→Renaming back to “OS-level virtualisation”: new section |

Line 57:
I've renamed this back to OS-level virtualisation (shortening "Operating-system-level" to "OS-level" for a shorter title). Container is very Linux-specific terminology (possibly borrowing on the branding of an implementation in Solaris); I've never heard of anyone referring to [[FreeBSD jail]] or [[DragonFly BSD]]'s [[vkernel]] as a container; undo an ill-discussed and Linux-specific move of something that's a very well-known operating system paradigm as-is; "container" is probably also a slang, and doesn't describe all levels of "OS-level virtualisation", either; in fact, in the prior discussion itself one of the suggestions was to rename the page either to "containers" or to "jails", which shows a very clear lack of consensus of how this should be called if a rename is to be performed, and confirms that the prior name of "OS-level virtualisation" might as well be more neutral and encyclopaedic. Do not move again unless a clear and sourced consensus is apparent. There needs to be an article about "OS-level virtualisation" for other technologies to reference, which don't use "container" terminology and aren't known as "containers", and where people would be confused by the mentions of "containers". If you think a separate article about containers is warranted, feel free to create such article, but I fail to see clear evidence supporting a rename.

: {{ping|MureninC}} I think there was a clear consensus to move to "Container (virtualization)"; while one user did suggest "jail" as an alternative target, I did implicitly address that by saying that "container" {{tq|seems to be the most popular name... by far.}} If you disagree with the move decision, please use [[Wikipedia:Move review]] to contest it instead of reverting unilaterally. <span style="white-space: nowrap;">[[User:Qzekrom|Qzekrom]] [[User talk:Qzekrom|💬]] <sup>they</sup><sub>them</sub></span> 05:47, 9 April 2019 (UTC)
