So then why move documentation that is used by a larger audience to wikitech. Your explanation shows precisely why consolidating the info to meta would make more sense. It would also get more eyeballs on the documentation. It would also allow the WMF to better leverage that free volunteer workforce that likes to loiter on meta. Just my opinion though.

Subject:Re: [Analytics] Canonical location for metrics documentation

We are talking about two different types of documentation:

* Infrastructure Docs

Just like the rest of WMF infrastructure the lawful place for this is wikitech. It is documentation technical in nature of interest to engineers working at the WMF mostly. It makes sense most people do not know about it, you wouldn't unless you have worked for WMF or committed code in a volunteer capacity. 

*Metrics definitions

Our metrics are not different from research's metrics, we execute on metrics researchers have defined. If research wants to keeps those in meta I think it should not be a problem.

As far as the analytics engineering / infrastructure stuff is concerned, I'd like to finish consolidating on wikitech first.  When that's all clean and beautiful we can move everything all at once to meta.  I'm not against that at all if people ask for it.
