[fedora-websites] Issue #1087: Remove the "old page" tag from "Communicating and getting help" fedoraproject.org/wiki page

[Grzegorz Kowzan]

gkowzan reported a new issue against the project: `fedora-websites` that you are following:
``
«This page has been marked as "old", and likely contains content that is irrelevant or incorrect»

The quote above is the first thing you see when you open [Communicating and getting help](https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicating_and_getting_help) wiki page. You can easily reach it by going to getfedora.org, going down and clicking Get Help, which is something you're likely to do when you're considering switching to Fedora and want to know beforehand what documentation and resources are available. It makes Fedora look like a failing project with apathetic developers and nonexistent community, and certainly made me reconsider switching to Fedora in the past. Ironically enough, the discussion page contains a recommendation to remove the old page tag---dated January 6, 2017---and the first sentence tries to assure you that "Fedora has a strong community that is ready to help you".

Could the old page tag be removed?

I have gone through the repo but can't find the Communication_and_getting_help.html file as specified in the following  path " https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicating_and_getting_help "
There is a MediaWiki folder in the fedoraproject.org but it does not contain the Communication_and_getting_help.html file 
How do I find this path https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicating_and_getting_help, please?

@mattdm since you are the one who added the banner on https://fedoraproject.org/w/index.php?title=Communicating_and_getting_help&a... , can you tell what is the plan ? I tend to agree with the reporter that it doesn't look great as a 1st impression.

The plan is to move this page to docs.fedoraproject.org, split it into "Getting help" and "Project Communications" :)

I said I would work on this, but I haven't had a chance yet... it really needs a big revamp/rewrite. There's a discussion thread on it.

Yeah. It's been on my todo list for a while too. The thing is, the information on that wiki page _is_ out of date. I agree that the "old" tag doesn't look good, but it's worse for it to be outdated and not give any warning. So, help wanted.

See thread that Kevin refers to here: https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/updating-the-communicating-and-gettin...

and also https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/hey-matrix-sig-folks-a-lot-of-writing... about Matrix in general.

@menekam_rudy The "/wiki" section of https://fedoraproject.org is powered by MediaWiki. The source document is not a `.html` file (which is why you can't find one) but rather HTML generated by the wiki engine.

You can find the source in MediaWiki markup format by looking at https://fedoraproject.org/w/index.php?title=Communicating_and_getting_help&a....

However, that content should not be just auto-converted. It really needs an entire rewrite. I'll put some thoughts on that into the docs ticket at https://pagure.io/Fedora-Council/council-docs/issue/101
