Rehashing wikis

[Matthew East]

Couple of things which I need advice on,

1. compare http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/HowTo/backlinks with
http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/HowTo/ This is obviously not a good
state of affairs. i checked all the diff of that page that I could, and
as far back as it goes, couldn't find the culprit who deleted this page.
Does anyone have access to a longer page history than me? Maybe revert
if possible, or otherwise we can start the tidying up exercise.

2. I was saying with Simon the other day that DocumentationArea is
pretty much a second FrontPage and they both overlap and are not really
useful. I am happy to try and merge them and improve the structure, but
it is such a major change of the wiki that I want some advice and
approval/disapproval.

Thanks, please reply! ;)
