[wiki] PopularPages - recommended update to F page

[Leigh Tate]

Tom, I agree with your assessment of FireWire https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FireWire  and Firewire / combined https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Firewire/combined . Since all the Firewire pages have been edited by the same person, it seems reasonable that they had a specific plan in mind. I'm guessing the subpages were once linked to the original FireWire page but were replaced with the internal links(?).

My function has been check individual pages and move as needed to the PopularPages sandbox (To Be Reviewed https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PopularPages/ToBeReviewed ). It tidies up PopularPages https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PopularPages  until someone with the appropriate expertise can deal with the moved pages. The Firewire pages have been the first in such a state and they puzzled me at first.

Here's what I propose. I can move the following to To Be Reviewed https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PopularPages/ToBeReviewed  -

To the unedited section:
Fedora Directory Server https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FedoraDirectoryServer&lang=en  (last edited 2012-01-26)
File Permissions ACLs https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissionsACLs&lang=en  (last edited 2012-01-18)
Firefox Plugins https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxPlugins&lang=en  (last edited 2011-05-30)
Fluxbox https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fluxbox&lang=en  (last edited 2011-04-08)
FireWire / old Pages / Firewire 01 https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FireWire/oldPages/Firewire01&lang=en 
FireWire / old Pages / Firewire 02 https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FireWire/oldPages/Firewire02&lang=en 

FireWire / old Pages / Firewire 03 https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FireWire/oldPages/Firewire03&lang=en 
To the no longer supported section:
Firebird 2.0 https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Firebird2.0&lang=en 
Firebird 2.1 https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Firebird2.1&lang=en 
Leave the remaining Firewire pages on PopularPages F https://help.ubuntu.com/community/F&lang=en :
FireWire / Digital Audio https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FireWire/DigitalAudio&lang=en 

FireWire / Digital Audio / Older Releases https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FireWire/DigitalAudio/OlderReleases&lang=en 

FireWire / Digital Video https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FireWire/DigitalVideo&lang=en 

FireWire / dvgrab https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FireWire/dvgrab&lang=en 

FireWire / Ethernet https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FireWire/Ethernet&lang=en 

FireWire / Glossary https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FireWire/Glossary&lang=en 
It would be nice to have them all properly linked to a parent page, but that's outside my particular goal, which is to help keep the PopularPages up to date and easy to use.

Hi :)
Just compared; 

FireWire
Firewire / combined

I think delete the 2nd one. Better would be to set it as a redirect to the first one. 

It looks to me like the "combined" page was created after the main one but it's unclear why and more recent edits have pulled the information back onto the main page. 

The 2nd page would need more work than the main one to reduce the number of times that the word "FireWire" acts as a clickable link and to add links that are already on the main page. 

So, i think just make the "combined" page into a redirect. 

Wrt the 2.0 and 2.1 pages 

Firebird 2.0
Firebird 2.1

Normally it would probably be better to just move the pages to 
FireWire / old Pages / 
The "2.", well the dot, puts them together and slightly apart from the "02" and "03" pages. 

Wrt the sub-pages i'm not clear what makes them less than proper sub-pages. I think they should be proper sub-pages but i'm not sure what extra stuff has to be done to make them so. Tbh that's probably just me having failed to read documentation about the topic of wiki-pages. 

Regards from
Tom :)

Pages not updated within the past 18 months (possible candidates for ToBeReviewed): https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PopularPages/ToBeReviewed 

Fedora Directory Server https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FedoraDirectoryServer  (last edited 2012-01-26)

Of the 4 Firewire pages, recommend removing:
Firebird 2.0 https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Firebird2.0 
Firebird 2.1 https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Firebird2.1 
because version 2.5 is the current stable release.
There are 11 Firewire pages listed, but I frankly found it confusing. 2 pages appears as though they should be parent pages:
FireWire https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FireWire 
Firewire / combined https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Firewire/combined 

but they pretty much look like duplictes to me. Do we need both?

9 pages seem as though they should be subpages, but they are not:
FireWire / Digital Audio https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FireWire/DigitalAudio 
FireWire / Digital Audio / Older Releases https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FireWire/DigitalAudio/OlderReleases 
FireWire / Digital Video https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FireWire/DigitalVideo 
FireWire / dvgrab https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FireWire/dvgrab 
FireWire / Ethernet https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FireWire/Ethernet 
FireWire / Glossary https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FireWire/Glossary 
FireWire / old Pages / Firewire 01 https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FireWire/oldPages/Firewire01  (also tagged: content cleanup required duplicate article)
FireWire / old Pages / Firewire 02 https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FireWire/oldPages/Firewire02 
FireWire / old Pages / Firewire 03 https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FireWire/oldPages/Firewire03 

There are no links to these from either FireWire https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FireWire  of Firewire / combined https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Firewire/combined . All the links on those pages are internal. Recommendations?

Geoff, if any of these are ones you recently added, let me know!

I'll wait to hear from the team, make the recommended changes, and then adjust the PopularPages pagecount on PopularPages/Alterations. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PopularPages/Alterations
