ok, i have still the bug open for a long time, here is my point of view for discussion. The wiki makes it possible to clutter a lot of pages over the whole wiki, or try to make some kind of order.
- is this point of view valid for most of you? - do we need the separation? - what is missing?
The important things about SDB/Howto separation were already said, and I don't have to add much on it. Perhaps one thing: I don't think that the SDB should be protected - this will only add workload to the admins without a real need. I remember only a single SDB page that doesn't qualify as "good" SDB page [1], which means there are nearly no quality problems in the SDB. Though, I haven't read all the SDB pages ;-)
* FAQ - should have a separate namespace: FAQ: - short and to the point - the general FAQ layout should be known, so no more explanation here - we should have a FAQ launchpage with all FAQs on it
I assume we are mostly talking about "technical" FAQs here. I wonder if we can really separate them from SDB articles and (mini) Howtos... IMHO there are two reasons why someone reads FAQs: - there's a problem and he/she wants a solution -> SDB - someone wants to enhance his system setup [insert any example between user icon in KDM and mailserver setup here] -> Howto I don't believe that users read FAQs to see what problems they could theoretically hit. Many users don't even read the release notes... For "non-technical" FAQs there's already /FAQ covering many issues, and I don't see enough questions for a separate namespace. I'm also not sure if too many namespaces are useful. If you create too many of them, people will start to request even more. For example, I could bring up the idea to have a "Meetings:" namespace for all meetings and transcripts ;-) (which would be more useful than a FAQ namespace, because meeting transcripts can really clutter up search results.)
