I did a general cleanup of the main text and added some more information about the way hackerspaces are run. It would be helpful to see more information about these things. --cayden (talk) 18:02, 19 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Additions to the list of Hackerspaces

A number of days ago I tried adding some other hackerspaces to the list. They were red links and I was unaware of the rule against that. I've also seen where someone tried to put external links in the list and that it's, also, against the rules. I have just added a hackerspace (Pumping Station One) to the list again. It is standard black text with a reference mark pointing to the "reference" section at the bottom of the page which then has the external link being referenced to. Is this correct? I have tried to find the official rules regarding lists, but have been unable to and no-one seems to have linked to them in any of the deletions thus far.

In example lists, we generally try to restrict the entries to just those that have an article already. Otherwise every relevant example would add themselves (The rule against this is WP:NOTDIR). In actual "List of ..." articles, the restrictions are a little more relaxed, and redlinks are sometimes encouraged. (WP:LISTS and WP:STAND are the relevant guidelines. However they are a bit unclear, and different editors agree/disagree with them to different extents. (It's a can of worms!))

In this particular case, the hackerspaces.org site hosts a comprehensive and uptodate list of hackerspaces, so rather than creating/maintaining our own "List of hackerspaces", we point to them for that role.

Hope that helps. I'll add a hidden-note to the article summarizing this. -- Quiddity (talk) 18:08, 6 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Iranian hacker space in Tehran is registered in http://hackerspaces.org/wiki/Iranian_hackerspace —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sasankamalifard (talk • contribs) 01:48, 24 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, and we point to hackerspaces.org in the external links section, especially/explicitly because it already compiles a comprehensive list. The list here is just for examples that we have entire articles about. Moreover, we do not include external links within articles. Please read the above discussion for background and further details. Thanks. -- Quiddity (talk) 04:15, 24 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
