Although I am not very involved in LocalGroups yet, as one of the local groups, I prefer the latter option (placing pages at the top level and adding CategoryLocalGroups). It is easier for us to advertise our wiki page verbally and for people to access it. If we choose the former option (placing pages under the /LocalGroups/ namespace), I would update all existing external backlinks to point to the new page and remove /DebianKorea/**. Having to keep an eye on two pages (/DebianKorea/** for historical redirection and /LocalGroups/DebianKorea/** for the actual content) is a pain to manage. -- Jongmin Kim D3D7 A235 22B6 41FB 78AC C775 0000 01EF CF1A 50FA
