::I understand. Ok, no merge. But currently both are about the app. We should put that content into [[SwitchBoard.app]] and focus [[Sierra 7C108b]] more on the firmware then (would be very short right now).

with a new name
We have only one page for [[User:Ih8sn0w|IH8sn0w]], but with this name we have both things: the person and the team. I'm not sure how to do this. He is listed as a member of his group. Also all referals should distinguish then, that's quite difficult. He himself also had no idea. Maybe a new page with [[IH8sn0w team]] where the current content should go to? -- [[User:Http|http]] 19:20, 6 August 2010 (UTC)

A similar problem exists for chronic. It is split already: [[User:ChronicDev]] (user) and [[Chronic Dev (team)|Chronic Dev]] (team). I think we should rename the team to [[Chronic Dev (team)|Chronic Dev Team]], although this is not their official name, but it helps to distinguish. What do you think? -- [[User:Http|http]] 19:27, 6 August 2010 (UTC)

:We could use parentheses, such as [[iH8sn0w (team)]] and [[Chronic Dev (team)]]. Alternatively, we could use prefixes, like [[Team:iH8sn0w]] and [[Team:Chronic Dev]]. --[[User:Dialexio|<span style="color:#C20; font-weight:normal;">Dialexio</span>]] 19:56, 6 August 2010 (UTC)

The Logo should be updated as the wiki is no longer iPhone only but (I think) all iOS devices (or a larger part of it). Possibly also a new URL? theioswiki (but i know this is not as easy) -- [[User:M2m|M2m]] 16:09, 14 September 2010 (UTC)

:A new URL would be something that Geohot would have to do. But although this is not only about iPhones, that doesn't mean we have to change the logo or the URL.

=== Baseband: Processor vs. Platform ===
 
I'm enjoying learning about the highly technical side to the iPhone, but after what's happened with geohot, will this site continue? -- [[User:MaybachMan|MaybachMan]] 16:46, 14 July 2010 (UTC)

All right, so The iPhone Wiki has articles about baseband ''processors''. However, the [[XMM 6180]] is about the baseband ''platform''. The wiki mostly references baseband processors, but I'm a bit reluctant to go that route since it was [[User:Oranav|Oranav]], who definitely knows more about the baseband than me, that changed the article from baseband processor to baseband platform. I'd like to keep things consistent, so should we stick with referencing it by processor or platform? This inconsistency is bugging the crap out of me. --[[User:Dialexio|<span style="color:#C20; font-weight:normal;">Dialexio</span>]] 06:19, 9 August 2010 (UTC)
 
 
=== Cleanup orphaned pages ===
 
The [[Special:Lonelypages|orphaned pages]] should be cleaned up. Possible work:
 
*most of those pages need to get updated
 
*add a link on another page to it, so that it's not orphaned anymore
 
*The main page and some disambiguation pages may remain orphaned.
 
*Some pages are really old, outdated and not worth to get updated. In this case add a deletion request to its talk page.
 
*Maybe we need a new overview page that links to some of these pages (e.g. my request for a [[Beta Firmware]] page, see [[Talk:VFDecrypt_Keys:_3.x_BETA#STOP]])
 
*Please note that links with a prefix don't count for this list, so that pages that only appear on a Category page also appear in this list. To get the full links list, go to the page and click "what links here".
 
I started with a little cleanup already. --[[User:Http|http]] 10:02, 23 October 2010 (UTC)
 
 
=== Deleting Firmware (keys) pages ===
 
One thing. A key page should never be deleted unless it is empty. They still have valublw info on them. --[[User:Balloonhead66|Balloonhead66]] 03:55, 20 November 2010 (UTC)
 
:I agree. Firmware pages shouln't get deleted. Missing information will get filled out sooner or later anyway. And we don't want to delete and recreate them. I'll delete firmware pages only if the page's name is wrong. If information on it is wrong, please just write it onto the page or remove the wrong info. If the page is empty (no keys) this still applies, but please don't create new empty pages. --[[User:Http|http]] 08:26, 20 November 2010 (UTC)
 
 
=== Polls ===
 
I think we should have a page for polls, like this: [[Polls]]. I am requesting this as I need to take a quick survey, and I don't know where to place it. The poll does relate to the iPhone... --[[User:Balloonhead66|Balloonhead66]] 00:41, 16 November 2010 (UTC)
 
 
=== iPhone Compatibility ===
 
Well the wikis startpage (and maybe other pages) do not display really good on the iphone ;) -- [[User:M2m|M2m]] 16:11, 14 September 2010 (UTC)
 
:Well, I think it's good enough. Ok, it's not optimized, but it's ok. If we improve the startpage to have only one column, then that would look ugly on a PC. I work a lot in here from my iPhone. The biggest problem is the edit box. You cannot really edit big texts from your iPhone. But that's a problem of the Wiki itself (Mediawiki) and we cannot fix that just by changing texts or layout. -- [[User:Http|http]] 22:25, 14 September 2010 (UTC)
 
::On all textboxes, use 2 fingers to scroll --[[User:Balloonhead66|Balloonhead66]] 02:52, 27 October 2010 (UTC)
 
::Installing the extension [http://mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:MobileSkin MobileSkin] would be something [[User:geohot|geohot]] would have to do. Also he would have to create a mobile skin as all that extension does is display a skin over the default MonoBook skin... --[[User:Balloonhead66|Balloonhead66]] 00:43, 16 November 2010 (UTC)
