Hi,
As most are aware, there's a lot of information on the Ovirt Wiki that's out of date. In spite of our best efforts, that will probably always be true - it's the nature of Wikis.
When I look for information on our Wiki, I never know where the most current information is.
I think it would be really helpful if someplace on each Wiki page was a useful date to let us know the currency of the info. Probably the most useful date is last-modified, although creation date might also be useful. Maybe we could even map/display the date to the version number of whatever the current stable release was at the time for context (sometimes the content of a page calls out a particular version it's addressing, but a lot of the time it does not).
Just as an example, I want to find out about migrating my existing configuration to self-hosted, using 3.4 RC2. A google search shows the following links (in order shown):
http://www.ovirt.org/Features/Self_Hosted_Engine http://www.ovirt.org/Migrate_to_Hosted_Engine http://www.ovirt.org/Hosted_Engine_Howto ...
I'm sure the Features page is ancient at this point. It's hard to tell about the 2nd page.
Of course the date a page was last modified doesn't directly indicate how correct/current the information is, but there's a correlation. Knowing the date would be useful in making a judgment. It might even help the task of identifying and cleaning up obsolete pages.
Easy to do?

Hi Bob, I'm not against it and I'm aware of the fact that pages tend to become out of date. Since every page has a history as you can see in the attached, adding another date seems needles.
What do you think?
Hi Doron,
I was thinking of something very simple - a clear text date on ever page on the Wiki.
I can't see anything that looks like your attached picture of menus on this page, for example: http://www.ovirt.org/Features/Self_Hosted_Engine
Do you have to log in to see that menu? If so, that's not very helpful to those without accounts...

Hi Bob, so for that we have the update date:
Current status Initial POC devel Last updated: March 13, 2014
There is an ongoing discussion about adding correct edit dates to all wiki pages http://lists.ovirt.org/pipermail/infra/2014-February/005448.html The above timestamp is not right. Last change was done on November 2013 Fixed wiki for displaying last revision correctly as didi suggested. We're waiting on someone with enough rights for updating all wiki pages possibly in automated manner adding the correct line there. Otherwise we've to go over all pages and do that manually.
