During the translation and adaptation of the links of the "Main Page" Portal in Italian, I noticed that all links of the "mailing lists" of FPC are directed to the same web page "https://www.freepascal.org/maillist.html".
Is it preferable to maintain this feature even in translation?
IMHO, listing all available mail lists is a good point (it helps people to quickly identify if there is a suitable mail list.
If needs must, it could be a single link, followed by a none linking enumeration. But I see no advantage.
The 2 CCR lists have been combined. But that is because they both have hardly any traffic at all.
I would like to add a video tutorial that explains how to edit mediawiki pages.
This <How to Edit a Wikipedia Article> for wikipedia, I think it's suitable.
If we add more links, I think they should go to a new page. I.e., we would have - on our wiki - our own page "how to edit the wiki", and from there any link could be added (this can be a link collection, or have added content, such as common templates used on our wiki).
On the main page, external links (to pages not by fpc/laz) should be kept as few as possible. They can change, be outdated, blocked .... While that applies too if the link is on any other wiki page, the main page should avoid the danger of "dead links".
Especially as we do not know how maintenance will work in future (as we know, in the past, the page was not updated for a long time / and ended up with quite a few dead links). This is especially true for the English main page, which due to being protected, will only be updated by few people.
