thread_title: Why is crc-32 mentioned

message: There is a problems when visualising Magnet_URI_scheme#url_magnet_.28mediawiki-1.15.1.tar.gz.29, the link goes beyond the width of the page. If we breakline, we break the link. Any way to fix it (maybe with CSS)?  4v4l0n42 (talk) 13:48, 24 March 2011 (UTC)

message: I've added it again, nice rewrite lately but it's so extremely techy at the start and needs a far simpler intro imo --PopUpPirate 00:08, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

message: What encoding scheme is being used for these SHA-1 hashes? It obviously isn't hexadecimal, as SHA-1 hashes usually are. --Zantolak 05:16, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: I think it's great that we want to adopt a logo for use with Magnet Links, or Magnet URIs, but this is not the place for that, why not suggest this to the developers of the bittorrent software or other related software that uses this feature? Once the software adopts an icon or logo, it will be usable in the encyclopedia to signify the standard. We don't make standards here, we document them. NaruFGT (talk) 22:15, 20 January 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  magnet scheme "logo"? 

message: At least for bittorrent, this seems to be the commonly used identifier for a webseed for content, instead of as= or xs= as they would refer to the metadata in the case of bittorrent instead https://trac.transmissionbt.com/ticket/2631#comment:2. However I couldn't really find a spec for it, just one sentence here: http://forum.bittorrent.org/viewtopic.php?pid=641#p641  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tddt (talk • contribs) 04:47, 13 February 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  ws= parameter? 

message: There are (at this time) 4 references for the entire bulk of the article.
Two are direct references to the source code of TransmissionBT, one from BitTorrent client's developer pages, and one from the W3Consortium talk pages.
None of these sources are a reference to a standard, a standard in development, or even claim to be.
I feel references need to be integrated into this page, and the header text needs to remove "draft open standard" or modified as this is neither a standard or a draft of a standard, rather a feature implemented on multiple clients.
If Magnet URI schema (more so it seems this feature is a collaborative development of client specific schemata) is indeed a standard, a reference needs to be added to confirm this.
This is an encyclopedia and 'common knowledge' isn't an acceptable source.
Also I changed it to De facto because there isn't a single "Open" draft of the standard, just multiple Open Source implementations of the standard.

thread_title:  This article lacks references. 

message: I couldn't agree more!
I'm a pretty high end IT 'user', but not an IT professional, and much of this article just baffles me.
It really needs a section on what the PRACTICAL differences are, what the difference makes to the end user, in plain English.  I'm certainly not the person to write it though...!

message: This article is a largely unsourced dump of technical trivia which is often a decade or so out of date. This content can be maintained on wikis which don't care about our standards. I'll be restoring the abridged version once the single-purpose editor who just reporting me for vandalism (ahem) loses interest.

thread_title:  Nuke required 

message: Currently the article only have http://bittorrent.org/beps/bep_0009.html as a specification for the parameters supported by magnet links. This only covers the xt, dn, and tr parameters specified in this article. It need more references for the other parameters. Laptudirm (talk) 07:03, 12 May 2022 (UTC)
