> - My prefered option is the last : a batch way. As much as I like the discussion about how we could have a perfect page move tool, taking care of everything. We have to consider that this tool does not exist currently. As Chi pointed out, the page move plugin won't work in a large scale installation. Writing a new plugin would take some time and I'd like to concentrate on improving the docs first. > 0. Tidy root, but for this andi will not have too much work... That's quickly done.

Again, I don't like tagging pages with OK (BTW: like you I'm not talking about using the tag plugin). Because this leaves a huge set of pages with a tag that can quickly outdate. To avoid stepping on each toes we should organize the big day via IRC. Adding a summary (cleaned up and moved) should be enough to mark a page as done. > - If page needs major changes or taht you don't feel ok to rewrite > it, discuss about it leaving a comment at the top of the page (maybe with a > specific syntax)... good idea. something like secondlookneeded > As 1. point can be done online this won't end up in too much downtime, I > think... I do not intend to do anything offline (except for a few server restart for making the rewrites kick in) everything can be done on the live wiki (I might add a message about the changes at the top). Biggest problem are volunteers currently. As long as nobody steps forward to help, this is going to be difficult. For time I'd suggest a weeken in one or two weeks.
