Technical communications/Mobile documentation consolidation

The mobile team would like to consolidate/centralize their documentation (currently split between meta and mediawiki.org) on mediawiki.org

This would also be an opportunity to better organize the content, update outdated pages and retire obsolete ones.

Note: There are currently plans to move project documentation to wikitech, but since there isn't a timeline yet (or even consensus), it makes sense to proceed with this centralization and not wait for a move to wikitech (unless the move to wikitech is uncontroversial and can happen quickly enough).

 * 68 pages when excluding redirects and translations:

Proposed organization

 * 1) Everything is imported under Wikimedia Mobile engineering/imported.
 * 2) The pages are then moved under Wikimedia Mobile engineering, Wikimedia Apps or a more specific page.
 * 3) The content of Mobile is merged into Wikimedia Mobile engineering, and the various facets are highlighed (What is it, Mobile web, Apps & Partners)

We can use LST to avoid duplicating content, while still being able to present it differently (example).

Steps

 * Inventorize ✅
 * Delete the pages on meta that are no longer useful
 * Plan the organization
 * Determine who does what
 * Import the content
 * Meta is already configured as a transwiki import source for mediawiki.org, but given the number of pages it will be easier to use XML export/import
 * Importing all pages under a "Destination root page" like Wikimedia Mobile engineering/imported and then renaming to a proper name would be a good idea: it would avoid making a mess, prevent title conflicts, and give a unified pointer for interwiki redirects.
 * Clean up & organize the content
 * Add interwiki redirects to historical pages on meta
 * If all pages are imported into mediawiki.org under a "Destination root page", adding an interwiki redirect to page  is simply a matter of replacing its content by  . When the page is renamed on mediawiki.org, the redirect there can lead to the page. Adding interwiki redirects to all moved pages can be done using a bot.
 * (TBD) Convert translated pages to use the Translate extension
 * This will probably be manual (and a bit tedious) work; better check if those pages are still used.

Todo

 * Reach out to Maryana & Dan to see if they have objections or comments
 * Check that the translated pages on meta are still needed (to determine if they should be kept, and converted to Translate)
