Talk:Initramfs/Guide

Merge this article with parent Initramfs article
The article covers general information and has duplicated information on another articles (Dracut, Genkernel, Initramfs). Here, the information don't give added value. Therefore, I propose we merged this article with the Initramfs article. The quality will be improved because the information will be factored and it will better for both readers and contributors (less hyperlinks, informations, easier for updates, clearer reading). You can view the merge I did, on this page: https://wiki.gentoo.org/index.php?title=Initramfs&oldid=577024.

 * Hi Feng, I can see why you'd want to do something like this, however I'm okay with having a guide article present as well (this "Guide" article was been migrated from the Initramfs HOWTO that was maintained by the old Gentoo Documentation team. There are several other Guide sub-articles present on the wiki. I did some work in the past to rename these articles to the title of "Guide" instead of "HOWTO". I view the parent Initramfs article as a meta article (like a virtual) that is used to point readers to more information... With that being said, I would definitely be on board with cleaning this article up a bit (like removing the duplicate Genkernel and other parts). --Maffblaster (talk) 17:47, 21 February 2017 (UTC)
