#10541 — Remove wiki version of the python policy?

Hi guys,

I noticed that https://wiki.debian.org/Python/Policy is full of
obsolete ways to do.
Is it worth updating it or should I just remove everything there and
redirect to https://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/python-policy/
?

It's ranked 3rd in Google when looking for "Debian Python Policy", so
there might still be more people than it should ending up there.

Thanks for your help,
Joseph

I don't see how a “redirect” (which I understand to be automatic, not
controlled by the visitor) to a URL outside the wiki would be good.

Joseph, do you mean simply replacing the article content with a “now the
policy is in the packaging manuals” external link?

Yes, that's what I meant, sorry for the confusion.

Okay. Yes, that sounds fine to me.

Hopefully just pointing (not redirecting) to the canonical location will
be enough to gradually teach search engines the correct answer :-)

https://wiki.debian.org/Python/Policy has been updated/cleaned up.
Sorry it took so long.
