Need a new redirect tag for macOS
[edit]The software, macOS, is now onto version 11. So it shouldn't be called OSX anymore, X letter meaning the older version 10. So there should be a new redirect tag leading to this macOS page. Is the word "macOS" okay, or is it 1-2 digits too long? ObiKKa (talk) 06:17, 17 April 2024 (UTC)
- What do you mean by a "redirect tag"? Mac OS X, OS X, and OSX all redirect to macOS, and have done so for quite a while, given that the OS has been called "macOS" ever since macOS 10.12 Sierra, several years before macOS 11 Big Sur. Guy Harris (talk) 06:56, 17 April 2024 (UTC)
Unreadable header image resolution
[edit]I severely doubt Apple is going to sue Wikipedia for a screenshot of their operating system, considering screenshots/videos of macOS and iOS have appeared in thousands of places across all media types, including media made with profit in mind. I'm not sure why we're stuck with pictures that are lower resolution than computers from the 90s. This has been enacted across all pages related to macOS, destroying what used to be very pretty and readable pictures. This also clutters Google images. Machintosh-hd (talk) 01:31, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
- Because Wikipedia follows Wikipedia:Non-free content criteria. - Aoidh (talk) 02:50, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
capitalization at article beginning
[edit]The first word of a sentence is always capitalized even if the particular word isn't always--dchmelik☀️🦉🐝🐍(talk|contrib) 04:52, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
- Per Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Capital letters that is primarily true, though exceptions exist and per MOS:TMCAPS this seems to be one of them. - Aoidh (talk) 16:13, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
Build number for latest macOS Sonoma is incorrect
[edit]The build number found in Template:MacOS versions at the column "Most recent version" in the "macOS 14" row is incorrect. It should be "23G80" instead of the existing "23F80". Please see https://developer.apple.com/news/releases/?id=07232024d Lalov001 (talk) 00:25, 1 August 2024 (UTC)
- Fixed in this edit. Guy Harris (talk) 20:46, 3 August 2024 (UTC)
Timeline Old, Older, Latest seems confusing
[edit]The table Timeline of releases has a color code key that uses pink for Old Version, and yellow for Older version, yet the "Older versions" are newer than the "Old version".
I am pretty sure the intent of "Older version" is "older relative to "Latest". Perhaps this would be better called "Recently superseded but still maintained.".
Gwideman (talk) 01:12, 27 August 2024 (UTC)
- Yes, the wording is confusing.
- However, that table is produced by the {{Version}} template; changes to the labels for the colors would have to be made there, and would affect many other pages that use that template as well, so this issue should be discussed at Template talk:Version, not here. Guy Harris (talk) 20:20, 27 August 2024 (UTC)
- See Template talk:Version § "Old" versions are usually older than "Older" versions. Guy Harris (talk) 20:27, 27 August 2024 (UTC)
- I just changed the template to use "Old" for both. Guy Harris (talk) 22:03, 16 September 2024 (UTC)
