Cassandra Targett commented on SOLR-6520:
-----------------------------------------

I've been heads down on another project and am just catching up with this 
today...

bq. you are linking to the WIKI from those same pages already

A couple of points of explanation about that: First, those are frequently a 
legacy thing from when the ref guide was not part of the Solr/Lucene project.

Second, the wiki needs to be updated page-by-page to reflect the status of the 
ref guide as the official documentation for Solr. That's been a year+ -long 
TODO that we all want but no one has yet had a lot of time for. The thought is 
that the wiki will become a place where people can add tips & tricks, etc. - 
stuff that's not "documentation" per se, but still really valuable. When that 
happens, the links to the wiki make a lot more sense - with some changed 
wording - and why it's not a huge priority to systematically remove them today.

bq. link to the reference guide wherever you have a wiki link right now and 
mention the future-looking status in brackets.

I'm not following exactly - could you give me an example of what you mean?

>    Affects Versions: 4.10
>         Environment: web

> The [official document page for 
> Solr|https://lucene.apache.org/solr/documentation.html] is missing the link 
> to the live Solr Reference Guide. Only the link to PDF is there. In fact, one 
> has to go to the WIKI, it seems to find the link. 
> It is also not linked from [the release-specific documentation 
> page|https://lucene.apache.org/solr/4_10_0/index.html] either.
> This means the search engines do not easily discover the new content and it 
> does not show up in searches for when people look for information. It also 
> means people may hesitate to look at it, if they have to download the whole 
> PDF first.
