As far as I can remember from last year, never. Or to put it in a more constructive way: What's the difference between KnowledgeBase and KnowHow?

If there's no clear distinction between those two we should get rid of one or the other.

The page description reads quite ambitious: "Please find a list of all documentation inside the FSFE wiki in this Knowledge Base. This shall be like a front-page of information and should be updated every time a new documentation is added inside the wiki."

Does this mean this should be an annotated version of SiteNavigation? [https://wiki.fsfe.org/SiteNavigation]

I also wonder because when I add more information now inside, it automatically still does put /Migrated/ into the URL.

Actually, it's not automatically put into Migrated, but Migrated/KnowledgeBase is still the page location and KnowledgeBase is just a server-side redirect to Migrated/KnowlegeBase.

To avoid to create more and more "migrated" content I wonder when we will have the pages in their original URIs and if there is something we can do to support it?

I would like to propose the following procedure:

1. Determine whether KnowledgeBase and KnowHow should both be top level namespaces. 2. Replace the existing redirection to Migrated/KnowledgeBase either by renaming Migrated/KnowlegeBase to the root namespace, or by a redirection to /KnowHow 3. Merge contents of the two pages, delete the now redundant one

How does this sound?

Cheers, Johannes

I am confused. I mean I know that we migrated the wiki and adding /Migrated/ into the URL was a (necessary) technical solution for something.

There has been _nothing_ technical about this decision!

We put all pages there because their location did not adher to any sensible system, and hence they were impossible to find. Half of the pages there should not have been written, because they were redundant versions of other pages, even at the time.

Think of the Migrated section as a scrapyard.

But now, it makes me wonder when we will get rid of it again? So when will

https://wiki.fsfe.org/Migrated/KnowledgeBase

be again

https://wiki.fsfe.org/KnowledgeBase ?

Last year we decided on distinct top level sections and their names. You made proposals yourself, and can make further ones at any time.

In this case the name itself is redundant to one of:

http://wiki.fsfe.org/HowTos http://wiki.fsfe.org/KnowHow http://wiki.fsfe.org/TechDocs

The subpages of KnowledgeBase probably need to be sortet out among those three, the main KnowledgeBase page can probably be deleted. It seems you are the best qualified to say, what makes sense.

I also wonder because when I add more information now inside, it automatically still does put /Migrated/ into the URL. For example I just wanted to create

https://wiki.fsfe.org/KnowledgeBase/Internal

but it automatically changes it into

https://wiki.fsfe.org/Migrated/KnowledgeBase/Internal

To avoid to create more and more "migrated" content I wonder when we will have the pages in their original URIs and if there is something we can do to support it?

Actually you are supposed to support us here. And you are right, you should indeed not create new content under Migrated.

Instead, move the pages somewhere sensible, before adding anything. Do this by selecting "Rename Page" from the drop down menu at the top right of the page content.
