The problem is PWB can't fit in any of the any of the namespace completely, for example about the manual: "mainly for people setting up their own wiki": No one needs to start their own wiki to make a bot running and it's not too technical to be there.
in other hands main namespace never was completely about general information about mediawiki software. you can find pages like [[Flow]], [[Echo]], etc. that they are completely separated from mediawiki core and they have lots of subpages in the main namespace too On 5/24/14, billinghurst <[email protected]> wrote: > On Sat, 24 May 2014 06:21:32 +0430, Amir Ladsgroup <[email protected]> > wrote: >> Hello all, >> Based on several discussions here and there I want to move >> [[Manual:Pywikibot]] <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/PWB> (and all of > the >> subpages which are about 200 pages) to [[Pywikibot]] like other products >> >> Another reason that motivates me to move is the page (and subpages) > aren't >> just about running a bot. they are about everything, including reports, >> discussions, description about scripts and anything about pywikibot in >> general. >> >> If you disagree or you have any ideas please feel free to share and if >> there will be no objection until Tuesday, I'll move them. >> >> Best > > Really?
