Mark documentation about limn as deprecated
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Docs on wikitech/mediawiki etc such as this one should be marked as deprecated (preferably via adding the {{Template:Archive}} or whatever is available on the wiki) as Limn has been superseded by Dashiki:

https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Analytics/Dashboards#Make_Limn_instance

Also likely we need a note about limn not being maintained anymore in github:

https://github.com/wikimedia/limn/blob/master/README.md

Event Timeline

Change 327216 had a related patch set uploaded (by Mforns):
Mark Limn as deprecated by Analytics at WMF

The wikitech page should be totally rewritten. Marking it as deprecated will avoid people getting confused, but we are missing updated documentation on the dashboards subject. I renamed the existing page by adding the "_(archived)" suffix (also its talk page) and will rewrite it in a new page with its original title.

Regarding the limn documentation on github, I removed all references to the reportcard and the editor engagement dashboards and marked the project as deprecated by the Analytics team. (patch above).

Finished rewriting the documentation on Wikitech: https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Analytics/Dashboards
Comments are welcome!
