samueldr: thanks :) i think the archlinux wiki handles it differently, it essentially has a giant article for each technology
<makefu>
but i think package is something special in nix
<joepie91>
makefu: samueldr: fwiw, I do occasionally run into the issue of anchors on the arch wiki no longer working and having to hunt for something that sometimes isn't even on the page anymore but has been moved
<makefu>
joepie91: so you also would suggest having smaller articles?
<joepie91>
I would be in favour of that, yes, with interlinking to shared things where necessary / useful
<joepie91>
ideally you want to write the articles such that a complete Nix beginner can end up on a specific packaging article, and find their way back to where they need to start to understand it
<joepie91>
(since there's not one path that people use to learn about packaging)
<joepie91>
so eg. a "Jekyll plugin packaging" page might link to the "Ruby packaging" page to explain Ruby packaging more broadly, which may itself refer to a generic "packaging stuff in nixpkgs" page, which itself might refer to "this is the language you use for this"
<makefu>
sounds quite reasonable
<samueldr>
^ that's how I planned the installation page, the installation page has the broad strokes AND strong recommendations to the usual
<samueldr>
and as needed, links to alternatives, and to disambiguation pages
<makefu>
okay then lets try to use this as a pattern for other topics as well
