[wiki-proposal] Edit in UserDocumentation - remove RestrictedFormats

[Mads Peter Rommedahl]

Hi, I was about to edit UserDocumentation [1] when I noticed that changes
should be discussed here - seems like I've been spending too much time on
Wikipedia :-)

Anyway, what I was about to do was to remove "Multimedia Support" (directing
to RestrictedFormats[2]) from the section "Music, Video and Photos". The
reason for this is that the link "Multimedia", placed right below
"Multimedia Support", links to a page[3] which, as its first link, links
back the RestrictedFormats page. This has two problems I think:

I) First of all structure-wise it's a little dumb.. Why link to the page
both places? It would seem that, from the main page UserDocumentation, that
"Multimedia" and "Multimedia Support" should lead in two different
directions, but instead you may end up getting thrown across the wiki
between two topic that are basically about the same thing.
II) If a new user has some kind of question relating to Multimedia, would
he/she then pick "Multimedia" or "Multimedia Support" to look in? I think
most users would be confused.

IMHO, the "Multimedia Support" (aka. RestrictedFormats) should be removed
from the UserDocumentation page, and instead maybe be in bold on the
Multimedia page. That should make it a one-way street.

Comments, please, as I'm very new to the wiki :-)
