Wiki-specific policy

Today someone mentioned in #postgresql that some pages got lost in the 
techdocs->wiki transition, and it turned out what actually happened is 
that there were no actual links to them anywhere.  Come to find they were 
all listed at http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Special:Lonelypages I made 
one pass through trying to prune the number of orphaned pages by attaching 
them somewhere useful or otherwise dealing with them.  Found a couple of 
useful pages that way so far, most of what's left are actually linked to 
by http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Category:Software_Ports

As part of that, I found a unreferenced page somebody had created as a 
scratchpad, something that's really better done as part of someone's user 
page.  I cleaned that up by moving their content to their user page, 
notifying them with a suggestion to utilize that area in the future rather 
than creating new trivial pages, then deleted the original page; orphan 
count dropped by one.  I paused briefly to consider there's no official 
policy suggesting anything like that though.  The Wikpedia policy I 
realized I've internalized is from 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Criteria_for_speedy_deletion , 
specifically general - #2 "Test pages".

There's supposed to be wiki-specific policies at 
http://wiki.postgresql.org/index.php?title=PostgreSQL_Wiki:Policy which is 
currently blank.  I was tempted to just redirect that to 
http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Policies but realized that's 
short-sighted:  there really should be a real page dedicated to 
maintainence of the wiki proper there instead eventually.
