As a specific example, this tutorial is heavily outdated (still referring to rosbuild and using roslib.load_manifest) and seems to be superseeded by this and this tutorial. Is there any procedure for removing the obsolete tutorial (as it is likely to confuse newcomers)?
No, I don't think there is a standardised procedure. As it's a wiki, pages are either updated or removed.
In this case, I would recommend to update the page by using the Buildsystem(..) macro.
That should make it possible to provide proper instructions for both rosbuild and Catkin`.
Those two tutorials do seem to cover about the same content, yes. They do separate things into two tutorials, which aren't so clearly linked (well, there is the next tutorial at the top, but that might not be apparent when you get to the bottom of the page).
If after a careful inspection and comparison of those three pages you still feel that they cover the same content, then I would think deleting the old one would be acceptable.
It's a wiki, so after you've received write access, go ahead and remove the old page.
I've reviewed all three pages and I still feel the one I mention is obsolete. However, I have another concern now, which is possible links to the deleted page which will become invalidated. I've tried using the <<FullSearch(linkto:BackLinks)>> macro, but it doesn't seem to work.
According to General Page Infos the only page that links to it is the dynamic_reconfigure page.
I'm unable to delete the page (can't see a "Delete" button and deleting all content and saving is disabled). Should I open up a thread on discourse.ros.org to discuss this further? I think a documented wiki page removal procedure might be a good idea.
