- Check and delete as necessary https://docs.moodle.org/en/Special:UnusedFiles
- (Check and delete as necessary https://docs.moodle.org/en/Special:ShortPages )
Create a tracker issue for creating new en and de version wikis similar to MDLSITE-6265.
3 weeks prior
In new version wiki:
- Edit MediaWiki:MoodleDocsVersionLinks
- Edit Main_page
- Add message to MediaWiki:Sitenotice
- Remove new features template from all pages in Category:New_features
- Edit Template:New_features and Category:New_features
- Go through tracker issues with the docs_required label and the release notes for the upcoming release and add documentation on new features plus the new features template
- Create Upgrading_to_Moodle_3.x and redirect to Upgrading
- Update version number in Template:Version and Template:Version2 and Git for Administrators
- Review Special:WantedPages
- Review Special:LonelyPages
- Review instances of "(new in 3.x)" text (not always necessary to remove them)
- Add link to new version wiki to https://docs.moodle.org/dev/MediaWiki:Sidebar
- Add link to new version wiki to https://docs.moodle.org/en/MoodleDocs:Overview
- Post on moodle.org in the Moodle community sites forum about the new version wikis e.g. Moodle Docs 3.9 wikis now available
1 week prior
In new wiki:
- Remove message in MediaWiki:Sitenotice
- Check (and update if needed) Upgrading and Upgrade overview pages
In all older version wikis:
- Edit https://docs.moodle.org/en/MediaWiki:MoodleDocsVersionLinks to add the new version and remove older versions (though keeping 3.9 as LTS release)
Day of release
Request for the new version wiki to be made default and email notification of watched pages to be enabled.
In previous latest version wiki:
- Edit https://docs.moodle.org/en/MediaWiki:Noarticletext to make it like https://docs.moodle.org/2x-1/en/MediaWiki:Noarticletext
- Edit https://docs.moodle.org/en/Creating_SCORM_Content to make it like https://docs.moodle.org/2x-1/en/Creating_SCORM_Content
- Go through Special:RecentChanges in the previous most recent version wiki and add relevant changes to the new version wiki
- Edit https://docs.moodle.org/en/Awards and add so it redirects to the latest version of the page
<nowiki>#redirect [[:en:Awards]]</nowiki>
- Edit https://docs.moodle.org/en/MoodleDocs:Overview and add so it redirects to the latest version of the page
<nowiki>#redirect [[:en:MoodleDocs:Overview]]</nowiki>
- For no longer supported versions, create MediaWiki:Sitenotice by copying content from https://docs.moodle.org/37/en/MediaWiki:Sitenotice
Final checks
- Email notification of watched pages enabled
- Links without version number e.g. https://docs.moodle.org/en/Main_page redirect to the new version wiki
- Docs links from a dev site, such as the QA testing site, redirect to the correct page in the new version wiki
- New version wiki listed in https://docs.moodle.org/overview/
