Wiki documentation conventions?
Many different screenshot styles are in use. Which style is preferred (linux/windows/mac). Newer is better? Arent (talk) 14:44, 27 July 2020 (CEST)
- I noticed you moved the Feedback page to an archive - it is relevant to your question above and referred to the BugTracker issue which I raised. Effectively, you cannot overwrite/update/delete images since late last year due to either a bug in the MediaWiki version or a corrupted images database or both (which is unknown). The upshot of this continuing issue is that when wanting to overwrite/update/delete an image, the only current option is to simply upload a new image with a new name and adjust the linked filename.
- As to which OS is better/preferred it depends on which OS the Wiki editor is using or prefers. The images are generally the same, but not always in the case of macOS (eg the Tools > Options menu item has been moved to Lazarus > Preferences (to be Mac interface-compliant) for macOS in Lazarus trunk and presumably in the next Lazarus release; similarly Help > About has been moved to Lazarus > About (to be Mac interface-compliant). There may be others, but I noticed those changes recently.
- For myself, I have only updated images that were no longer representative of the current Lazarus release and I have generally trimmed off the title bar indicia that would give away the OS so as to keep them as OS neutral as possible. Trev (talk) 03:20, 28 July 2020 (CEST)
