This is continuation of off-topic:
https://forum.lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php/topic,51093.msg375177.html#msg375177
First shot:
https://wiki.freepascal.org/Projects_using_Free_Pascal
Advice more than welcome.

Looks fine to me.
I notified Trev. He has done a lot on the wiki, and especially just lately lots of work on the Projects using Lazarus page.
So he should have a shout, if he wants to.
If the page goes ahead, I would suggest:
- copying your new content to https://wiki.freepascal.org/Projects_using_Lazarus
(You can do that, to keep credentials in the history)
- Deleting https://wiki.freepascal.org/Projects_using_fpc
- Moving (with redirect) the Projects_using_Lazarus to Projects_using_fpc
Those steps, will ensure that the history of the original page is kept. Only fair to earlier contributors.
Maybe make it Projects_using_Free_Pascal ?

Nice that it is ok for you.
Trev is the creator of Projects_using_Lazarus and of course his advice is law.
Projects_using_fpc is more a demo and can be deleted, I did not touch to Trev code.
Maybe make it Projects_using_Free_Pascal ?
Yes much more beautiful than Projects_using_fpc (but more keys to use ;))

Done:

(But I wait for the green light of Trev to append new projects)

Great work Fred - I've already emailed you regarding the Wiki changes I made to the new pages before seeing this thread to which Martin alerted me.
While the "Projects using Lazarus" pages all obviously also use FPC, I can see the usefulness of also having a meta page of "Projects using Free Pascal". Unless there are any serious objections I'm more than happy to leave the two meta project pages to co-exist so long as we don't end up with any significant duplication (the LCL category in the meta FPC page is fine).
Anyone else have a view?

Not right. I just curated much of the existing content and removed dead links or updated the links when G-o-o-g-l-e could find them and tried to make the material consistent in its presentation.
Nor is my advice law, although that does appeal to the lawyer in me :) It's a Wiki folks. Expect to have your contribution(s) edited. My contributions are no different to yours.

Well, I think one should be a redirect to the Other.
Technically Lazarus is a subset, but if a user wants to look at this sort of info, they would probably expect to see the full content.
So I still advice the idea from my previous post. (merge, move, redirect)
-
Agreed Martin. I've mailed Fred.

Hello Trev, hello Martin.
OK, I agree too and can do it but maybe Trev want to do it.
So I will wait for your wishes.

Go ahead Fred.

Go ahead Fred.
Aaargh, not sure it was a good idea.
What I did:
1) Update "Projects_using_Lazarus"
https://wiki.freepascal.org/Projects_using_Lazarus
2) Move "Projects_using_Free_Pascal" to "Projects_using_fpc" (to try to make "Projects_using_Free_Pascal" unused).
https://wiki.freepascal.org/Projects_using_fpc
3) Move "Projects_using_Lazarus" to "Projects_using_Free_Pascal"
But here error:
You do not have permission to move this page, for the following reason:
A page of that name already exists, or the name you have chosen is not valid. Please choose another name.
I dont understand why, "Projects_using_Free_Pascal" should not exist anymore and was moved to "Projects_using_fpc".

I'll sort it...

Ok
Main page is now (with history of the old page):
https://wiki.freepascal.org/Projects_using_Free_Pascal
The old page redirects
https://wiki.freepascal.org/index.php?title=Projects_using_Lazarus
https://wiki.freepascal.org/index.php?title=Projects_using_Lazarus&redirect=no
I moved the previous data too https://wiki.freepascal.org/OLD_Projects_using_Free_Pascal
And deleted it there. If the history of that is needed, it can be restored (by an admin) in that dummy location.
and
https://wiki.freepascal.org/index.php?title=Projects_using_fpc
https://wiki.freepascal.org/index.php?title=Projects_using_fpc&redirect=no
is a redirect too.
Not sure if we should keep.

[…] I dont understand why, "Projects_using_Free_Pascal" should not exist anymore and was moved to "Projects_using_fpc". […]
And I don’t understand, why the main page is now Projects using Free Pascal (https://wiki.freepascal.org/Projects_using_Free_Pascal).
To me, “Free Pascal” refers to {$mode objFPC}, the dialect, compiler compatibility mode that virtually enables all features FPC supports.
I think, Projects using FPC (https://wiki.freepascal.org/Projects_using_FPC) (the Free Pascal Compiler [which also supports non-Free Pascal dialects]) would be the correct title, since there are certainly projects listed in Projects using Free Pascal (https://wiki.freepascal.org/Projects_using_Free_Pascal) that compile (exclusively) in other dialects, such as Delphi ({$mode Delphi}).

Hello Martin.
It seems that all the history of previous change are saved.
But maybe I miss something.

Hum...
In https://www.freepascal.org/
There is:
Free Pascal is a mature, versatile, open source Pascal compiler.
So, imho, https://wiki.freepascal.org/Projects_using_Free_Pascal is ok.

Hi everybody,
can I add an entry about a my open source software (https://github.com/salvadorbs/Asuite), recently made in Lazarus?

Of course, please go ahead and add an entry!
-
Done: https://wiki.freepascal.org/Projects_using_Lazarus_-_User_utilities#ASuite. Thank you very much!
-
I see there is only one Console project!? :o
I am not sure if I want to add an entry for both of my TXT2PDF converter and HTM2TXT extractor... because my program is very small. Any advice?
(Currently both are on GitHub)
-
I think you should add them !
In another current thread is a question about why there are so few FPC/Lazarus projects, we need to make more noise !

Thank you for your encouragement.
I have already added them:

(Please feel free to edit my changes to wiki)

Nice!
