Hi.
Regarding edit #606706931:
Best regards,

I'm not exactly sure what this navbar accomplishes. In the present state, it's a rather large unfocused and sprawling thing which serves mainly to link all articles somehow connected to KDE. This includes some which are, from a user's perspective, clearly KDE-ish, some relevant only to developers (the various libraries that make up the KDE frameworks), some unrelated projects that form the basis of KDE when running on top of unixoid OSes (say X.org, Freedesktop stuff), and tons of articles on various small goodies that come with KDE, are built on top of Qt/KDE, or have some other vague relation to KDE.
In my opinion, we should restrict the contents of the navbox to articles which are 1) notable enough such that they're well-maintained and there's actually stuff to write about and 2) have a clear connection to KDE in that they're considered to be part of the core of KDE and what defines KDE. This obviously excludes Freedesktop etc., which are important foundations but not specific to KDE (should be discussed in the KDE article, not the navbar), and also excludes minor apps such as Kanagramm, which are important in their own right, are part of the KDE ecosystem, but are not what defines KDE (this is what categories are for). So in my opinion, the navbox should focus on KDE integration technologies, very major KDE apps which high user awareness, and core components of the KDE desktop.
Please discuss, I'd rather not make sweeping changes without feedback. Have a happy new year. Marquenterre ( talk) 12:11, 31 December 2017 (UTC)
