^ If folks have pages on the wiki they think are suitable for a Guides category please feel to chime in or add the category to the relevant page(s).

Some overlap with https://indieweb.org/Category:tutorial, could probably merge into whichever term is preferable

[gRegorLove] yeah, https://indieweb.org/Category:tutorial definitely overlaps. I will mull on that. https://indieweb.org/documentation might benefit from including a list dynamically. Also some of these would benefit from periodic edits. It's hard work to keep a tutorial current but might be the kind of thing we could take on as a group. Like a warning at the top of them like a stub warning _iI you think this tutorial/guide/howto is out of

Is there a way to find errant "/p/" pages on the wiki created by the archives before it was fixed
#
[tantek]
What are recent changes
#
Loqi
recent changes is a stream of updated posts or pages from a site, ordered by most recently updated first, commonly known from wikis like the IndieWeb https://indieweb.org/Special:RecentChanges page https://indieweb.org/recent_changes
#
[tantek]
Ok maybe it was just that one recently
#
[artlung]
Category Events gets added to archived events with James' bot. https://indieweb.org/Category:Events would in theory show that
#
[tantek]
Directly look for edits from the bot
#
[artlung]
a wiki is nicely metadata rich. many ways to spelunk

oh right, it's a w3c repo

[tantek]
aaronpk, I have rejoined the Social Web WG and was planning to help with editing various IndieWeb specs to incorporate errata. If you're interested as well: https://www.w3.org/groups/wg/social/ has the join link!
#
aaronpk

unlikely you can join as an IE since your org (Okta) is a W3C Member! yes you'll have to ask your AC rep to add you

I suspect MacOS Safari made some changes about ... something... but I was unable to complete an upload of group photo using it. Tried Firefox worked immediately. Safari seemed to pause. I didn't delve into why or inspect anything but it's a datapoint for uploaders.

My Safari version Version 26.2 (20623.1.14.18.4)

what is humans.txt
#
Loqi
Well-known refers to designating a common URL on domains for data to be located typically automatically by some software (like a browser or a search engine), and is generally an antipattern to be avoided, because it breaks the portability of content across directories and systems; see follow your nose instead https://indieweb.org/Humans.txt
