removing deprecated pages from the manual

[Olivier Sessink]

Hi all,

the manual in the wiki has quite a few deprecated pages, such as the
"installing bluefish" pages. The table of contents is, therefore, crowded
with irrelevant things.

Shouldn't we remove those pages so we get a smaller but more relevant manual?

A couple of people already have admin access to the Wiki (required to
delete pages). If anyone else needs delete access, let me know.

Also, for non-admins I propose using [[Category:Delete]] to nominate pages
for deletion.

If you have suggestions or want to do bulk deletions, I'd be happy to help.

I have add un 'o' obsolete status in manual 2:
{{Man2top
|lang=en
|rev=2.0.0
|st=o

page marked as obsolete are not in category Manual 2
http://bfwiki.tellefsen.net/index.php/Category:Manual_2
but in category "Manual 2 deprecated"
http://bfwiki.tellefsen.net/index.php/Category:Manual_2_deprecated

After that, all pages in Manual_2_deprecated can be removed from ToC,
or redirected to an appropriate page,
e.g. 'Man 2 ch02' can be redicted to 'Installing Bluefish',
for that just add: #REDIRECT[[Installing_Bluefish]]
at the first line of the page to be redirected.

Links to ToC, at bottom of pages 'Manual 2', now point to the new updated ToC page.

thanks,

can I just edit the table of contents to remove pages like "Latest
Snapshot Version" that are no longer relevant ?
