What do we classify as not repair related? PT. 2
Alright, I need to bring What do we classify as "not repair related"? up again. I’ve been told that must of my content on this site is not repair related. Jeff Suovanen (@jeffsu) sent me a kind email the other day about my guides .
I agree that these following guides aren’t related to repair & should be deleted
https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/How+to+Enab...
https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/How+to+inst...
https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/How+to+play...
https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Create+a+Sh...
This guide is duplicate and can be archived/deleted

However these guides (reasons provided) are related to repair & resurrecting a broken device in some ways
This one is a no brainer, it’s an iMac stand replacement guide
https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/iMac+Intel+...
This one pertains to repair because it gives you information on if your iPhone’s battery needs replacing or not
https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/How+to+test...
This one also pertains to repair in the same way above but for Macs. This is my “prized possession” as it is the guide I most frequently reference.

This one pertains to repair in the same way above but for iPads
https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/How+to+test...
This guide is questionable. It’s not about repair but rather a technique to keep aging Macs out of the trash. It’s my attempt at saving the earth & spreading DosDude1’s incredible patch tool

These following SMC & PRAM/NVRAM guides pertain to repair because they can resurrect a dead Mac in some cases

My other question is that if iFixit is a strictly repair related site why do we have this Software category? Isn’t that not repair related? Why are my guides not repair related & somehow that category is classified as repair related? I'm a bit baffled on that one.
Is this a worthwhile discussion?
