Support for Drupal 7 is ending on 5 January 2025—it’s time to migrate to Drupal 10! Learn about the many benefits of Drupal 10 and find migration tools in our resource center.
During the Drupalcon Chicago Docsprint, the Upgrade Guide for Drupal 7 was reviewed (see: http://drupal.org/node/536854)
While reviewing, we also worked on a reorganization of the complete Upgrade section (http://drupal.org/upgrade), but we did not have time to fix everything. Three general issues could still be worked on:
- After 'Upgrading from Drupal 5 to 6', a new section could be added about the steps after the upgrade process. This could contain:
- Review the 'Before you Begin' section
- Clean up the http://drupal.org/node/635460. This section contains quite some redundant pages, including:
- Create a Test Site
- http://drupal.org/node/340073

#536854 is #536854: Review and test the upgrade guide for Drupal 7
Makes it slightly easier to understand.

LarsKramer CreditAttribution: LarsKramer commentedHi, I have done a few modifications to the Before you begin section.
However, I see now that most of this information is already covered in the section about upgrading from Drupal 6 to 7. And so I found this issue :-)
So I am thinking about which of these two methods would be the best approach for organizing the Upgrade guide:
Also I am not sure what is the best practice for tagging pages about upgrades between two versions: both versions or only the "to"-version (D7 in most cases). Currently there is some inconsistency.

LarsKramer CreditAttribution: LarsKramer commentedThinking more about this, I suggest putting all general information outside the version specific upgrade guides. This will avoid duplicated pages and make it easier to maintain.
