            Bug ID: 71723
           Summary: Move https://noc.wikimedia.org/conf/ to a wiki page on
                    wikitech.wikimedia.org
           Product: Wikimedia
           Version: wmf-deployment
          Hardware: All
               URL: https://noc.wikimedia.org/conf/
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Unprioritized
         Component: General/Unknown
          Assignee: [email protected]
          Reporter: [email protected]

Prior to Git and Puppet and other niceties, https://noc.wikimedia.org/conf/
served a more important purpose: providing snapshots and later up-to-date
symlinks of Wikimedia configuration files that weren't available elsewhere.

Today, as an index, https://noc.wikimedia.org/conf/ continues to be useful, but
it's a bit tedious/awkward to update currently and the page content could use
love. https://noc.wikimedia.org/conf/ should be moved to a wiki page on
https://wikitech.wikimedia.org and a redirect should be put in place so that
https://noc.wikimedia.org/conf/ redirects to the wiki page. The wiki page will
allow for much easier editing, meaning a more up-to-date page and we can easily
link to GitHub or git.wikimedia.org or elsewhere, with syntax highlighting or
serving the raw files.

I think https://noc.wikimedia.org/conf/ is a helpful cheatsheet/reference
guide, but it doesn't need the additional infrastructure (such as
highlight.php) to continue providing the service it provides. I think a wiki
page will suffice.
