One thing that just came up on the wrt1900 support forum as we were talking 
about cleaning up the several pages for related routers.

There is a lot of data that is critically important early on in the process, or 
when working to fix things when they are broken, that is not useful once the 
device is supported and everything is working fairly well.

A lot of this information is also common across many different devices from the 
same manufacturer, but with different wiki pages there is a tendency to have 
some pages with the info, some without, and some with different versions of it.

As such, I'd like to throw out the idea that this sort of info not be stored 
directly on the wiki page for each device, but instead be stored off in some 
out-of-the way hierarchy and referenced by the relavent pages.

For example

debricking processes
flashing via serial
flashing via bootp
flashing via ftp

tend to be the same for all devices from a given manufacturer (at least for 
everything manufactured within a given timeframe)


Also

bootlogs
serial port pinouts (with pictures)

tend to be critical early on, but almost never used after the support is solid.


Other things to consider

switch port assignments (for things like the wrt1900ac that have non-trivial 
port configs out of the box)

thoughts?
