There's no problem with that, but are people are actually planning to do so?

this documentation to the main wiki.)

So people search for such content by using the wiki index and/or wiki
search? This seems odd to me since so much other important documentation is
*not* in the wiki. I would expect a google search to be more useful,
generally, or following links from somewhere.

I'm pretty sure the Debian women wiki *isn't* maintained, which is all the
more reason I worry about the content being subject to edits by people who
don't actually have a clue what they're doing if it's moved to the main
wiki.
