Sort out places for MediaWiki and Wikimedia tech presentations on wiki pages

This task requires organization skills - like cleaning up a messy place. :)

We have many places related to MediaWiki and Wikimedia (see https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Differences_between_Wikipedia,_Wikimedia,_MediaWiki,_and_wiki ) tech presentations.

  • Check the current situation and content of each pages, see links below.
  • Potentially check "What links here" for each page to understand which pages are "how popular" - might influence which page(s) to keep but also consider the specific scope that each of the sites (mediawiki.org as developer audience, meta.wikimedia.org as Wikimedia-wide audience, commons.wikimedia.org as a free media storage place) have.
  • Come up with a plan how to reduce the number of places (e.g. merging/moving some content; set up a page redirect when killing a page). This might need several iterations ad feedback from GCI mentors.
  • As a seperate step, after having received feedback on/a review of that plan and agreement, proceed with it (this might include creating redirects of pages).
