== Posting [[KBAG]]s ==
 
Is there really a need to post [[KBAG]]s, if we already have decryption keys? Hell better yet instead of posting [[KBAG]]'s post missing keys. --[[User:GreySyntax|GreySyntax]] 16:57, 12 November 2010 (UTC)
 
: i agree, [[KBAG]]'s are practically useless after you have got the keys from them but [[User:liamchat|liamchat]] seems to post them anyway... --[[User:Cj|cj]] 17:01, 12 November 2010 (UTC)
 
:: i added them because i didn't have that device and on some pages the [[KBAG]]'s are there with the keys so why not do that on all pages --[[User:Liamchat|liamchat]] 20:38, 12 November 2010 (UTC)
 
:::Posting the [[KBAG]] and not saying what there from is useless. --[[User:GreySyntax|GreySyntax]] 20:40, 12 November 2010 (UTC)
 
:::the layout was confusing i grab them in one big lump and it follows a generic system ( see [[User_talk:Liamchat#KBAGs|KBAG layout ]] ) --[[User:Liamchat|liamchat]] 20:45, 12 November 2010 (UTC)
 
::::The least you could do is place them appropriately, and not force someone like me to clean up after you. --[[User:Dialexio|<span style="color:#C20; font-weight:normal;">Dialexio</span>]] 21:10, 12 November 2010 (UTC)
 
 
== Protection ==
 
Can someone inform me why the main page was protected from all users? Not just newly created users? Cheers. --[[User:Beau|Beau]] 03:19, 8 November 2010 (UTC)
 
:An edit war took place earlier, and unfortunately there's no option to protect it from just newly created users. If you want to make a change, Http and I will be more than happy to carry it out (pending approval, but we're pretty reasonable). --[[User:Dialexio|<span style="color:#C20; font-weight:normal;">Dialexio</span>]] 03:46, 8 November 2010 (UTC)
 
::There kindof is, you just need to update to 1.16, but i guess only geohot can do that... :( --[[User:Balloonhead66|Balloonhead66]] 03:49, 8 November 2010 (UTC)
 
:::What was the war about? --[[User:Balloonhead66|Balloonhead66]] 00:22, 17 November 2010 (UTC)
 
:::Thanks [[User:Dialexio|Dialexio]], just thought that it was strange that Wiki pages are starting to be put together for [[:/Applications]] yet there's no link present on the main page - if anything it might fit best atop the Software list. --[[User:Beau|Beau]] 03:58, 8 November 2010 (UTC)
 
::::It's actually already there, under the name "Filesystem" (which links to the root directory of iOS). :) --[[User:Dialexio|<span style="color:#C20; font-weight:normal;">Dialexio</span>]] 04:33, 8 November 2010 (UTC)
 
 
== Protection on [[Main Page/Welcome]] ==
 
I think you should protect [[Main Page/Welcome]] as it is editable by anyone... That is how I added the info on an IRC chatroom... --[[User:Balloonhead66|Balloonhead66]] 18:51, 24 November 2010 (UTC)
 
:does this work on any other part's of this page and do we need an irc channel for a wiki --[[User:Liamchat|liamchat]] 23:18, 24 November 2010 (UTC)
 
::No reason not to have an IRC, just leave it be and people can go there to discuss things like formatting and what not. --[[User:JacobVengeance|JakeAnthraX]] 23:41, 24 November 2010 (UTC)
 
:::It would be better to have it on a more iOS centered network such as Chronic's irc or OSx86. --[[User:GreySyntax|GreySyntax]] 23:52, 24 November 2010 (UTC)
 
:::i have just made a better one on irc.expl0it.com in the room theiphonewiki however we need a system if people decide to use this --[[User:Liamchat|liamchat]] 00:37, 25 November 2010 (UTC)
 
::The Main Page is protected for three years only because n00bs kept adding themselves as iPhone hackers. Otherwise, it'd be open for editing by users like you. I see no need to protect [[Main Page/Welcome]] as long as there's no edit war, vandalism, or spam. :) --[[User:Dialexio|<span style="color:#C20; font-weight:normal;">Dialexio</span>]] 23:27, 24 November 2010 (UTC)
 
:::Surely there is no way it'll stay protected for 3 years, right? Just until we can get the n00bs to stop being so ridiculous, I suppose. It doesn't really matter, as I don't actually edit the main page, but I think it's rather funny. :P --[[User:Dra1nerdrake|dra1nerdrake]] 00:00, 25 November 2010 (UTC)
 
::::Too bad people ignored [http://theiphonewiki.com/wiki/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=protect&user=Dialexio&page=Main+Page my warning from September]. :s ''Maybe'' I'll feel nice during the holidays? --[[User:Dialexio|<span style="color:#C20; font-weight:normal;">Dialexio</span>]] 00:19, 25 November 2010 (UTC)
 
:::::If I could 'Like', 'Favorite', or 'Retweet' that post, I'd do it in a heartbeat. --[[User:Dra1nerdrake|dra1nerdrake]] 16:56, 26 November 2010 (UTC)
 
 
== Beta Firmware ==
 
I'd like to add [[Beta Firmware]] to the list and thought of putting it on the same line as [[Firmware]], like this:
 
*[[Firmware]] and [[Beta Firmware]]
 
Anybody against that? Because this page is protected I think it's polite to ask first. -- [[User:Http|http]] 18:44, 27 November 2010 (UTC)
 
:Sounds good to me, though I'd probably make it an indented bullet, like this:
 
:*[[Firmware]]
 
:**[[Beta Firmware]]
 
:Also, was that meant to be a jab at me? :s --[[User:Dialexio|<span style="color:#C20; font-weight:normal;">Dialexio</span>]] 19:17, 27 November 2010 (UTC)
 
::No jab. Sorry if it sounded so. I just don't want to play god here and make changes while all others have to ask. I expect the same from you, at least if it's something that could potentially be disputed. And regarding format, I still prefer one line, to make the main page a little more compact. It's too large to fit on one page already and I don't want to make that worse. --[[User:Http|http]] 20:06, 27 November 2010 (UTC)
 
:::No harm done. :) If the edit is disputable, I would definitely ask on the talk page first. But I digress... Back to the topic. I must agree that the Main Page is definitely getting big, so your proposal would probably work better. --[[User:Dialexio|<span style="color:#C20; font-weight:normal;">Dialexio</span>]] 21:08, 27 November 2010 (UTC)
 
::::Done. --[[User:Http|http]] 21:48, 27 November 2010 (UTC)
 
 
 
== ABC order ==
 
I'd like to reorganize the links in alphabetical order, in an effort to curb my OCD-esque tendencies. Nobody has any aversions to this, right? --[[User:Dialexio|<span style="color:#C20; font-weight:normal;">Dialexio</span>]] 07:23, 31 December 2010 (UTC)
 
:What links do you want to sort? Example? Not that I want to do that (I work mostly from iPhone), but I'd like to know what you want to change. Or only on this page? --[[User:Http|http]] 08:07, 31 December 2010 (UTC)
 
::Sorry if I wasn't clear before. I was referring to some of the links on the Main Page. (Namely, the Hardware section, but there are other links that aren't arranged in alphabetical order either.) --[[User:Dialexio|<span style="color:#C20; font-weight:normal;">Dialexio</span>]] 08:41, 31 December 2010 (UTC)
 
:::I would prefer a chronological order. Mostly this order matches alphabetical order, but not always. This can apply also for the hardware list, like the compass being added to later devices. But you're right that there are totally unsorted areas. --[[User:Http|http]] 12:38, 31 December 2010 (UTC)

Hacker User Pages

Does anyone else think we should organize them so there is the piece at the top that says who they, what team they are/were in, and other basic info. Then have an Achievements section below it stating what they have found/released? Just a thought. --JakeAnthraX 17:14, 4 January 2011 (UTC)

Something like this list? --http 18:10, 4 January 2011 (UTC)
I meant directly on the user pages, like User:pod2g and so on. So there is a uniform look to it all. --JakeAnthraX 18:30, 4 January 2011 (UTC)

Processors

We have a single entry here for Baseband Device, but the three processors (S-Gold 2, X-Gold 608 and XMM 6180) are not listed. --http 22:24, 12 January 2011 (UTC)

Looks like nobody wanted to discuss this. I went ahead and changed it now. --http 01:31, 15 January 2011 (UTC)

Seas0nPass

Can we add it? --Balloonhead66 03:46, 18 January 2011 (UTC)

Sounds fine with me; it is pretty notable, after all. :) --Dialexio 03:54, 18 January 2011 (UTC)
Great, but I can't add it... --Balloonhead66 03:56, 18 January 2011 (UTC)
Yes, I'm aware of that. :) I'd like to wait a little bit in case anyone has an objection, though. (That, and I'm reorganizing a page.) --Dialexio 03:59, 18 January 2011 (UTC)
