There's a bunch of positively ancient pages on the Fedora Wiki about Docs. We should get them all deleted and maybe set up redirects to our team docs.

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Category:Docs_Project

How can you help: Most users don't have permissions to outright delete pages, but if you have wiki edit rights, you can add the delete template to it and admins will get rid of it eventually. See here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Template:Delete

If there's a page in team docs that's close to an original wiki page, you can set up a redirect by replacing the whole page with the following template. (This also removes it from the "Docs Project" category at the same time)

{{#fedoradocs: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora-docs/}}

Glad I noticed this. As far as I know no one is watching the wiki for delete requested pages on an ongoing process. ;(

I have deleted all these and caught up on the other requested deletions now however.

Thanks, @kevin! I'll try to have a look at the other pages. What's the easiest way to make you aware of the delete requests? Do I simply post the list of links here or is there a preferred other way?

Well, for docs specific ones as part of this issue/ticket, here is fine.

Other/different ones I guess a infrastructure ticket would be best.

{{admin/note|This page has been removed.|Please go to https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora-docs/}}

TODO: All subcategories need to be reviewed and redirects need to be added.
