Migration Procedure

Procedure for migrating pages:

  1. Migrate the page
  2. Edit the old page to add the following notice at the top of the page:
This page has been frozen and moved to http://wiki.swil.org/index.php/
Please edit it there, not here.  Thanks!

  1. Strikethrough the page on this list.

List of Pages to be Moved

What follows is a list of pages on the old MoinMoin wiki (http://wiki.sccs.swarthmore.edu/swil) that have yet to be migrated here.

User pages should go in the User namespace, like User:JillianWaldman. We should wait to migrate them until everyone has chosen usernames for the new wiki.

If the edit history for a page is interesting (many contributors, controversial data), you may want to successively submit all past versions of the page. (Click the "get info" button in MoinMoin to see previous edits). If you do this, attach a comment to each version indicating who added each edit, and when.

If the edit history is simple, you can simply list the page's original creator at the top of the Talk page.

Regular Pages

Pages That Don't Exist Yet

These don't actually exist on MoinMoin. Do something about this, willya?

User Pages

Don't edit these until everyone has usernames on this Wiki.

Panic Book Pages

Panic Book pages are a special problem, since the current plan is to incorporate most of them as howto sections into ordinary wiki pages on the relevant subject matter, rather than moving them to pages with the same name. The old panic book (http://www.swil.org/howtos/howto/node7.html) is a print LaTeX document, which is why a formatting change is needed.

A few separate "how to ___" or "running ___" pages will probably need to be created, for presidents-specific stuff that isn't events. Most of it should go under dedicated pages for events and/or positions.

Pterodactyl Hunt Pages

The following pages no longer need to be subpages of the hunt page, but should go in Category:Pterodactyl Hunt (using the Hunt Template) instead.

Guidelines for merging pages -- if writing the two separate pages would require you to copy and paste huge blocks of text and link everything to the sister page, just merge them.
