Last night Zach (zoglesby), Pete (randomuser), Ian Weller

and I had a discussion regarding the current state of our
documentation. A tangent discussion was generated and a proposal was
brought that will hopefully remove cruft from the Fedora wiki.
Fun Facts:
1. There are 13990 wiki pages.
2. The oldest 10000 pages haven't been touched in two years.
3. The oldest 2460 pages haven't been touched since we imported the
data from the MoinMoin wiki back in 2008.
Proposal:
1. Immediately move the oldest 2460 pages to Archive: and remove their
categories.
2. Mark the remaining 10000 "old" pages as {{old}}.
3. Revisit the "old" pages in two months and any still marked as
"old"
be stripped of their categories and moved to Archive:.

I agree with this proposal :)
I'd also like to look into the API a little more, and see what we
maintenance we can do with wiki bots. Something like:
- If a page hasn't been viewed or edited in x months, flag it for review
* Unless the page is flagged as static content, then flag for review
less often.
- if a page hasn't been edited in 2x months, mail people that have
edited it and ask if the page is worth keeping around.
- If a page that a mail has been sent for hasn't been changed in x
weeks, archive it
- Automatically delete any pages with no content that are older than n weeks
- Identify high view traffic pages and mark them to be reviewed by docs;
if the page is useful documentation, put it in a guide or the cookbook,
drop a link in the page instead of the content, and get the content into tx.
