Welcome to BetaWiki, Newuserpl!

We hope you enjoy your time here and add information to the wiki.

If you have any questions contact an admin on their Talk page. Also make sure that you read our Guidelines!

Please see Guidelines § Things to avoid, mentions that a build is the "first XXX build" should be avoided because they're misleading and false, and usually also unnecessary. --Ryuzaki (talk | contribs) 20:31, 14 February 2025 (UTC)

Why is it false? It is clearly first on the list. And some pages feature it and some don't already. Newuserpl2 (talk) 20:32, 14 February 2025 (UTC)

It is on the list, but we don't know if its actually the first Mainnn (talk) 20:33, 14 February 2025 (UTC)

However for example windows 8.1 build 9255 page has it Newuserpl2 (talk) 20:34, 14 February 2025 (UTC)

It is first on the list of known builds, doesn't necessary mean there are no builds before it --Ryuzaki (talk | contribs) 20:35, 14 February 2025 (UTC)

However like I said some pages say "earliest build of", is that wording allowed? Newuserpl2 (talk) 20:37, 14 February 2025 (UTC)

That's to builds which are the earliest known or the earliest available of a version of Windows Slovensky2000 (talk) 20:38, 14 February 2025 (UTC)

Saying something like "is the earliest currently known build of X" is fine in most cases. Mainnn (talk) 20:38, 14 February 2025 (UTC)

So if I put "earliest known Milestone 2 build of Windows 8.1" that would be fine? Newuserpl2 (talk) 20:38, 14 February 2025 (UTC)

I am pretty sure they say "earliest known build" or "earliest available build" and I think it's unnecessary for completely random builds like 9353. Only add it if the build is historically significant in some way. --Ryuzaki (talk | contribs) 20:39, 14 February 2025 (UTC)

Is something like "earliest known Milestone 2 build of x" fine? Newuserpl2 (talk) 20:41, 14 February 2025 (UTC)

I wouldn't put it on every Milestone of each Windows version. Mainnn (talk) 20:41, 14 February 2025 (UTC)

Mass edits like this are of low value and are not worth it. If they were really this significant, it would have been automated to the hundreds of build pages with a bot action. Doing them yourself only gives the impression of increasing your edit count. --ANightly (talk) 20:41, 14 February 2025 (UTC)

Why would I need to increase edit count? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Newuserpl2 (talk • contribs)

Please sign your comments with --~~~~. Anyway, I said it would give the impression of doing so, presumably to get certain status on the wiki, regardless of whether or not this is your intention. --ANightly (talk) 20:45, 14 February 2025 (UTC)

The -- is needed? TIL --Slovensky2000 (talk) 20:46, 14 February 2025 (UTC)

Again, if it's a build that's the earliest known/available of a version of Windows it should be fine Slovensky2000 (talk) 20:43, 14 February 2025 (UTC)
