@Dodi 8238: Hi ! You have replaced the three source code repositories with https://github.com/WhisperSystems alone. May I ask why you thought it would be better ? The reason for explicitly setting multiple repositories is to make these facts easily verifiable. If an editor or a bot is to research the source code for WhisperSystems, (s)he needs to research and understand which are current, which are obsolete and which are unrelated (https://github.com/WhisperSystems/maven for instance). Maybe this should be documented explicitly in https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_Informatics/FLOSS#source_code_repository ? Please let me know what you think :-) Dachary (talk) 15:08, 1 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Dachary. Thanks for pinging me. The reason I replaced the three source code repositories was because en:w:Template:Infobox software was recently modified so that it displays Wikidata's source code repository entries. You can see the result of having three entries here. I think it's cleaner to just link to https://github.com/WhisperSystems. Do you think this problem should be brought up on en:w:Template talk:Infobox software? --Dodi 8238 (talk) 15:47, 1 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Never mind! I see you've already brought it up in en:w:Template talk:Infobox software#Repository URL. --Dodi 8238 (talk) 16:05, 1 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Right, let's hope this is resolved at some point :-) Dachary (talk) 21:56, 2 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
