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.

and analytics.;Subject:Re: [Analytics] Canonical location for metrics documentation
We could, in this case, create an Analytics' metric documentation page in Wikitech,
that comprehends all metrics that we Analytics are aware of and consider part of our
pipeline. Some of them would be described in Wikitech itself, and some others would point
Research's page in Meta or any other older sources. But in any case, a user that
landed in Wikitech's metrics page would be able to browse all metric information. And
we'd have a single source of information from the Analytics' point of view.

Drawbacks: People who maintain and use those metric pages don't want you to move them
for a myriad of reasons.
Many of us are confident that Meta is the Right(TM) place for themMeta 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.
What are the benefits of temporarily moving all of this content to Wikitech? 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?

Strongly oppose moving the Research namespace hosted metrics documentation off Meta.
It's s'posed to be broadly accessible. Wikitech is on few peoples' radar.
Mediawiki.org is for software documentation. Meta is the central wiki for the movement
(however imperfect). - J

I don't think that is feasible or reasonable for the documentation that is currently
on Meta.

We have a documentation cleanup day coming up soon, and we've just got delete

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.

We currently have metrics documentation in two different places
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.
