Or at the very least, make it an trancludable [1] wiki template {{Fedora_15_Test_Results_Instructions}}. I'd be opposed to this, for a couple of reasons: the instructions may differ between matrices (I think they do, for desktop and install) and I like the simplicity of having a single page you can point people to for one particular matrix. Using a template is probably feasible for any bits that are duplicated between pages, I'll take a look at that. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Fedora Talk: adamwill AT fedoraproject DOT org http://www.happyassassin.net -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
