I'd be happy to help, however wikitech is restricted wiki, so I guess I can't really help there, anyway I think it would be best if current wikitech was kept for historical purposes, and in case we forgot to move something you could find it in, wikitech-historical.wikimedia.org or similar url

I heard that there was a plan to merge these wikis to one central wiki for technical documentation for various projects on wikimedia, what is the current status of that? Are we going to merge it to labsconsole, or to wikitech? There are some services atm running on labs and documentation is all around, it would be really nice to have a one place for this all. Put all the documentations for software from meta, mediawiki, english wikipedia and labsconsole and wikitech to some central "tech" wiki.
Yes. There's a plan to do so. We'd merge wikitech into labsconsole, but we'll likely rename labsconsole to wikitech (and of course add a redirect, so that old links continue to work). We'll also have a wikitech-static mirror, which similar to wikitech now, will be offsite and can be used for reference if the cluster is down.
We need to identify which documentation should and should not be migrated over when it occurs, as there is a lot of documentation that is old/inaccurate and should be deleted. We'd love to have some community support for this, if anyone wants to help out.
If we enabled wikitech as an import source for labsconsole, this process could get underway. I'd suggest making some new category on wikitech "Stuff to be moved to Labsconsole" that pages can be put in once they've been vetted.
