General notes
* BP Table 19.1 is out of date and needs to be updated
* GS - 5.4.1 says bare metal install covered in BP, but it isn't

General notes:

• there is a lot of material here: some of it is about supported features/scenarios and should be added to manuals. Other is about troubleshooting/bugfixing/consultant work - that is operations that should not be attempted by customers alone. That part I would leave here for a lack of a better place. A few pages are developer-only material that should be moved to the GitHub Wiki
• whenever a topic is covered in the manual, the corresponding Wiki page should be removed or replaced with a reference to the manual. We do not want to maintain outdated copies
• below are my opinions, some include best-effort guesses about topics I am not too familiar with. Objections from others welcome, in the mean time you should have a solid list of to-do items to start from
• contact me if anything is not clear

Thanks for this big, long overdue cleanup!

https://wiki.microfocus.com/index.php/SUSE_Manager/Local_Mirror - double check, strange it's not documented yet. In any case NCC has been superseded by SCC so it has to be updated
https://wiki.microfocus.com/index.php/SUSE_Manager/Multiple_Admins - works as expected in 3.1, outdated, remove
https://wiki.microfocus.com/index.php/SUSE_Manager/SUSE_Manager/NewFeatures2.1/BareMetalProvisioning - should be in manuals
https://wiki.microfocus.com/index.php/SUSE_Manager/NewFeatures2.1/PackageEULA - should be in manuals

https://wiki.microfocus.com/index.php/SUSE_Manager/Osad_and_jabberd_troubleshooting - only "Open file count exceeded" is still relevant. Leave "Dumping XMPP network data for debugging purposes" in wiki, we point consultants here from bug reports when needed
https://wiki.microfocus.com/index.php/SUSE_Manager/Ports_Diagrams - we have port lists in tables and not graphical diagrams. I would personally keep tables because they are easier to maintain, your choice
https://wiki.microfocus.com/index.php/SUSE_Manager/PostgreSQL_limitations - outdated, remove
https://wiki.microfocus.com/index.php/SUSE_Manager/SUSE_Manager/PowerVM_virtualization_info_gathering - looks like developer-only information. Ask Franky and move to developers GitHub Wiki

https://wiki.microfocus.com/index.php/SUSE_Manager/ReRegisterPy - leave this here, consultant material
https://wiki.microfocus.com/index.php/SUSE_Manager/ReclaimingDiskSpace - add to manuals with a note: official SUSE channels cannot be removed. Only custom ones

https://wiki.microfocus.com/index.php/SUSE_Manager/SaltClientfromTemplate - should be added to Register_Clones, it's just a special case
https://wiki.microfocus.com/index.php/SUSE_Manager/SaltPkgsetBeacon - internal implementation details. Manuals should just say that using zypper directly is not recommended but supported
https://wiki.microfocus.com/index.php/SUSE_Manager/Security_Firewall - just update the port lists if necessary
https://wiki.microfocus.com/index.php/SUSE_Manager/Server_Push - outdated, remove
https://wiki.microfocus.com/index.php/SUSE_Manager/Sizing_Scaling - outdated, remove
https://wiki.microfocus.com/index.php/SUSE_Manager/SolverTestcase - move to https://github.com/SUSE/spacewalk/wiki/Horror-stories-(hard-bugs)

https://wiki.microfocus.com/index.php/SUSE_Manager/Sync_RHEL_media - same as above
https://wiki.microfocus.com/index.php/SUSE_Manager/SystemGroupStates - should be added. Spacecmd can probably be used to get the GID, instead of guessing from urls
https://wiki.microfocus.com/index.php/SUSE_Manager/System_Activation_Keys - BP
https://wiki.microfocus.com/index.php/SUSE_Manager/TracebackMail-get_server_capability - outdated, remove
https://wiki.microfocus.com/index.php/SUSE_Manager/Tuning_Central_Config - outdated, remove
https://wiki.microfocus.com/index.php/SUSE_Manager/TypicalProblems - I like the idea but content is pretty outdated. I would remove for now

https://wiki.microfocus.com/index.php/SUSE_Manager/ifup_NetworkManagerCheckingoff - seems Cloud related, not Manager related. Does not belong here
https://wiki.microfocus.com/index.php/SUSE_Manager/migration_notes - to me this is consulting material, should be left in Wiki but not in manuals
https://wiki.microfocus.com/index.php/SUSE_Manager/reserved-channel-labels - list is outdated and will always be. Check with mc if we really want this or not
https://wiki.microfocus.com/index.php/SUSE_Manager/reserved-channel-names - see above
https://wiki.microfocus.com/index.php/SUSE_Manager/rhel-gpg-keys - AT. Seems still relevant. Check with Red Hat experts
https://wiki.microfocus.com/index.php/SUSE_Manager/rhel-minor-version - AT. Seems still relevant. Check with Red Hat experts
https://wiki.microfocus.com/index.php/SUSE_Manager/salt_state_and_ad - AT, but please check if this is a supported scenario first
https://wiki.microfocus.com/index.php/SUSE_Manager/zypp_commands - looks like developer information to me, I would move to GitHub Wiki

Please add this: https://wiki.microfocus.com/index.php/SUSE_Manager/minion-content-staging
to the manual and then removed from the wiki. Ping me if you need any additional info. Thanks!

Thanks @moio and @mbologna! <3
