+## Moving docs to a new location?
+
+Read the guidelines:
+https://docs.gitlab.com/ce/development/documentation/index.html#changing-document-location
+
+- [ ] Make sure the old link is not removed and has its contents replaced with
+      a link to the new location.
+- [ ] Make sure internal links pointing to the document in question are not broken.
+- [ ] Search and replace any links referring to old docs in GitLab Rails app,
+      specifically under the `app/views/` and `ee/app/views` (for GitLab EE)  directories.
+- [ ] Make sure to add [`redirect_from`](https://docs.gitlab.com/ce/development/writing_documentation.html#redirections-for-pages-with-disqus-comments)
+      to the new document if there are any Disqus comments on the old document thread.
+- [ ] Update the link in `features.yml` (if applicable)
+- [ ] If working on CE and the `ee-compat-check` jobs fails, submit an MR to EE
+      with the changes as well (https://docs.gitlab.com/ce/development/writing_documentation.html#cherry-picking-from-ce-to-ee).
+- [ ] Ping one of the technical writers for review.
