Visual C++ Runtime article
Hey guys, I've created new http://wiki.osdev.org/Visual_C++_Runtime article. It would be cool if those who have access to main page could add a link to it under Visual C/C++ in Tools/Compilers section.

The main pages are only protected to prevent people from doing stupid things - the content is stored elsewhere and can be edited with the regular permissions. In this case you'll probably want to edit http://wiki.osdev.org/Template:Main2/Tools

Can the protection be turned off? http://wiki.osdev.org/Expanded_Main_Page should be moved to http://wiki.osdev.org/Main_Page --- it's annoying and unprofessional to have the start page display a redirection notice.

Re: Visual C++ Runtime article
You mentioned it just once 13 months ago, and those thirteen months proved you couldn't really be bothered.
See it from a technical viewpoint: maintaining Main Page as a link requires the least amount of updates when the choice of index page changes.

Oops, I must've missed your reply---this thread reminded me of the issue. No, I didn't make a big fuss about it as it's not really a big problem, only a bit annoying. I think "couldn't be bothered" is too strong a choice of words, though; it's not like I haven't contributed to the wiki in the meantime (and by that I don't mean the little catfight I had with Solar and youCombuster wrote:You mentioned it just once 13 months ago, and those thirteen months proved you couldn't really be bothered.

The main page doesn't change very often (it has happened only once in 11 years, AFAIK) and when it does, it's not much work to update the link.Combuster wrote:See it from a technical viewpoint: maintaining Main Page as a link requires the least amount of updates when the choice of index page changes.
