Plan for potential migration of material from the Wiki to the Manual

Purpose of this page
This page is a planning tool, it is designed as a mechanism to assist us in making the Wiki version-neutral:
 * Some pages, notably Tutorials and tips are likely to be transferred to the Manual,
 * Some pages are likely to be deprecated/deleted.

These pages can be used as a discussion page where we can air the merits and placement of any page that has been identified to be part of this project.

Because of the large number of pages for consideration I decided to break the plan up into the three main categories: transfer, delete, stay. Page candidates can be moved to a different category if we consider it appropriate.

Pages for potential transfer to the Manual
Go to this page to see a list of all Wiki entries that have currently been identified as potential candidates for transfer to the Manual (and thus subsequent deletion from here.

Most of these pages have version-dependent command syntax and methods of working. Moving them to the Manual will assist us in making the Wiki version-neutral.

A few things we need to consider:
 * 1) We will need to consider carefully the menu/page structure with the transferred tutorials (in addition to the current ones) as we do not want to bloat the front page.
 * 2) Similarly we will need to consider a menu/page structure for Tips that move to the Manual.
 * 3) Do we, in particular for the tutorials and tips in the Wiki, leave entries here in the Wiki that just link directly over to the Manual.  I am somewhat against that as I tend to dislike switching folk between the two wikis.  I want folk to know that tips and tutorials (in the future) are in the Manual and not the Wiki.  We would, of course have a link to the Manuals "Tutorials" and "Tips" pages.
 * 4) We need to be careful to ensure that any such transfers/deletions do not leave behind red, dead links.

Pages for potential deprecation/deletion
Go to this page to see a list of all Wiki entries that have currently been identified as potential candidates for deprecation/deletion from the Wiki

We need to be careful to ensure that any such deletions do not leave behind red, dead links.

When we delete pages in favour of material that is in the Manual (or gets transferred to the Manual) do we retain the links in the Wiki but point them at the Manual instead of the deleted Wiki page - or do we just remove the Wiki links. I am thinking particularly here of the Wiki's from Page Top Tutorials and Tips. Personally, I think we should remove those links from the front page but instead have clear links to the Tutorials page (and a probable new Tips page) in the Manual.

Pages marked for deletion after 2.0.6
Go to this page to see a list of all Wiki entries that have currently been marked for deprecation/deletion from the Wiki once 2.0.6 is released as their material has been transferred to the Manual. We will probably leave a redirect page behind to redirect any old links arising from Forum posts.

Pages that should probably stay in the Wiki
Go to this page to see a list of all Wiki entries that have currently been identified as candidates for potential transfer or deletion but are more likely to stay in the Wiki.

Some of these need updating/refreshing if they stay.
