	== アイデアと提案 ==		== アイデアと提案 ==

	=== OpenID ===
	Implement an [https://openid.net/ OpenID]-like identity system for the official Arch Linux websites.

	* If we could integrate login/pass throughout AUR, Wiki, Forums, and Bugs this way ... well I'm afraid I would get a bit moist. :) <br> [[User:Georgia tech swagger\|georgia_tech_swagger]]
	* Might also consider Mozilla Persona[https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/persona/]{{Dead link\|2021\|05\|17\|status=404}}, which should be easier to implement than full blown openID.

	I completely agree with this idea. I dreamed this since registration. Is it possible to implement? Also, it would be great that it would be possible to login to external arch wikis. — [[User:Agent0\|Agent0]] ([[User talk:Agent0\|talk]]\|[[Special:Contributions/Agent0\|contribs]]) 11:12, 22 July 2015 (UTC)

	=== Developer/Fellows profiles ===
	Condense the developer profiles pages, reducing photo sizes and dropping relatively unimportant fields such as: Favourite Distros, Year of Birth, Interests, Other Contacts, etc.

	* I do not like this idea. I like any distro that has a soul and flavor to it. Sterile "strictly-business" design and community should be left to the Wall Street distros. <br> [[User:Georgia tech swagger\|georgia_tech_swagger]]

	=== Navbar for internal Arch sites ===
	Look at the feasibility of creating a unified navbar that would sit at the top of all Arch community sites (bbs.archlinux, wiki.archlinux, etc.), providing an exact copy of the main website hierarchy via drop-down menus (using CSS of course).

	:The current navbar ''is'' unified. What hierarchy would you propose for the drop-down menus? -- [[User:Lahwaacz\|Lahwaacz]] ([[User talk:Lahwaacz\|talk]]) 19:37, 13 December 2019 (UTC)

	=== URI Linking ===
	Implement a pacman:// URI as an option to quickly let users quickly install packages from webpages and same the functionality for AUR packages. [[User:9mmtylenol\|9mmtylenol]]
	:I think it is easy to implement. It is very similar to [https://wiki.debian.org/AptProtocol apt urls]. It is even possible to install several packages [https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptURL#Use_of_apturl at once]. But what is the difference in using such ''apt:vlc'' links from such ''apt://vlc'' ? — [[User:Agent0\|Agent0]] ([[User talk:Agent0\|talk]]\|[[Special:Contributions/Agent0\|contribs]]) 16:10, 28 July 2015 (UTC)

	=== Focus in Search ===
	Is it possible to make ArchWiki to automatically focus on search box? It is common behavior. Look for example to [https://youtube.com youtube] or [https://wikipedia.org wikipedia]. I feel uncomfortable, when I go to wiki.archlinux.org and additionally need to use mouse to focus on search field. I know about {{ic\|Alt + Shift + f}}, but it is not working, because alt+shift changes keyboard layout. — [[User:Agent0\|Agent0]] ([[User talk:Agent0\|talk]]\|[[Special:Contributions/Agent0\|contribs]]) 12:29, 17 November 2015 (UTC)
	:On HTML5 you just have to add the "autofocus" attribute to the input (in this case the element with id="searchInput"). -- '''nucularJohn'''

	:It does not seem possible with MediaWiki. Also https://en.wikipedia.org/ behaves the same (i.e. it does not have autofocus). -- [[User:Lahwaacz\|Lahwaacz]] ([[User talk:Lahwaacz\|talk]]) 18:38, 27 April 2021 (UTC)

	=== Direct package links by name ===

	On the ArchWiki we can only link to packages using the package search, for example {{Pkg\|pacman}} links to https://archlinux.org/packages/?name=pacman, requiring the reader to always click twice to get to a package page. It would be nice if there were another argument like {{ic\|direct}} to directly take you to the respective package.

	--[[User:Larivact\|Larivact]] ([[User talk:Larivact\|talk]]) 14:06, 4 November 2018 (UTC)

	:Packages can exist in multiple repositories, and formerly, in multiple architectures. This is why we never did this. Do you have a suggestion for figuring out which package it refers to? -- [[User:Eschwartz\|Eschwartz]] ([[User talk:Eschwartz\|talk]]) 01:35, 11 November 2018 (UTC)

	::Redirect to a stable package with the given name if it exists, otherwise return a 404. Exemplary URL:

	::https://archlinux.org/packages/?stable_by_name=pacman

	::--[[User:Larivact\|Larivact]] ([[User talk:Larivact\|talk]]) 06:47, 11 November 2018 (UTC)

	::Figuring out if a pkgname is unique or not is very easy [https://github.com/archlinux/archweb/tree/master/main/models.py#L88 in SQL] - just {{ic\|1=SELECT pkgname, repo, arch FROM Package WHERE pkgname = ?}} and if you get just 1 result, you can show the package view, otherwise you have to show the package search view. -- [[User:Lahwaacz\|Lahwaacz]] ([[User talk:Lahwaacz\|talk]]) 08:30, 11 November 2018 (UTC)

	:::I think you misunderstood, this is not about changing the search to redirect if there is only one result, this is about introducing a new API specifically for [[Template:Pkg]]. We only link packages in the stable repositories, where pkgnames should be unique, so we can do:
	::::{{ic\|1=SELECT pkgname, repo FROM packages INNER JOIN repos ON repo=packages.id WHERE pkgname = ? AND testing = false AND staging = false}}
	:::--[[User:Larivact\|Larivact]] ([[User talk:Larivact\|talk]]) 09:01, 11 November 2018 (UTC)

	::::The use of [[Template:Pkg]] is not limited to stable repositories, see e.g. [https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php?title=Thunderbolt&diff=583488&oldid=576452]. My query is simpler and it would not limit the template. -- [[User:Lahwaacz\|Lahwaacz]] ([[User talk:Lahwaacz\|talk]]) 19:28, 13 December 2019 (UTC)
