Wait, how do you know this?
Any significant wiki pages in existence? -- Andrei
There were quite a few on the old wiki (which doesn't matter
any more since the information is outdated). Moving the website
to GitHub lowered the contribution bar, so I agree these
buttons are mostly obsolete. Even if there is content there, it
is not very discoverable.
I imagine you could scrape the wiki access logs and check for
when the referrer is dlang.org to see how much it's actually
used. I suspect it's almost non-existent though.
When I added the Improve This Page button the goal was to make
the website act like a moderated wiki. I didn't even know about
the page wiki stuff until I went to implement that button. I
suspect not many people realize it's there. The wiki is good but
I don't think we should be encouraging edits to low traffic pages
like most of these page wiki pages would be. The chance of
stagnant, invalid information isn't worth it so I think we should
drop it.
