Just wondering here but...if there is simply a desire to consolidate, then why not consolidate to meta and elinate wikitech. Its also not a perfect solution but as someone brought up before, a lot more people are familiar with meta than wikitech.

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

You might end up moving it back after all. Is it easier to edit the documentation on Wikitech than it is on Meta in some way?
- Many of us are confident that Meta is the Right(TM) place for them
- Meta has become the place where we document studies. Our core metrics should be accompanied by a study of their meaning and the robustness of their parameters.
- Meta is where the research community of Wikimedia stuff generally hangs out.
- It would cause disruption in our work to remove the metrics pages. We'd need to write a bit to fix the broken links.

We've been moving everything Analytics-infrastructure related to wikitech and that's where we'd prefer to see everything. The nuanced purpose of each wiki is great, but before we can get to that, we have to establish a trusted, complete, and discoverable source of documentation. Then we can start catering to the audiences of each wiki.I propose we move everything to wikitech now, and establish a single page on meta and mediawiki that point to the different main pages on wikitech.On Wed, Oct 14, 2015 at 1:14 AM, Federico Leva (Nemo) <nemowiki@gmail.com> wrote:Neil P.

What sort of documentation do you have in mind? Meta has the definitions which WMF hopes to see used in other fields as well, while MediaWiki.org and wikitech have technical documentation about stats.wikimedia.org and other stuff produced by Analytics.
