no.<br>

<blockquote type="cite"><span><pre wrap="">We could just say "hey, move it all to the wiki". However, IMO we also
don't want to lose the very useful ability to have frozen versions of
the documentation for each release:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.bugzilla.org/docs/">http://www.bugzilla.org/docs/</a>
AIUI, that would be hard to do on a standard MediaWiki like
wiki.mozilla.org.</pre></span></blockquote>
what's wrong with having different namespaces:<br>
<span> <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://wiki.bugzilla.org/docs/4.0/en/html/">http://wiki.bugzilla.org/docs/4.0/en/html/</a><br></span><span>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://wiki.bugzilla.org/docs/4.2/en/html/">http://wiki.bugzilla.org/docs/4.2/en/html/</a><br>
<br>
there are many mediawiki extensions which will allow us to restrict
editing of pages once we want to freeze the docs for a version.<br>
