Wiki - Lazarus Application Gallery / Projects using Lazarus

[wp]

Why is "Application Gallery" deleted, rather than being a redirect?

Its linked from outside the wiki. It must work in some way.

To be more specific: the link on the Lazarus main page (https://www.lazarus-ide.org/) to "Application Gallery" is not working any more.

When browsing the Internet I found UniSklad

It seems good, maybe it can be added on Business Software category.

Even Including the multiple (now deleted) references on the wiki, the total number of links is 32 and that also includes links from websites that no longer exist or are junk websites. That's why I deleted the page. Nobody expects web links to last forever or that they never have to be updated.

Anyway, the point is now moot, a redirect has been created.

Surely it would be more sensible to update that link to point to the Projects using Lazarus page than perpetuate a redirect.

This morning I also merged the rather anaemic "FPC Applications/Projects Gallery" contents of 13 entries with the Projects using Lazarus page and category sub-pages.

I should also mention that I deleted the page in case anyone feels strongly about adding a redirect. It had 11 external links to it.

There are stackoverflow, quora and forum links to it.

There is no harm in helping people to find that content in future. After all the content was not deleted, just moved.

Thank you for your work.

We could append PeaZip (maybe it is already there but I didn't see it).

Another interesting software that I have discovered: LazPlan.

Best regards.

Thank you trev for the effort you put into the wiki.  Once entropy has accumulated it requires quite a bit of work to reverse the effects.

There is no problem with adding additional applications provided that their creators do not mind. However, I would not presume such consent without first asking.

More generally, if anyone wants to add an application, it's a Wiki folks. Please feel free to do so yourself. I have a growing backlog of material to add once I've beaten it into shape. Editing others material is always much easier
