I think we need to discuss whether those moves are necessary.

I made a lot of refactoring changes yesterday and now the page functions as the "Git tutorial". The original tutorial contained a brief explanation of how Gerrit works overall. That explanation has been expanded and moved to Gerrit/How Gerrit works. It also contained the web tutorial and how to comment on a change. That has been moved to Gerrit/Web tutorial.

I did this to make it more clear that users can can choose between using the Git interface or the Web interface when creating or modifying a change. The original tutorial page was also very long some useful contents could be missed if someone didn't read it all. The new Gerrit/How Gerrit works page acts as the new tutorial and allows beginners to follow the code submission and review process completely in a broad overview with specific links on how to do things part of that process. That way they don't have to scroll through the entire original tutorial page just to find how to comment on the code in a change.

The translatable page cannot be moved to a new name because of the following error:

Gerrit/Tutorial

  • This translatable page consists of over 500 pages. Moving this many pages has been found to be unreliable. Please contact a system administrator to do this via a maintenance script.

hm okay then. it's fine if we don't move it. The links to it on other pages already reference it as the git tutorial so we're fine.

As I expressed in Phabricator, in my understanding the page is NOT a Git tutorial. It is a tutorial how to use Gerrit (and how to use Git for Gerrit). Thus it should not be renamed I'd say...

Well it's a tutorial on how to use Git with Gerrit. That's why it's a subpage of Gerrit... It's not a general git tutorial.

I agree with Shirayuki and Andre that we should not rename it. When we migrate to GitLab we'll need an entirely different tutorial anyway, and as the two systems will exist in parallel for months or years we won't want to merge them into one.
