15h.org Wiki Review and Recommendations (2026/05/19 )

Most important and urgent issues:

  • Copyright status for the wiki content
    • The page for consents is here: 15h.org talk:Copyrights
    • DONE: Content license: agreed by me and others as CC‑BY‑SA 4.0 (between 18 and 19 May 2026, in the 15h.org Matrix chatroom[1])
    • DONE: The license should be clearly displayed at the page for Content License
    • DONE: A link from every Wiki page (at the page bottom) should point to the Content license
  • Privacy policy page is empty
  • Coreboot distributions list on coreboot org should link to our Wiki
  • Apparently, "history" is disabled for non-logged users on the entire Wiki.
    • It should be enabled to more easily comply with the CC‑BY‑SA 4.0
    • There is a problem with scrapers ... so wee need some kind of CAPTCHA challenge to stop them

Review:

Main problem with the Wiki:

  • Many pages that are heavily linked to do not exist, or have insufficiently detailed content.
  • Page categories are completely absent, while the website would obviously significantly benefit from categorizing pages. (Uncategorized pages list)
    • Ideas for categories:
      • Motherboards, CPU families, Sockets, Chipsets, Chips, Developer documentation
  • Missing links to parent pages: many pages are leaves; users must use the browser back button to navigate out. See "Dead end pages"
  • Orphaned pages: these pages should be linked better with other pages (list)
  • Leading paragraph templates: many are insufficiently detailed or are missing important items
  • Paragraphs are too long on many pages, especially the home page and Coreboot-15h
  • Default font size is 14px. That is way too small. 17px would be much better
  • Visually disproportional sizing on images
    • the main offender is "External Flashing" page
      • in most cases, images should be resized so that the text on the images is approximately slightly smaller than the body text
      • This issue may have to wait for the "Default font size" issue to be fixed first
        • Or, set all the image sizes relative to the body text size
  • The wiki is supposed to serve two different kinds of users: coreboot-15h developers, and end-users. But the content for them is usually intermixed within a single page.
    • the pages should be split into:
      • the pages primarily for coreboot-15h developers
      • the pages primarily for end-users
    • Also, see the next item
  • Pages are too long.
    • Content should not be deleted but split across several pages.
    • Replace moved content with short excerpts containing the most important points.
    • List of long pages by size in bytes
      • A better metric is the word count, but the list above is easier to generate
      • Pages from 10000 to 20000 bytes are somewhat too long
      • Pages over 20000 bytes are a major issue
  • Not enough "Overview" pages
  • Missing aggregated lists: not enough lists that group/combine items by useful criteria.


An example of such a badly organized page is this prominent page:


Even the main page could be improved, because:

  • The text on it is useful but too verbose and should be shortened.
  • The motherboard list takes up excessive space.
  • The top table is valuable, because it highlights the most useful links, and being first, reduces distraction from the large motherboard list below.
