Thanks or that Ricardo, I had forgotten that outdated also assigned the
category.

Thanks for clearing that up. I have just been searching for build
instructions (again), and in the search response I cannot see if an article
is outdated, so I had to open some before I got the correct one.
Would it be an idea (if possible) to have "outdated" as a category, and
extend the search to say with/without outdated, if possible that would work
fine for me since I would hit the recent one when searching.
AFAIK, the "outdated" template also apply the outdated category:

Ricardo

{{Documentation/Outdated}} and {{delete}} are two seperate entities.
Outdated merely says that some inormation is outdated and should be
revised. {{delete}} is a special case that marks a file for speedy
deletion
by an wiki administrator.
At least with the user documentation we tend to add to the document for
newer versions of the software rather than get rid of it as there are
still
people using older versions. This can however get carried to extremes. My
personal opinion is that it is probably time to start seriously
considering purging version 2.x stuff, but that is a discussion for
another
thread.

So if an article is outdated, then it is ready for deletion....or ???
Is it wise to have outdated articles alongside the correct/newer ones,
thinking of e.g. building instructions it would at least confuse me.
but I have no problem using {{Delete}} thanks for advicing me.

No the outdated symbol is different. {{Delete}} Is a template that puts
the article in a special category to be deleted by an admin or by a
bot.

I think we can find probably common consensus that we want to delete
pages to clean up this old stuff.
For example nobody needs today the old building guides. Let us focus
on
the future and here I think less but correct and up-to-date
information
is more.
When I remember correct there exist a template that could be used to
mark a page for deletion.
Simply put {{Delete}} on top of the page
Or we can create our own delete template with further instructions
how
to proceed.
Administrator can for this from time to time and can delete stuff. Or
we
can try to cleanup such pages via a wiki bot.

Nobody want to delete information and wiki pages only admin can
actually delete pages. Even then there might be some rights about
ownership. Is like sourceforge dont delete inactive projects.
Still good conversation to debate.

To my knowledge, articles that are marked outdated with a

a
newer article stays in Wiki.
Would it not be a good idea to remove such pages, in order not to
confuse
users ??
There are however no means, which I can find, to do that ?
Reason for my idea/question is that I am looking at localization
(l10n),
and there are a bit of old information.
