That page merely contained a link to an external website. Yes, I looks like I forgot to fix the broken link :-( > I'll move the "polish translation" of that page to debian wiki from > http://lucasmanual.com/mywiki/FrontPagePolish to > http://wiki.debian.org/pl/Manual-Howto if that is the structure of > translated pages you guys prefer. Those all-in-one pages are still in the process of being merged in the rest of the wiki. Since most of the wiki isn't translated, I am not sure it's worth it.

I don't keep translation in sync, that something every contributors/translators should do. I do enforce conventions and common best practices, split/merge/refactor pages, even though I hope it would consume less time, so I could spend more time contributing actual content. > I've seen all the deleted content you have deleted and I think > on some pages it was needed. I do try to enforce conventions that were decided over time.

Some contents shouldn't be on this wiki. (A recent example is "How to install Joomla manually": This page should be on Joomla's wiki.

Wiki homepages are meant to present the wiki contributor, not a place to contribute contents. If one wants to have control over the contents he/she write, then he/she can publish it on it's own website. Debian Package maintainer are considered to "own" the page related to their package (but the conventions are still enforced). The same way, various Debian Teams are considered to own their pages, like M68k, DebianLive... The rest of the pages belongs to the wiki. The whole wiki should be consistent... It's a single giant "book". > What do you guys > think?

It isn't reverted randomly, it is perfectly consistent: "Don't duplicate content / don't use include".
