In these Wikipedia articles, the GNU/Linux system (but never, curiously enough, the GNU/FreeBSD system, the GNU/Darwin system, etc.) is nearly always truncated to "Linux" (which gives newcomers the wrong impression that Linus created the whole system, or at best, the GNU project were just a few little people that helped him along the way), and "Free Software" is usually called "open source" instead (which incorrectly makes Stallman, the FSF and Free Software advocates appear like quixotic extremists to a newcomer, when in fact the term "open source" did not even exist until 1998). Let's at least use terminological compromises like "Free and Open Source Software" and "GNU/Linux" instead of "Linux". <a href="/wiki/Special:Contributions/68.155.217.251" title="Special:Contributions/68.155.217.251">68.155.217.251</a> (<a href="/w/index.php?title=User_talk:68.155.217.251&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="User talk:68.155.217.251 (page does not exist)">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template_talk:Linux_distributions#c-68.155.217.251-2010-03-18T22:00:00.000Z-Koolabsol-2010-03-18T21:31:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">22:00, 18 March 2010 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-68.155.217.251-2010-03-18T22:00:00.000Z-Koolabsol-2010-03-18T21:31:00.000Z"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-68.155.217.251-2010-03-18T22:00:00.000Z-Koolabsol-2010-03-18T21:31:00.000Z"></span></dd></dl> <p><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Koolabsol-2010-03-19T01:59:00.000Z-Proper_name"></span>From: <a href="/wiki/Talk:Linux" title="Talk:Linux">Talk:Linux</a> "Merge this article with Linux distribution: No, this is a WP:SUMMARY style article for the broader Linux picture Can we rename this page to GNU/Linux?

The title will be Linux distribution as long as Linux is Linux and Linux distribution is Linux distribution. I can not do anything about it and being immature about it and changing the title of the Linux distributions template to use the correct terminology while you can not do anything about the other, more prominent title errors will not get anyone anywhere. If you bring this up with an administrator and fix the problem at the root then naturally the title will be changed to the proper name.

I'm not really a team player. I replaced Xubuntu with Elive as as I find it more notable than Xubuntu for being the only Enlightenment distro on the list. I assumed that the list shouldn't get overgrown so I removed Xubuntu, if it's okay for the list to grow big then you can just add Xubuntu back. I removed SystemRescueCd as you called it into question and there doesn't appear to be anything making it notable. Changed <a href="/wiki/Gentoo_Linux" title="Gentoo Linux">Gentoo</a> to <a href="/wiki/Gentoo_Linux" title="Gentoo Linux">Gentoo Linux</a> as it is the proper title of both the distro and the article. Added <a href="/w/index.php?title=TinyMe&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="TinyMe (page does not exist)">TinyMe</a> for being one of the only extremely minimal distro's to be used on old computers, appearing to notable. As it is number 38 on the distrowatch list that you linked to earlier. Ordering on that list is also reason for some other changes but I am almost certain I am forgetting which ones. Replaced <a href="/wiki/Red_Flag_Linux" title="Red Flag Linux">Red Flag Linux</a> with <a href="/wiki/Puppy_Linux" title="Puppy Linux">Puppy Linux</a>, added <a href="/wiki/Damn_Small_Linux" title="Damn Small Linux">Damn Small Linux</a>, <a href="/wiki/Tiny_Core_Linux" title="Tiny Core Linux">Tiny Core Linux</a>, <a href="/wiki/Moblin" title="Moblin">Moblin</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Pardus_(operating_system)" title="Pardus (operating system)">Pardus Linux</a> as they meet the distrowatch number cut off and are notable.

I had removed it because it had just 44k google/linux hits, and was number 24 in the last 12 months on distrowatch.

It was previously there, but was removed in an earlier deletionist spree :) To be fair, it needs to be said that it's got 82k g/l hits, only no. 229 on distrowatch, and a reasonable article.</dd> <dd>Puppy Linux seems fine to me. 201k on google/linux, distrowatch has it at number 9.</dd> <dd>Tiny Core Linux is hard to verify via google/linux search - the string without quotes has just 44k hits, with quotes has over a million hits (!), and on distrowatch it's number 15. It would help if its article didn't already have a cleanup tag on it.</dd> <dd>Pardus - 133k gl hits which is workable, but only number 35 on dw, and the article has a cleanup tag on it. That's borderline IMO.</dd> <dd>Moblin is a bit better - 203k gl hits, number 36 on dw, but a decent article.</dd> <dd>I had already added Damn Small and Chrome/Chromium so there's no argument there from me.

Of course, that doesn't exactly say which links should be in the template, but I think this is something that can simply be discussed here. That was already done in the past and will surely be discussed more.<br/> I rollbacked the template after reading too quickly ChristTrekker's comment suggesting to go back to a single line. I missed the part suggesting categorization using parentheses. So I'm sorry, I had a false impression of support when going back to the concise version. I'm not sure what to think about using parentheses. I'm not completely against the principle of categorization, but we should only do it if numbers justify it, since templates should be concise. Proposed categories are too small. Furthermore, even <a href="/wiki/List_of_Linux_distributions" title="List of Linux distributions">List of Linux distributions</a>, which is more or less a full version of the template, is moving towards no (or few) categories, since there are many overlapping categorizations possible. --<a href="/wiki/User:Chealer" title="User:Chealer">Chealer</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Chealer" title="User talk:Chealer">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template_talk:Linux_distributions#c-Chealer-2010-06-05T19:15:00.000Z-Joy-2010-06-03T11:57:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">19:15, 5 June 2010 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Chealer-2010-06-05T19:15:00.000Z-Joy-2010-06-03T11:57:00.000Z"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Chealer-2010-06-05T19:15:00.000Z-Joy-2010-06-03T11:57:00.000Z"></span></dd></dl></dd></dl></dd></dl> <dl><dd><dl><dd><dl><dd><dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Joy-2010-06-05T20:28:00.000Z-Chealer-2010-06-05T19:15:00.000Z"></span>AFAICT we have tried discussing it and have failed to produce any sort of a coherent criterion for inclusion.

To these questions I would answer that yes, someone non-expert in Linux distributions may click the links. Not often, but with a similar likeliness as any template link. I wonder if Google Analytics could confirm. Regarding which distributions should be linked to directly, it would be of very little value IMO to link to the Linux distributions category. That category is huge, the interesting articles are found in subcategories, and the vast majority of articles are uninteresting. It would also be crazy to link to all distributions with an article on Wikipedia. There are over 200. So, I think the right thing to do is to continue linking to those distributions which are the most relevant. Yes, the criterion we use to measure that is highly imperfect, and there will be no doubt more debate about which distributions should be linked to directly, but I still think this is the page to have this discussion. --<a href="/wiki/User:Chealer" title="User:Chealer">Chealer</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Chealer" title="User talk:Chealer">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template_talk:Linux_distributions#c-Chealer-2010-06-23T06:49:00.000Z-Joy-2010-06-05T20:28:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">06:49, 23 June 2010 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Chealer-2010-06-23T06:49:00.000Z-Joy-2010-06-05T20:28:00.000Z"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Chealer-2010-06-23T06:49:00.000Z-Joy-2010-06-05T20:28:00.000Z"></span></dd></dl></dd></dl></dd></dl></dd></dl></dd></dl> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="Template_Protection" data-mw-thread-id="h-Template_Protection-2010-05-13T08:33:00.000Z"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Template_Protection-2010-05-13T08:33:00.000Z"></span>Template Protection<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Template_Protection-2010-05-13T08:33:00.000Z"></span></h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Template_talk:Linux_distributions&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: Template Protection"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-bar"><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-metadata"></div><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-actions"></div></div></div> <p><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Joy-2010-05-13T08:33:00.000Z-Template_Protection"></span>After having to police a continuous stream of largely bad edits over the last few weeks, I've skimmed over the template history once again, and it seems to me that all we have is trouble.
