I' going to push back on keeping old pages a bit. If we make sure we
capture what's important from the page elsewhere, in more relevant
pages, then we should just let it go. The wiki is packed full of
great information which can be challenging for users. I think we
should get rid of anything that is not relevant (perhaps we can create
a place to keep archived pages outside of the wiki) as it just serves
as noise for the user as they are trying to figure out what to pay
attention to -- information overload is something we should constantly
trying to protect users from. I think there are times when older
pages help tell the story of why and how we got to where are and
that's a different situation. Then I agree, let's keep them for
institutional memory and just make them less prominent. I believe in
this case though we aren't losing anything by losing this page.
My 2 cents...

I just changed the name of this page to "ARCHIVE - User Testing
Project Plan Proposal" and changed the first paragraph to say: This
is was DRAFT project plan to be used in UX team planning, but no
longer reflects the current plan. Earlier tasks are more
defined and scoped than later ones.
I generally like to keep older pages around as an archive, as once
you delete them the content is lost forever. I've done things like
rename pages or put them in "Archive" folders in order to let folks
know they are no longer current. Perhaps we should come up with a
standard convention to use on the wiki for this?
Cheers,

Seems fine to me. It looks like this is a cross between what user
testing we were doing and what/how we'd like to do testing and
present
results. Perhaps we want to incorporate some of the content into our
user testing wiki templates if it's not already. The one that pops
out is "top 10 issues summary".
In a conference all day today but happy to look at this more closely
next week if you'd like some help Gary.

This page appears to be obsolete, both in dated content and that we

doing the planning via other means:

Is anyone opposed to having the page removed?
