Hello, I have a proposal to improve PDL's documentation.
Get rid of the following wiki pages: * Everything under "Installing PDL the quick and easy way" https://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/pdl/index.php?title=Installing_PDL_the_quick_and_easy_way These pages are all outdated. The wiki doesn't even show any history for any of them. No history at all. They are all years out of date - nobody is updating them. Look, I just learned 5 minutes ago that Matt actually has a Mac OS binary for PDL 2.4.6, uploaded to SourceForge only two months ago, yet the wiki is pointing to a version from another website that is 3 years old. The only installation page that is updated is the "manual install" page. It was last updated 6 months ago. So we'll keep that one. All other pages should be nuked. In turn, they should be replaced by a single install page with updated and correct information, located on the main site. Something like this: http://pdl.perl.org/future/?page=install Except that this page doesn't yet have all the instructions. But what I want to do is put the instructions, except for "manual install", directly on this page. Then I want to get rid of all the never-updated pages which will do nothing but lead users astray, toward poor information and old releases of PDL. Does anyone know how I can delete a page on Mediawiki?
