But I try to be cautious about this sort of thing, especially when the number of items isn't very large. That's not the only way to categorize them, and there are bound to be formats that don't fit neatly into exactly one category, and it increases the friction for listing new formats. (I'd also consider starting with just two categories, "Microsoft Windows" and "Other", but that might be just me.) -[[User:Jsummers|Jsummers]] ([[User talk:Jsummers|talk]]) 13:43, 13 August 2025 (UTC)</ins></div></td></tr>

<p><b>New page</b></p><div>== Proposal to group system files by their OS or platform ==<br />
The majority of the entries are [[Microsoft Windows]] specific, this may make navigation difficult if readers are not using the same said OS. My idea is to have the following:<br />
== List of formats ==<br />
...(redacted)<br />
== [[Microsoft Windows]] ==<br />
* [[INF (Windows)]]<br />
** [[Autorun.inf]]<br />
* [[ETL]]<br />
* [[Windows Event Log]]<br />
..(redacted)<br />
== BSD ==<br />
* Basic Security Module<br />
== Unix-like ==<br />
* [[X Keymap]]<br />
What are your thoughts?<br />
