@theFeu: I’d like to see you cleaning up topics in Howto category if they are no HowTos.
Ah, I already moved so many out… But yes, I am on it!
I also edited the template for the howto section just now to better reflect the purpose of the category
I suspect there’s a potential misunderstanding that this is the place to ask
“can someone tell me how to do X?”
Antony.
I moved this discussion over here for now, as it was off topic for the original.
So the problem I see with renaming is, that I don’t know whether the link to it will change (as the url has the name of the category in it https://community.icinga.com/c/howto/13
) and whether that would break external links.
I am not sure if the template I added was enough, what do you think?
The Howto section is meant for guides / tutorials / howtos.
If you want to ask a question on "How to do xxx" this is not the place and please look for a more fitting category.
If you are here to write a howto article, please go ahead! :slight_smile:
Update: Just read through some help in the discourse forum and it should work fine.
So you proposed “Tutorials” as the new name? I also had “Guides” as an idea, which feels more fitting to me, even though I do not have a factual explanation for it
If it is not a hassle i would prefer to rename the category.
According to GUIDE | Bedeutung im Cambridge Englisch Wörterbuch
there is no example for a noun thats fits here perfectly.
“To guide” would fit, but i am not sure if a verb should be the name for a category
I have renamed it to “Tutorials and Guides” now and hope that will fix the problem and maybe help people find the content too
It looks like even the new name does not work for @maurox521.
@theFeu: Maybe you should add something like “Please do not ask any questions here”.
I don’t think this should be neccessary, but I will put up the template again.
I have contacted the user privately about this now too.
