[Bf-committers] Wiki Dust: 2 "Why's" and a rant

[Gaia]

I noticed 2 annoyances with the Wiki User manual:

1.) When i open any page of the user manual...

http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Doc:2.6/Manual

Then i get greated with a big "Please don't edit 2.6 manual pages".
And i remember last time i asked in IRC about 9 months ago,
i was told to be patient for a few weeks until the reorganisation
of the wiki has taken place...

So if you are curious then go and check when the "wiki tasks
review 2.6 Manual" has been updated the last time:

http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Meta:Wiki_Tasks/Review_2.6_Manual

I am not so sure what that means...

Ok, so i have decided to stop waiting, ignore the message and
started to update documents (which happen to not been
touched since 2011, so what)

However i always thought wikis are good for inviting users to
help documenting. But if it is consense that "normal users" can
not document with anticipated quality, then some "unnormal user"
should be identified to at least keep the basic manuals  up to date.

ok, enough ranting.

2.) When i navigate in the left navigation bar ...

and then select a page, the navigation bar collapses and i have
to open all sublevels again to find the follow up page.

Now why doesn't the left navigation bar keep its state ? And if
that can not be done for technical reasons (which i doubt actually)
then why don't we have at least a "previous/next page" link on
each page ? And if that can not be done as well (which i doubt
as well) then..., well then i don't know.

I can live with the "Please don't help us improving the wiki"
message on top of each page. But Please please please...
Fix the navigation at least !!!
