Linux[edit]

Hi. I accepted your edit, because I agree that the version I had reverted to was wrong and kernel.org appears to be better than any other obvious contender. Thanks!

But I have a question. Given that your edit only *adds* a website= line, where did the old value come from? I am editing on a phone, which is not up to the search; maybe you can do better? Nick Levine (talk) 07:27, 31 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello,
It appears that the old value was from Wikidata[1].
So I suppose there is a bug when Wikipedia automatically sources the 'official website' from Wikidata into the infobox, if there are multiple values.
In addition, it seems that it was decided to remove the 'official website' altogether in this edit[2]. Though it appears that even then[3] Wikipedia automatically sourced it from Wikidata as well.
