Importing articles from the old wiki
Hi. Simply linking to articles on mirrors of the old wiki is not considered acceptable. If this were to be allowed, this wiki may turn into nothing but a links directory, which is not its purpose. Additionally, the majority of these articles are now out of date due to changes in packaging, drivers and general advances in the way things are done. These articles should be properly imported to the new wiki so that they can be kept up-to-date, and checked for any glaring errors that stop them working.

Additionally, usage of the old page naming conventions (ie. HARDWARE / TIP / HOWTO prefixes) is not allowed, even for redirects. These page naming conventions were phased out before the old wiki was lost and it was decided to disallow them completely to keep the new wiki tidier and make maintainance easier.

As sacred as your above policy is, keep in mind that search engines link to the page in the old wiki. Users who find a broken link, will probably not be able to find the old page unless they know what happened.

I switched to Debian, so it is unlikely I will do anything further with the Gentoo Wiki.
