Make How To more useful by modifying titles

31 January 2025, 01:30:02

Unfortunately at the moment the Artix How To forum is not great and it's hard to see what each thread is advocating at a glance.

Would it be possible for a volunteer (and yes if no one else, I can put in a few hours) to go through each of the threads and reformat the title to better follow the...

"How to...
Setup an AI on Artix
Optimize Steam / Proton for artix
Enable auto rotation for Wayland while using Plasma and OpenRC
"

As opposed to such titles as
"
Plasma / Wayland Screen auto-rotation / open-rc
Steam & Proton is amazing.
An easier method for generating menus w/ icons in openbox with obmenu2
"

as well as get rid of some stuff that's really just a link to some other site entirely. Not that I think the links aren't useful, but it would be better for the guides to be hosted locally and not rely on external sites which can die or in the case of reddit get redacted at a whim if the poster suddenly decides they don't like the websites policies (i.e. Reddit).

I agree, some threads could benefit from a curator. But since you're a new user, we can't possibly give you mod/admin rights right away. If you're still around and actively contributing by 2026, we'd be more than happy to bring you on-board.

In the meantime, we can sticky this thread and you can post the thread URLs you think should change with the proposed title just below, which should make it easy to modify them. People on the forum team can then review and apply the changes.
