Folder/Wiki/Vault with shared, large, public Files/Attachments.
The Repository Name is deliberately chosen to indicate the File Size and to start with an 'x' so it ends up near the end of alphabetical Lists.
This is a Sub-Vault for large Files/Attachments of the [[../_public]] Vault. It should be checked out into the [[../xLarge.public|xLarge.public]] Subfolder.
Storing large in the Repository keeps the [[../_public]] Repository small and allows for people to choose NOT to clone this.
This Repository can be cloned or referenced as a Submodule in your Wikis/Vaults.
Pull-Requests are welcome, but read the Section about [[#How to contribute]] first!
The [[License]] is chosen to be compatible with Wikipedia and Wikidata,
so that Information can freely be exchanged with this Repository.
To limit the Size of any Repository, individual Sub-Repositories are singled out, which can be cloned and versioned independently.
Whenever a Folder becomes too large, we will separate it into a new Repository, that can be checked out in place of the previous Folder. This guarantees that any Links will still work after this Refactoring.
An important one is the 'xLarge.public' (eXtra large) Module, dedicated to store 'Attachments', i.e. large, binary Files.
When mounted directly in Obsidian, this Folder can be marked as the Destination for Attachments,
but you may choose your own Folder for that to prevent accidentally pushing private Attachments.
The name was chosen deliberately to place it at the end of the Folder List
SubModules were seriously considered, but proved to create friction and conflicts in a highly distributed System of Wiki-Repositories. Additionally, there are no strict compatibility requirements needed as for e.g. Source Code.
SubModules offer the Benefit of including all required Modules optionally, but they fix the Module's Version/Hash and therefore need to be updated regularly to keep up with the linked Content.
Especially with nested Sub-Modules, Conflicts in Hashes are very likely, hard to resolve, and factually irrelevant. Therefore the Modules should typically be cloned into an ignored Folder and versioned independently. Nonetheless, private Repositories may find it useful to include this Repository as a Sub-Module for ease of use.

All downloads and uploads must comply to the [[License]] attached to this Repository. Any content with unclear or wrong Licensing must be raised as an issue and will not be accepted into this Repository. Every uploaded File or Folder should be attributed with a '.md' File of the same Name, indicating the License Status for the respective File or all Files in the Folder. In case of Wikimedia Files, this can e.g. be delegated by a Link to the corresponding Wikimedia Article.
Although many Wikis support Spaces, we try to avoid them, because they create many Problems, not the least is that URLs and IRIs need to escape them. This increases support for other Platforms like TiddlyWiki etc. that recognize Wiki-Words For Readability we recommend using 'Kebab-Case' or 'Snake_Case'.
Dash: - as in Kebab-Case Dot: '.' used to indicate a Hierarchy of Terms Underscore: _ as in Snake_Case Tilde: ~ used to indicate Specialization (Sub-Hierarchy)
Try to avoid these reserved Characters in Folder and File Names to prevent Escaping in URLs. Most are disallowed in Wiki-Names too. Instead use one of the given Alternatives / Substitutes:
| Char | Alt | Enc | Semantics |
|---|---|---|---|
| ' ' | _ - ~ | %20 | Prose Word Separator |
| % | %25 | URL-Escape Character; Percent-Sign | |
| < > | %3C %3E | less than and greater than | |
| [ ] | %5B %5D | open and close brackets | |
| { } | %7B %7D | open and close braces | |
| ^ | %5E | caret | |
| | | %7C | pipe | |
| \ / | %5C %2F | backslash | |
To allow for Reasoning over the Data, it is necessary to agree on the Semantics of a Set of Tags and Attributes. This Library tends to generalizing Attributes, rather than specializing them. This may lead to ambiguities, but prevents fragmentation. Use Common Sense when inferring from these Attributes.
