sgp_: repo.getmonero.org/monero-project/monero-site/issues/1006

ErCiccione[m]: imo it fits the moneropedia, even if it's mostly used for dev stuff

something like "it's an arbitrary field. it's not recommended to use it in production, and users should be aware of their transactions looking different than those that do not use this field". something like that

tx_extra is used in production, for many protocol-required elements

I assume you mean it's not recommended to use it in non-standard ways

I see your point sgp_, but is it really so important to deserve a special treatment compared to all the other commands?

sarang: yeah

ErCiccione[m]: it's not a command

what other similar things did you reject?

yeah field, sorry

my impression is that the moneropedia is there to provide definitions for specific things

if there are other similar ones, why not add those too?

Alright, makes sense to add it then. I just wanted to have clear why adding it specifically there.

Who's the intended audience?

Users would never interact with this directly

Although it's listed in some block explorers

hmm

sarang: The moneropedia is a mix really. There isn't a specific audience

I would prefer it to see more noob-user oriented, but there is a lot of useful information there that i wouldn't know where to put

If you're just looking at extra in a block explorer, it's not going to provide with any useful information on its own

sgp_: what other similar things did you reject? <- missed this. I never rejected any, but we also never had many additions.

imo a good project for someone is to add a bunch of relevant moneropedia stuff

dev guide would be about how to do a specific thing with it, for example

in my mind the moneropedia is a reference doc for what things are

Adding new voices would be cool. There are some proposals already: repo.getmonero.org/monero-project/m…name%5B%5D=%F0%9F%93%96+moneropedia

all of those look like good additions to me
