Hi folks, by chance I ran into https://en.opensuse.org/Portal:Teams and noticed a couple of oddities (= historical artefacts?) * There is a team "Community Council" listed, which "Solves internal and external conflicts and communication issues". I never heard of that, and indeed following the link it ... redirects to the Board page. => This team best should be removed to reduce possible confusion, alas I don't know how to? The page appears to be generated automatically? Who can help? * The "openSUSE team at SUSE" as such does not exist any longer. And the links is borken. => Same as above; how do we get rid of that entry on that page? * Ditto for https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Openfate_screening (which should be removed) and its entry on that page under the label of "openFATE screening". Any help (or pointers) would be lovely - thank you! Gerald

Agreed the history of the actual page dates back to 2010 so its certainly possible this predates the board being created (I don't remember that date it was a little before I joined the project),

It seems this is part of the mediawiki portal feature [1] after being utterly confused by the documentation provided there and how this all fits together I searched the wiki for all portal pages and came across the sub page https://en.opensuse.org/Portal:Teams/Teams which seems to have all the content. There are probably a large number of other pages there that link to no longer existing or very outdated pages as well. It does look like what its trying to do is really useful so if we fix up most of the pages linked there it would be a great resource that we should link to better, i've spent alot of time on our wiki and thats the first time i've come across that specific page. 1. https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Portals -- Simon Lees (Simotek) http://simotek.net Emergency Update Team keybase.io/simotek SUSE Linux Adelaide Australia, UTC+10:30 GPG Fingerprint: 5B87 DB9D 88DC F606 E489 CEC5 0922 C246 02F0 014B

I took this and...
* The "openSUSE team at SUSE" as such does not exist any longer. And the links is borken.
...and...
* Ditto for https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Openfate_screening
...and remove all three from https://en.opensuse.org/Portal:Teams .

This appears to be a manually maintained page with *lots* of explicit formatting / markup, so it's not maximally easy to update, in particular adding or removing entries.
There are probably a large number of other pages there that link to no longer existing or very outdated pages as well.
Any observations by any of you? I don't want to become master of the Wiki, but am willing to spend a bit of time to help cleaning up stale contents there.

Agreed - it looks like a useful resource. Who would be the right party to link it more prominently? Gerald
