We need to identify which documentation should and should not be

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.
Rob Moen has been working on a simple JS tool that facilitates the
tagging process. Basically, instead of manually tagging the pages with
a different template for each action (archive, delete, keep), there's
a simple box that shows up at the top of the page, and you can tag the
page with a few clicks.
The goal of this tool is to allow people with expertise and/or
authority to quickly tag the content. Once the content has been
tagged, other people can deal with the actual move.
So far the possible actions are:
* archive
* delete
* keep and (optionally) expand and/or update
The actions use radio buttons, and the options checkboxes. This list
is just a start; if you see other or better qualifiers, we can change
them.
Do you think this would be useful, or do you prefer to stick to manual
templating/categorizing?
Also, the gadgets extension isn't currently installed on
wikitech.wm.o. I'm not sure it's worth going through the trouble of
installing it (would it even be compatible with the 1.17 MediaWiki
that's running it?). Perhaps it would be simpler to just add the code
snippet to [[MediaWiki:Vector.js]] for the duration of the cleanup?
