Hi all, I'm happy to announce that this year's Season of Docs project is now complete! Charles Uneze[0] has successfully completed the migration of the remaining MediaWiki documentation from Meta-Wiki to mediawiki.org, including work on over 80 pages. The Help namespace on Meta[1] now contains only documentation specific to Wikimedia wikis, and all MediaWiki user documentation is now organized as part of mediawiki.org[2].
For more information about the project, see the project proposal[3], case study[4], and Phab task[5]. A huge thanks to Charles for all his excellent work and to Okereke Chinweotito[6], Pppery[7], and everyone else who provided support during the project!
