Hi Obrand - that looks like a pretty good structure.
From my editing experience I find that by first writing / fixing the content, this lends itself to the obvious structure that is needed afterwards, as well as obvious holes in material that need more references or other fixes.
I look forward to seeing it! 
Wow, that were quite a few required fixes…
Done.
1. Fixed DoNot page so it has some structure (was a mess of bullet points before).
2. Re: Special:Log/newusers
I gather it is fair to assume that a large proportion of these accounts are bogus, soon-to-be-used-for-spam accounts if they have zero contribs and have never said squat in forums.
I wonder if Whonix should be proactive and auto-delete accounts, say older than 12 months, that have never been active in any shape or form for either wiki or forum contributions.
For instance, in that 1st page stretching back to late 2016, I see maybe 38/50 accounts that fall into that category.
3. Will try and sort out this gpg fingerprint page next (when I have some time).
I would think that many account where set up and forgotten about. It should also be considered that some forum members have accounts set up to email threads/posts from categories they are interested in i.e. Qubes-Whonix, KVM etc. Just because they are not active does not indicate they are not benefiting or being educated from forum posts. Is also should be considered some members have backup accounts. For example I recently used mine to post some comments in the “Why Facebook is Cancer” thread.

If they are bots, they managed to circumvent the registration process
spam protections but then failed to circumvent the spam posting protections.
Since registration spam protections haven’t been improved, it is fair to
assume they could create new accounts any time. Since it’s mostly
programs running, that failed, I think these are just database slug and
now inactive. Therefore I am not convinced the effort to get rid of
those would help to prevent future spam.

Could anyone help me to review it please?
TODO:
Open_/usr/local/etc/torrc.d/50_user.conf please? To be more specific, the template should be used as {{Open_/usr/local/etc/torrc.d/50_user.conf}}Open_/etc/tor/torrc to the new template.{{mbox

Please be aware that Whonix will not modify the /usr/local/etc/torrc.d/50_user.conf once it is created, which means you are fully responsible for adding and removing configurations in it.

My personal experience with editing Whonix Wiki is not perfect:
Therefore, I would like to say thank you from my heart to everyone who has been contributing to the Wiki.
Thank you for the great effort and work!!
Hi iry
I can relate to that. I’m currently editing/rewriting Leak Protection and its taking a little longer than I originally had hoped. Its mostly monkey-see-monkey-do , I see the syntax used in other wiki pages to get a desired result, I do the same. Plus I’m not as experienced as most of the regular wiki contributors (whonix/anonymity wise) so I have to research to make sure the content is correct which takes even more time. Its something I am enjoying doing though. I will say I have a new found respect for past and present wiki editors. Its not easy.
Reviewed.
Created. I just put a “.” in there. Enter the text you like and I’ll edit it later on for wording.
I bursted out laughing when seeing this cause I can totally related to that.
Me, too!
I’m going to work my through all the pages in the main ToC and standardize at the bottom as follows (unless there are complaints about it, or reasons not to. Already done a few.):
= Footnotes =
= License =
{{License_Amnesia|{{FULLPAGENAME}}}}
{{Footer}}
[[Category:Documentation]] [[Category:Design]] etc.
I haven’t gone crazy yet, because I want to check that the new license should be on every page. Obviously the only time the new Encrypted Support LP license wouldn’t be used is when it’s stuff borrowed from elsewhere e.g. JonDos and so on.
BTW “Footnotes” section is technically better than “References” because the former can include citations and general explanatory notes, while the latter is technically only meant to include citations.
PS the [[Warning]] page I’m sure is an old published version.
I’m sure I fixed it more than a year or 18 months ago? Can you check please if there is a contemporary version available i.e. clean English and updated? I don’t (won’t) wanna edit things twice over from scratch, as it is very laborious.
We should probably also add a “Maintainer” insert on every main page and if its not allocated to someone (the majority of pages in existence), then it could just list “Whonix team” as the owner.
It defaults to Whonix team. So I rather not add it everywhere to keep the pages short.
Maintainer template: It’s only few (for now) a few pages where the author (or a subset team) has the sole responsibility. A disclaimer. For content that is good to have, shouldn’t be refused, but too complex to be thoroughly checked.
The maintainer template is also very badly presented. Example:
Nymservers
About this Nymservers Page
Support Status stable
Difficulty medium
Maintainer HulaHoop
Support SupportContents
[hide]
Tons of white space everywhere. The user has to scroll a lot until the actual page starts. First impression is “wtf is this about”. If we had some proper website style it may be different.
All pages:
{{License_Amnesia|{{FULLPAGENAME}}}} is for wiki pages where content was imported from the Tails website only. Amnesia is the name Tails used in their copyright files. This long message is to be 100% compliant with GPL. Therefore,Comparison of different variants: Difference between revisions - Whonix
doesn’t make sense.
The bridges page is such as case. It has the copyright on top of the wiki page as a html comment so anyone reading the html content could read it.

Additionally it has a volunteer (not required by law) comment which was a friendly and useful suggestion by intrigeri years ago.

This wiki page is a fork of the Tails Tor Bridge Mode page, from this exact source <http://git.immerda.ch/?p=amnesia.git;a=blob;f=wiki/src/doc/first_steps/startup_options/bridge_mode.mdwn;hb=b4c1868fc9d59b6a1cb6d0e956ece5c92059c653>.

{{License_Amnesia|{{FULLPAGENAME}}}} at the bottom of that page is mandatory by GPL as far as I understood years ago. The GPL forked program has to show a copyright notice. The website is the “program” here. Perhaps my understanding could be revisited and upgraded. Perhaps even a shorter acknowledgement (click to expand or link or so) would be acceptable by law. The discussion could be rehashed with the Tails developers.
For wiki pages without any third party content, Template:Footer - Whonix is sufficient. That is what there isn’t a ENCRYPTED SUPPORT LP license template.
Will fix.
Sure. No worries. Everything is in the wiki history.
OK - didn’t realize all that! Reject all those edits then from today. Thanks re: apparmor stuff too - giving me a real schooling lately 
Busy next few weeks, so will have limited editing time. Should be better in March…
Nice you have set up bank payment options for various currencies/countries too for Whonix. Good move. 
Updated Release notes re:
Please add any other recent fixes I missed.
Hi torjunkie
I should be finished with “Leak Protection” today. I have a couple questions though.
Webcitation should stay. It is in case the original goes offline.
Original should stay since well, it’s the original and webcitation might go offline.
Done, warning page fixed.
Done!
https://www.whonix.org/w/index.php?title=Security_in_Real_World&oldid=33081&diff=cur
I had most of the formatting done so I couldn’t do this.
I tried to write the page so it would be easy for non-geeks to understand. (The reason for the Hypervisor analogy and the “User Mistakes” Alice example at the end). I didn’t put any links to wiki/tunnels because I thought it would take away from what example was about i.e. user mistakes not VPNs.
Hope the edits are OK. Please let me know if anything I need re-write/edit. Also any feed back (areas I need to improve) would be appreciated!
