I definitely think we need to do something about them. Your idea sounds
good, although wouldn't we have to use several "attic"-groups in order to
know from which group the page originally came? They could be called
something like:
Attic-Cookbook/
Attic-PmWiki/
...
Then there is also a need to more easily "move" a page to an attic group,
preferably without losing the page history.
Maybe there is another way to mark a page as depreceated or moved into the
attic? What if we introduced a special tag, that tags a page as
depreceated and pagelist will by default not include pages with this tag?
Or perhaps it shouldn't be a tag, but rather a special 'Attic' category?
Anyway, if we could somehow mark a page as being in the "attic", we
wouldn't have to move it, and hence no problem with keepign it's history.
Basically it's just hidden.
In fact, we could even envision two levels of this:
* Depreceated - a set of pages that will eventually disappear from
pagelists etc.
* Archived - a set of pages that aren't by default included in pagelists
etc.
What do you think?
