Request for comments on my articles for a corporate intranet wiki

I'm in the process of putting together a series of articles aimed at a corporate intranet (I've seen a fair few in my time and I am a consultant for various things for a lot of companies - my personal focus is really as a Linux sysadmin and IT security in general). The end goal is on end-to-end lifecycle management of a wiki (hence why I cover OS installation) and reproducibility, to get a useful MW up and running quickly and safely in a largely Windows/AD world.

I have made this lot my company's official wiki installation documentation, hence it will be kept up to date and not be left to gather dust (we are ISO 9000/27000 accredited - we do docs!). This is a bit of an experiment but I think it could work well - the whole point of a wiki is not simply shouting into the void. I could have kept these articles hidden away on my wiki or share and I'd rather share.

  • I have made some decisions and I am open to criticism of them
  • Could someone tell me where this lot might be best placed on MW
  • Requests for features

Either post here or for more involved discussions, dump that on the Discussion Page for the root article. Feature requests - put them directly into the top level page under "Status"

The articles are currently here: User:Gerdesj/Intranet (I'll update this link when they move)

Cheers

I definitely think such docs are in scope for this wiki, although I don't think the existing structure has an explicit place for them - but it is a wiki, so you can change that :)

Thank you for contributing documentation.

You may also be interested in contacting MWStake as they are also very interested in using MediaWiki in intranet environments.
