Request for a Community Guides Forum Category

[Quiksilver]

So I really would like to write some guides here on the forum that may be useful to the community but there is no such category. Although I understand guides could have harmful, wrong info, or AI slop so if you do add the category, you could require vetting by moderators or add a community notes to them.

Best Regards,

I don’t like documentation in forums. It belongs into the wiki to allow for collaborative editing. Related:

• Wiki is the Primary Source of Information vs Forums
• Security Guide Limitations

Also somewhat applicable:

First-Time Source Code Contributor Policy

I.e. I suggest with small wiki edits first and build up from there.

Improve the Documentation / Edit the Kicksecure Wiki

Sample community maintained wiki chapter:
Anonymous Web Third-Party Hosting Providers

List of Hosting Providers That Accept Cryptocurrencies as Payment - General Tor and Anonymity Talk - Whonix Forum

Moderators do not have the resources to vet them. There has been a recent suggestion on the Qubes OS Forum about displaying a “last checked/edited by” quote footnote below a guide:

Display "last checked by" and "last edited by" on Community guides?

However, so far, there has been no formal acknowledgement by the admin about it.

Exactly.

And if a user account is compromised, malicious edits can be made. Hard to review in the forums as the forum software isn’t designed for documentation/code edit review.

There has been a recent suggestion on the Qubes OS Forum about displaying a “last checked/edited by” quote footnote below a guide:

Re-inventing MediaWiki or similar documentation management software.
