No, I'd prefer to maintain the information in one place, in the manual,
and have a link from the wiki that points to the manual.

I deleted it because it duplicates information in the manual, and as
Jordi said, it makes no sense to have to maintain that information in
two places.

The wiki is supposed to supplement the manual, not duplicate it or
replace it.  If there is information in the wiki that more logically
belongs in the manual, then it should be moved to the manual and we
should link from the wiki to the manual.
