License issues

List incomplete IceCat add-ons

Free Software Directory:IceCat extensions (proposed)/FSD bugs issue 1

Add required text for License

For Create, when a user try to save the page with Homepage not filled out the text There were errors with your form input; see below. will appear on the Save tab. On the General info tab the text Homepage URL (required) cannot be blank text will appear.

However, there are no text that says that License fields must be filled if they are not.

List unapproved IceCat add-ons

We could reuse the source of https://directory.fsf.org/wiki?title=Special:ApprovedRevs&show=unapproved so we can tweak to show only unapproved IceCat add-ons.

Entries with empty Licence fields should not be able to approve

It should only be possible to approve entries with filled License fields. This policy must include the automatic approval when pages are save.

License list is incomplete

How do we list all 251 licenses found in https://directory.fsf.org/wiki/Category:License to "Edit -> Licenses" for entries?

The license list should only be a drop down menu

Currently the license list found under "Licenses" is a hybrid of a dropdown but you can also add text by hand there too. This is not good as only selected licenses will show up:

• I added this page: https://directory.fsf.org/wiki/License:Creative_Commons_Attribution_Share-Alike_4.0
• I Added "Creative Commons Attribution Share-Alike 4.0" to https://directory.fsf.org/wiki/Anti-Adblock_Killer
• Anti-Adblock Killer is not listed in https://directory.fsf.org/wiki/IceCat/Greasemonkey. It will list Anti-Adblock Killer only if I select a license from the list

Therefore is should neither be possible to enter licenses in free text, it should be a dropdown menu only.

Remove duplicated text in license link in form

https://directory.fsf.org/wiki/IceCat#tab=Details

"License:MPLv2.0" should go to https://directory.fsf.org/wiki/License:MPLv2.0 not https://directory.fsf.org/wiki/License:License:MPLv2.0

 (which currently show https://directory.fsf.org/wiki?title=License:License:MPLv2.0&action=edit&redlink=1 as the page have not been created as it is not valid).

Please check if other licenses in the list are affected as well.

Steps to reproduce:

• Go to a FSD entry. Example https://directory.fsf.org/wiki/IceCat
• Click Edit -> Licenses. Click "Add another" and select "License: MPLv2.0"
• Save the page
• Go to https://directory.fsf.org/wiki/IceCat#tab=Details which now show "License:MPLv2.0" instead of "MPLv2.0"

License notes

I added this to https://directory.fsf.org/wiki?title=UBlock_Origin&action=formedit#tab=3__Licenses

https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/blob/master/LICENSE.txt Addendum: Some of the 3rd-party filters (simple data files) in this software are under non-free licenses. However, it is not clear that the works in question are actually subject to copyright or that the licensing terms could apply. As such, we urge you to use redistribute those filters with caution that someone may try to claim copyright on the works.

However, this message did not appear in https://directory.fsf.org/wiki/UBlock_Origin#tab=Details

Obsoleted

Should I delete all page entries for add-ons listed in https://directory.fsf.org/wiki/Free_Software_Directory:IceCat_extensions_(proposed)#Obsoleted

Early issue - Remove duplicated entries

This was asked to sysadmin@fsf.org over one year ago:

The value of |Extension of= is displayed twice in some entries (one year ago perhaps 5 duplicated were displayed but John Sullivan and/or Joshua Gay managed to fix most of the duplicates either by himself or someone else). For example, "Add to Search Bar" appear twice there, but "Aardvark" appear only once.

The duplicates also affect lists that the entries are in, see this page for test purpose that I've set up: https://directory.fsf.org/wiki/IceCat

       > I contacted Joshua in March this year about this and he responded.

       > "I will look into this. I am not sure why the redirects are making it
       > show-up twice. It shouldn't. However fixing it is not a simple matter of
       > removing them -- it is a bug in the software."

    Please report the bug to sysadmin@gnu.org.

Bug tracker

AFAIK there are no pages on directory.fsf.org that deal with internal bugs and feedback and perhaps it should not: I vote for a dedicated bug tracker.

Meanwhile, we need to add the bug form seen at https://directory.fsf.org/wiki/User:Mattl to Free_Software_Directory:IceCat_extensions_(proposed) but it is not simple and just copy the code. What is missing?

Invalid HTML

The IceCat entry in the FSD is not valid.

https://validator.w3.org/check?uri=https%3A%2F%2Fdirectory.fsf.org%2Fwiki%2FIceCat&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&group=0

84 errors was discovered. Can you please work to make the wiki valid?

I found out that IceCat add-ons like Snap Links Plus cannot be used to open multiple links for example. I really need it to work to work effectively.

Free_Software_Directory:Requirements

From https://directory.fsf.org/wiki/Free_Software_Directory_talk:Requirements I think this should be added to the page:

• Click on "Create account" at top right in this wiki to create a Free Software Foundation Central Login Username. Log in.
• Adding a description at you profile page is optional but not doing so might trick people that your user is inactive as your link text will remain red.
