I kept the link to

about merging it with R_statistics? If we do, can keep
https://grasswiki.osgeo.org/wiki/R_statistics/spgrass6
<https://grasswiki.osgeo.org/wiki/R_statistics/spgrass6> as a page
to go for grass6 users.
I'm not in favor of the subpage idea for user wiki (but I think others
are), so I'm for merging it or creating a special page if it is
important to highlight separately from the general idea.

(Does R+GRASS == rgrass? Or is also RQGIS?)
I would limit this to R+GRASS. RQGIS is a whole different story.
In this case, it seems that overview page is needed and then a
specific page. rgrass7 is quite long already.
Merging it with r_statistics wouldn't make it that much longer, most
what is on the r_statistics page is also on rgrass7 page. We can move
the introduction on r_statistics to rgrass7, see if there is anything
else worth moving, and that's it I think (about the name of such page,
see below).
When you are at it, also note that the wiki page name is "R
statistics" which is not the name of the project, nor the way how the
project refers to itself [1]:
"""
What is R?
R is a language and environment for statistical computing and graphics.
The R environment
R is an integrated suite of software facilities for data manipulation,
calculation and graphical display.
"""
=> "R statistical environment" or Wikipedia's "R (programming
language)" if you want to avoid just "R".
One reason to use R<-->GRASS is that R adds statistical capabilities to
GRASS. I guess this is why the pages was called R_statistics? But there
are more possible reasons to use the two together. So, given that the
page (and the rgrass7 page) is about using GRASS and R in conjunction,
we could use the name 'GRASS-R', or more verbose, 'Using R with GRASS',
or if possible in the url, 'GRASS<-->R'
