We need someone to build and execute a script that will move the DOM API pages into their proper organization. Lemme splain [1]: The good news is that most of the 1,129 pages in the dom namespace already have an attribute that describes their preferred location, and this could be used in a script to move them to that location. The attribute is the *Applies to* field, which is a parameter of the API_Object_Method, and API_Object_Property templates. The value is consistently the object to which the method or property belongs. We want methods and properties under their objects (i.e. dom/Element/error). The bad news is that we also need to update the pages that link to these pages with the new location in the link since we want to avoid creating a huge pile of redirects. So the script/bot would need to update those pages that link to dom pages. We need some sort of bot/script that performs these tasks. I've scoped and outlined the work involved in WPD:Projects/DOM_API_docs [2]. The pseudocode for the script is there, too. *frozenice*: would you be available to whip up a script to accomplish this? ~Scott [1] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yokQ0_8__ts [2] http://docs.webplatform.org/wiki/WPD:Projects/DOM_API_docs#Reorganization_procedure
