Just wondering here but...if there is simply a desire to consolidate, then
why not consolidate to meta and elinate wikitech. Its also not a perfect
solution but as someone brought up before, a lot more people are familiar with
meta than wikitech.

location for metrics documentation
We could, in this case, create an Analytics' metric documentation page in
Wikitech, that comprehends all metrics that we Analytics are aware of and
consider part of our pipeline. Some of them would be described in Wikitech
itself, and some others would point Research's page in Meta or any other older
sources. But in any case, a user that landed in Wikitech's metrics page would
be able to browse all metric information. And we'd have a single source of
information from the Analytics' point of view.

Drawbacks: People who maintain and use those metric pages don't want you to
move them for a myriad of reasons.
Many of us are confident that Meta is the Right(TM) place for themMeta has
become the place where we document studies. Our core metrics should be
accompanied by a study of their meaning and the robustness of their
parameters.Meta is where the research community of Wikimedia stuff generally
hangs out.It would cause disruption in our work to remove the metrics pages.
We'd need to write a bit to fix the broken links.
What are the benefits of temporarily moving all of this content to Wikitech?
You might end up moving it back after all. Is it easier to edit the
documentation on Wikitech than it is on Meta in some way?

Strongly oppose moving the Research namespace hosted metrics documentation off
Meta. It's s'posed to be broadly accessible. Wikitech is on few peoples' radar.
Mediawiki.org is for software documentation. Meta is the central wiki for the
movement (however imperfect). - J

I don't think that is feasible or reasonable for the documentation that is
currently on Meta.

We have a documentation cleanup day coming up soon, and we've just got delete
permissions so we can actually clean. We've been moving everything
Analytics-infrastructure related to wikitech and that's where we'd prefer to
see everything. The nuanced purpose of each wiki is great, but before we can
get to that, we have to establish a trusted, complete, and discoverable source
of documentation. Then we can start catering to the audiences of each wiki.
I propose we move everything to wikitech now, and establish a single page on
meta and mediawiki that point to the different main pages on wikitech.

We currently have metrics documentation in two different places
What sort of documentation do you have in mind? Meta has the definitions which
WMF hopes to see used in other fields as well, while MediaWiki.org and wikitech
have technical documentation about stats.wikimedia.org and other stuff produced
by Analytics.
