OK, I've set up a special permission group in the new wiki:
https://wiki-test.fsfe.org/Group/WikiCareTakers
Members of this group will be able to set up top level pages. They do also have general admin rights where permissions are not otherwise given, *but* they do not supersede existing ACLs.

On a different topic: Do we have a schedule for the effort as a whole? I.e. do we (want to) have deadlines for the end of planning-phase, as well as for first, second, third sweep?
I hereby declare wiki-test.fsfe.org as writable. I think we should switch it into production within the next week. Content created there now on will be retained when this happens. We should move this fast to keep the migration phase smooth.
Please think of top level structures, categories and templates and set them up.
Also read and edit http://wiki-test.fsfe.org/WikiAdmin
Having access to the server I can migrate pages from the old Wiki easily, including their edit history.
I have already started migrating permission groups and some pages, which are protected by ACLs. Visitors of those pages will be redirected to http://wiki.fsfe.org/PageMigrated
When I am done with those critical parts (~90 pages), I could move all remaining, unprotected pages to some incoming section of the new wiki and we can move them into place, and rename them from there. This affects some 1500 pages, but as they are not completely unordered, we can move a lot of them in Bulk (e.g. the FellowshipGroup and Fellows pages, including sub pages).
We will make sure that the old Wiki cannot be edited anymore while we are in this phase.
Looking a bit further into the future: we could probably turn this whole effort into an annual Wiki Spring cleaning...
Yes, sounds good. What we do this time is a special case though. We are moving wiki instances here. Future work will be less troublesome and will probably not require write protecting pages in the process.
