Dear LocalGroups and Wiki teams,
I would like to ask about the necessity of relocating existing top-level
local group pages to LocalGroups/ namespace.
We, Debian Korea, the local group in the Republic of Korea, initially
had our page since 2023 at:
https://wiki.debian.org/DebianKorea
During DebConf25, we learned about the LocalGroups wiki page. We had
planned to add our group's **entry** to LocalGroups, once we established
a group mailing list.
However, yesterday our page was moved to LocalGroups/DebianKorea without
any prior discussion with us.
Since our group has been using top-level page as our publicly advertised
main homepage, this change is quite significant to us.
https://debian-kr.org (302 redirect to https://wiki.debian.org/DebianKorea)
After inquiring, I was told that LocalGroups/DebianKorea is the correct
namespace, rather than using a top-level one.
I understand that most local groups are in the LocalGroups/ namespace,
as it is the desinated location. And now I can see that some more local
group pages are being moved from the top level to LocalGroups/:
https://wiki.debian.org/DebianKorea (moved to LocalGroups/DebianKorea yesterday)
https://wiki.debian.org/DebianIndia (moved to LocalGroups/DebianIndia today)
However, there are still local group pages at the top-level:
https://wiki.debian.org/DebianThailand
https://wiki.debian.org/DebianNigeria
https://wiki.debian.org/DebianNYC
https://wiki.debian.org/DebianChile
https://wiki.debian.org/DebianPeru
And there are others not at the top-level but also not in the
LocalGroups/ namespace:
https://wiki.debian.org/Brasil/GUD (and its subpages)
Has there been any consensus on this relocation?
Is it necessary for a local group to be placed under the LocalGroups/
namespace instead of using a top-level page and adding an entry to
LocalGroups/?
Is it considered incorrect to maintain our local group's page at the
top-level of the Debian Wiki? I thought this was allowed, as it seems
quite similar to a user page:
https://wiki.debian.org/JongminKim
Many thanks,
