Thanks so much for jumping in on this, Guillaume! As you can see by the list of dozens of redundant/obsolete pages, it's long overdue.

Hi,
A few weeks ago, Tomasz asked me to investigate the possibility of consolidating the Mobile projects documentation, currently split between meta and mediawiki.org.
I've done some inventorizing and planning:
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Technical_communications/Mobile_documentation...
What I'd like to ask you guys now is the following:
Do you see any reason not to move forward with this plan?
Could you take a look at the content on meta and delete what's
obsolete (and doesn't need archiving)?
I can take a pass at this, but it would be really helpful to have some of the engineers (especially the ones who were around before I was on the mobile team) go through the list of pages and see if anything needs salvaging/archiving. Those of you with staff rights on your staff accounts should be able to delete pages (the option is in the top right drop-down tab next to the search bar); if you don't see "delete" as an option when you click on the drop-down, follow Thehelpfulone's instructions below and just add {{delete|Mobile pages cleanup}} to the top of the page, and I'll take care of the rest :)
- When would be the best time to do the actual move? I expect the move
to take about a day, and I'd like to choose a time that minimizes disruption.
It would be good to have some time to do the deletion audit above, so maybe in a week or two?
Thanks again, Guillaume. Hugely appreciated!
