Split per unanimous support Trialpears (talk) 15:28, 27 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The two senses of self-hosting suggested in the article do not seem to be related. I suggest replacing this with a disambiguation and splitting to Self-hosting (compilers) (which would match the title style of Bootstrapping (compilers)) and Self-hosting (web services). Please also suggest alternate article titles. —Theodore Kloba (☎) 19:08, 3 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, these two topics do not have anything to do with each other except for computers. They should most definitely be split. – Hamuko (talk) 19:45, 5 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Agree The new titles look good to me. —Franklin Yu (talk) 15:43, 15 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Agree Except that one of the articles will be a stub unless someone has anything substantial to write on it. Rp (talk) 19:04, 2 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Agree This really is necessary to avoid confusion. -Kristbaum (talk) 18:46, 20 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Agree except that I'm not sure web services is the right term to use - it has a technical, more specific meaning, which can lead to confusion. Why not (web applications) ? Rp (talk)

Agree Although I prefer the term "web services" while noting that non-web services my also be self-hosted, FTP servers for instance. But that latter point could be treated as a special case within the new article because these non-web services are becoming increasingly uncommon. HTH.

Tagging @77.173.90.33: who requested the closure. Trialpears (talk) 15:29, 27 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Now that this is a dab page

...there should be no links to this page, but there are many. Would someone who understands this stuff please disambiguate the incoming links? One of the best tools is DisamAssist. Pinging those who took part in the split discussion: @RobbieIanMorrison, Kristbaum, Rp, Franklin Yu, Hamuko, and Theodore Kloba:

I’ve also left a talkback for 77.173.90.33.

Thanks! — Gorthian (talk) 19:10, 28 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Just to note that I simply voiced an opinion and know nothing about incoming links. RobbieIanMorrison (talk) 19:28, 28 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Done, I think. @Gorthian: Thanks for suggesting DisamAssist.—Theodore Kloba (☎) 20:00, 28 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It’s a great tool. But I still see between 50 and 100 articles linking to this page...? Are you in the midst of doing them?

I’d do it myself, but you REALLY don’t want amateurs fixing links to these articles. ;-) — Gorthian (talk) 20:05, 28 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I only fixed the ones in article namespace. Is it necessary to correct the ones in User and Talk spaces?—Theodore Kloba (☎) 20:49, 28 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The link is invalid, but I got that you meant Pages that link to "Self-hosting". Currently the list is almost empty so I guess it's done. --Franklin Yu (talk) 00:38, 29 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I had to run off for most the day. I must have failed to purge the page I tried to link to; everything’s done now (yes, only in article space). Thank you, Theodore Kloba, for taking care of them! — Gorthian (talk) 04:13, 29 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like I'm late to the party. Only Self-hosting, Self-hosted, User pages and Talk pages link to this page now. Rp (talk) 07:42, 6 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
