Early issue - Remove duplicated entries

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

    This is important: To remove the bunch of random duplicated redirects in the official
    FSD repo for IceCat (https://directory.fsf.org/wiki/IceCat)


    For example, "Add to Search Bar" appear twice there, but "Aardvark" appear only once, despite that both have "IceCat/Add to Search Bar" and "IceCat/Aardvark"



       > 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 tosysadmin@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.

Invalind 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.

License list

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

All license _must_ be listed. Example:

• 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.

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"

How to list incomplete software

I don't know how to to ask for empty values, please help me.

{{#ask:
[[Name::+]]
License = EMPTY
or License copyright = EMPTY
or License verified = EMPTY
or License verified date = EMPTY
}}

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.
