Icons should serve a purpose other than solely decoration." and also 575:
No, that is not what I'm saying. I do think that software like GDebi, which is not significant to the distribution in any sense, should be removed from the template if obsoleted. What makes it relevant to Ubuntu history as a whole? Software gets replaced, and if the template were to list every piece

which says "Navigation templates are not arbitrarily decorative...There should be justification for a template to deviate from standard colors and styles". In both cases this mitigates against using logos and icons in nav boxes and in both cases requires justification of which none has been given.

In my opinion, software that is no longer in the distro should not be in the template. What is possibly significant or useful about including GDebi in the template, when it has been totally obsoleted by Ubuntu Software Center? Perhaps if it was a large part of the Ubuntu's history, or something to

Unofficial Derivative is far from neutral language and it only seems to come up on wikipedia in relation to Ubuntu. It's not mentioned that Ubuntu is an unofficial derivative of Debian or that Yellow Dog Linux is an unofficial derivative of Fedora. There is no requirement that a distro receive an

Thanks for the input, Chris. I think in this case it can be assumed that an article will be forthcoming very soon, since there are sufficient refs to create one and the editors who commonly work on the Ubuntu articles don't let much slip by. While normally the article is written first and then

these are hosted at Ubuntu, by Ubuntu, and are quite clearly internal. UbuntuStudio is doing package selection and is similar to Kubuntu or Xubuntu. It is not an external project. It is also not finished. That might be a reason to not include it but it certainly doesn't belong in the

The other factor is that I don't see any reason to provide free advertising on Knowledge in the form of nav box icons and logos, this is an encyclopedia, we aren't advertising products here and it makes it look like we are

I think we have a consensus that there is no reason to deviate from standard formatting for this nav box at this point in time. This can, of course, be revisited in the future, if a case is made. -

Gdebi has been an integral part of Ubuntu software management from the start until quite recently, but if you don't think it is justified leaving it on the list then go ahead and remove it again. -

Lubuntu is not yet an official derivative. On their website it says, "The lubuntu team aims to earn official endorsement from Canonical". As well, it is not listed on the Ubuntu derivatives page:

A lot of what Knowledge documents is history, many articles are nothing but history, and this template indicates all articles that have ties to the story of Ubuntu. By your argument

The "copland" link (first one of the "external" distribs) points to a disambiguation page, and I don't see any linux distro in the list.. What's up with that ?

In this case it is more than changing a font, it is creating a product logo out of a font and an an icon. I believe the guidelines are
