What's the rationale? > First, we'd be merging them and renaming labsconsole to wikitech. Second, it's absurd to have operations documentation spread across two places, and wikitech is almost solely operations documentation. Third, it's easier to create an account on labsconsole, so people can actually edit the docs. Fourth, someone actually maintains the labsconsole wiki. Fifth, it actually makes more sense to host things like project documentation on wikitech than it does to host it on mediawiki.org, but it's too hard for folks to edit wikitech (see #3). By using labsconsole we could also move the project documentation there as well. Sixth, we have too many wikis. - Ryan _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
