[Development] Disabling "talk pages" on wiki.qt.io

[Jörg Bornemann]

Hi,

the Qt wiki has "talk pages" which people try use as forum or bug
tracker. Nobody (maybe apart from moderators) reads these pages, and
people are writing effectively to /dev/null. This lack of feedback
leads to long faces and certainly doesn't leave a good impression of
Qt's community.

Example: https://wiki.qt.io/Talk:Main I've answered the
stuff on that page now and added a "don't use" warning at the top.

 From a quick glance it seems that it's possible to disable or at least
hide talk pages in mediawiki. I think we should do that. Is anyone
opposing this step? If so, what's your use case for talk pages?


Cheers,

Joerg
