Yannis and I talked about this via private message but I think it's important to add topic to the forums too.
So what happened?
On friday I was going through the Wiki. Just reading the articles. However, after reading some of them I came to a conclusion that the Wiki needs are full rewrite for the RC3 release. I first added information about the plugins because I think people need more information about them in general and guides how to use them (if they're complex). See
Code::Blocks Plugins.
Next I started some major reorganization. I "removed"* majority of the old categories and created two main categories:
User Documentation and
Developer Documentation.
Installation documentation was next. I "deleted"* majority of it. The reason was that there was 3 different articles discussing about installing Code::Blocks from source on Windows alone. The documentation is now split into three procedures: installing latest official version, installing nightly
build and installing from source. See
Installing Code::Blocks.
I moved several articles to the Deletion requests. I honestly don't think the articles belong to the Code::Blocks Wiki. Of course I know it isn't my decision what belongs to the Wiki and what doesn't. But in my book, the Wiki is primarily for documentation
about Code::Blocks.
On saturday evening (my local time) the reorganization was pretty much over. I finally added description about the event in the Current Events page and updated the main page.
I'm sorry if my edits/removals have offended someone. Please understand that I edited the Wiki because of the Code::Blocks project, not to put someone else's work down. I'm also sorry about that I didn't inform the developers before doing a major update.
Am I going to stop editing the Wiki? Of course not. The RC3 release is close and the Wiki still needs updating, wikifying, new categories, new templates and new articles.
Now that this thing is settled, let's get back to work.

* When I say deleted/removed this isn't the case. The articles still exist in the Wiki so don't panic.
