC channels which are still human discoverable via our /discuss page – is that an example of a dimly lit forest perhaps?

You need to give events.indieweb.org links now; etherpad.indieweb.org links are not supported. I'll likely add this back at some point, but given the main use case is from the event page I thought I'd build that first.

The source code is now more concise and doesn't depend on Perl packages I don't fully understand.
#
[tantek]
That sounds like a big improvement in reducing dependencies!
#
capjamesg
Total lines of code is now ~50% less.

what is a quote
#
Loqi
“ A quotation is a type of response post that is primarily a subset of the contents of another post, and often has a citation of that other post https://indieweb.org/quote
#
capjamesg
quotes is a page for listing quotes you like.

I think /quotes is the curation and /quote is a type of post?

yeah, may need a bit of disambig or hat note near the top of each linking to each other

[tantek], for your review: https://indieweb.org/Template:update doesn't seem to be used on many pages, so maybe we can consolidate it and Template:note
