Non breaking hyphen
Hi, I attempted to use the non-breaking hyphen template in the right column at Oberon/System_Variants#OberonExt. Not displayed as hyphen. Can that be corrected? Thx, ... PeterEasthope (discuss • contribs) 19:57, 8 November 2022 (UTC)


 * Peter, you initially included  at the beginning, which creates a link to the English-language Wikipedia. We cannot transclude templates from other projects here, so I've just copied and pasted a local version at Template:non-breaking hyphen. Please check the page now and tell me if it meets your needs. —Justin ( koavf ) ❤T☮C☺M☯ 21:29, 8 November 2022 (UTC)

Apply for Funding through the Movement Strategy Community Engagement Package to Support Your Community
The Wikimedia Movement Strategy implementation is a collaborative effort for all Wikimedians. Movement Strategy Implementation Grants support projects that take the current state of a Movement Strategy Initiative and push it one step forward. If you are looking for an example or some guide on how to engage your community further on Movement Strategy and the Movement Strategy Implementation Grants specifically, you may find this community engagement package helpful.

The goal of this community engagement package is to support more people to access the funding they might need for the implementation work. By becoming a recipient of this grant, you will be able to support other community members to develop further grant applications that fit with your local contexts to benefit your own communities. With this package, the hope is to break down language barriers and to ensure community members have needed information on Movement Strategy to connect with each other. Movement Strategy is a two-way exchange, we can always learn more from the experiences and knowledge of Wikimedians everywhere. We can train and support our peers by using this package, so more people can make use of this great funding opportunity.

If this information interests you or if you have any further thoughts or questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to us as your regional facilitators to discuss further. We will be more than happy to support you. When you are ready, follow the steps on this page to apply. We look forward to receiving your application.

Best regards,

Movement Strategy and Governance Team

Comments requested for a project
I was planning to write a lengthy, detailed, post/article abut the creation of persistent external drives for Linux Mint Cinnamon 21. Would this be a suitable Wiki site to do this? Are there any such existing projects that I could look at? Comments are most appreciated.Ineuw (discuss • contribs) 00:44, 19 November 2022 (UTC)


 * Hello! Could you perhaps give an outline of what you think this book/chapter would look like and consist of? Depending on your vision, it could be appropriate as a chapter/section of an existing book or it might warrant creation of its own book. You can find more info about what kind of content Wikibooks includes at What is Wikibooks?. Cheers! – Kittycataclysm (discuss • contribs) 16:49, 19 November 2022 (UTC)


 * Kittycataclysm Thanks for your reply. This is intended as a step by step chapter/guide, in which each step includes the considerations which led me to decide, after testing alternatives. I was thinking that the main body of text is the step by step instructions and my considerations & comments would be in numbered footnotes, or chapter end notes. I am familiar with the wiki language. My ideas are flexible. Could you point me somewhere to look for anything that's similar, or related, that I can study? Ineuw (discuss • contribs) 11:42, 23 November 2022 (UTC)
 * It looks like there is a list of some books on the subject of Linux. I am not familiar with them, but you may find a book for which it would be appropriate to add your chapter. You'll want to make sure you follow any style/content guides for the book you end up selecting. —Kittycataclysm (discuss • contribs) 21:44, 23 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Apologies, for some reason I am not getting your replies by email. I will check my global email settings. I looked at those entries, but must examine them more closely because of the intended target audience. Thanks again.Ineuw (discuss • contribs) 03:51, 27 November 2022 (UTC)

just started guide, any suggestions? Thanks. Maxi9090 (discuss • contribs) 20:05, 15 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Hello, ! You could start by adding a table of contents with links to pages of the book, maybe saying what you do in the game, where it takes place (Russia presumably, based on the name), and a walkthrough on beating the story. Also, the name "james bond" in familiar... Where have I heard it from? I forgot... Dunno why Indiana Jones comes to mind when I say James Bond, but whatever. xD 22:01, 15 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Oh now I remember. I watched it from a few old DVDs my dad once had. 22:03, 15 November 2022 (UTC)
