I spoke briefly with Katrin (cait) in IRC, she's of the opinion that there will be a number of libraries that won't be able to use mana -- either for policy or technical reasons. I think she has a good point, and I expect that even after mana is operational, the SQL Reports Library on the Koha wiki will continue to live on. These are definitely valid points. At the same time, mana may also be useful in the cleanup process. My general feeling is that we should keep cleaning up the reports library as we find broken queries and such, but maybe wait on a full-bore cleanup until mana is in place.

Thank you, Barton.
I'm not totally clear on the future status of the Reports wiki. Is the idea that it would be completely replaced by the Mana KB?
The wiki is very easy to use & I suspect a resource that many librarians besides myself find very valuable (including librarians using non-standard versions of Koha).
Mana may prove to be the same, but I don't think I have an easy way to review what it will look like, or what it looks like in its current state ...
So my initial thought is to just proceed w/ these relatively trivial edits to the wiki. Will certainly hold off, though, if there's consensus that it's a waste of time :-)
Cheers,

Cab,
the reports wiki is in a state of benign neglect, because of development of _mana_, which will create a way for reports to be shared to and imported from a central server.
See

https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Mana_central_database
Bug 17047 - Mana Knowledge Base : share data (https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=17047).
We're still adding queries to the report library and fixing reports as we find out that they're broken, but we haven't bulk updated the reports to reflect the biblioitems.marcxml -> biblio_metadata.metadata move in 17.05 for instance.
Bug 17047 is currently signed off; if you logged in and added a comment to the QA team that this was a priority (and possibly also added a vote (next to 'importance' on the bug page), that would help move things along. :-)

Hi, All --
Apologies for the cross-posting.
The clean up of the Reports wiki page appears to have got stalled out: https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/SQL_Reports_Library
(Large no. of duplicate listings of reports for holds, patrons, & circulation (HPC), which also appear on corresponding pages -- https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/SQL_Reports_Holds, etc.)
I've identified the reports on the main page that aren't cross-listed (19 in total). I'd like to relocate these & then delete all the listings under the HPC categories on the main page.
I suspect these pages see a lot of use, however, so I don't want to barge in and inadvertently make things worse.
Anything I should be aware of before jumping in?
All best,
